“On behalf of the Teijin Group, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for your contribution to our Groundbreaking Ceremony on 7 November 1997. We would not have had such a successful and memorable ceremony without Foreword Communications. I would like to thank you for your consideration, quick response and understanding of our tight schedule.”
Kimitsune Otome
Managing Director
Teijin Polycarbonate Singapore Pte Ltd
“The ceremony went well beyond our highest expectations. It was flawlessly and professionally executed under very difficult and unexpected circumstances. Your advice and guidance helped us to reformat the event in the light of the tragedy that shook the USA approximately 12 hours before and make it a success.”
Paul Martino
Managing Director
MSD Singapore Manufacturing Operations
“Dennis and I were impressed by the thoroughness of your proposal – especially in regard to the siting of the festivities. You managed to stay neutral, allowing us to choose from three stagings, yet, when we hesitated, you stepped in deftly and helped us to make the correct call. Throughout the event on 24 Sep, Foreword was in control but also completely behind the scenes. This sensitivity and subtlety are hallmarks of an excellent consultant.”
Glen T. Shen
Director, Operations
SurroMed Pte Ltd
“You did it once again! The Official Opening Ceremony was deemed a success. Feedback from Mr Kogan, our Chairman, was that the event was well organised and well executed and that, we in Singapore, should be very proud. This is the fifth time that Foreword Communications has organised a special event for Schering-Plough and each time, it has been a tremendous success.”
Dr Patrick Yeung
Executive Project Director

“Thank you for a job well done in organising and coordinating ASIMO events in Singapore. We appreciate the effort for the preparation of ASIMO events within the short timeframe given.”

“Foreword Communications did an excellent job to help us introduce ‘QB Shell’, our new hair cut concept, to Singapore. They formed for us a team who consisted of dedicated staff members led by a well-experienced manager. They were always helpful when I needed them. In less than a month, they analyzed our business, drafted newspaper ads, invitation letters and press release, and advised us on how to conduct the QB Shell Opening Ceremony at Changi Airport. They demonstrated their strong relationship with the media when our Ceremony was reported in almost all the main media in Singapore including The Straits Times, Business Times, and Channel NewsAsia.”
Hiroaki Yamashita
Chief Marketing Officer
QB Shell Private Limited
“Merck & Co., Inc., USA Senior Management who attended the event were extremely pleased with the event, especially on how the program was put together and precision on how it was executed. We were impressed with the press conference portion and the selection and mix of news media that attended. The pre-planning activities with Foreword and the MSD staff paid off. And you and your staff played a significant role in making this a memorable and enjoyable occasion for all.This is the second major opening that Foreword and MSD Manufacturing worked together on. As with the first event in September 2001, you and your staff showed patience and understanding working with Merck & Co., Inc., USA corporate HQ PA staff. All their questions and comments were completely addressed.”
Paul Martino
Managing Director
MSD Singapore Manufacturing Operations
“Thank you very much for organizing another successful Official Opening for us. This is the sixth time you have organized a special event for Schering-Plough Ltd. in the past eight years. You have consistently outdone yourselves. This was especially impressive because of the short lead time I have given you. It was only possible through the hard work of you and your staff. The theme of this opening was creative but pertinent. As always, everything worked like clockwork. I received many compliments from our guests including Mr. and Mrs. Hassan.”
Dr Patrick Yeung
Executive Project Director
Schering-Plough Ltd
“Someone remarked to me after the official opening ceremony in Shanghai that GES has an excellent PR engine and I told them that it’s called Foreword Communications.Although this event took place in Shanghai, you have demonstrated that Foreword Communications is equally able to achieve results in Singapore as well as outside the country. Your media strategy for maximising coverage in Singapore went as planned and received ink/airtime in the major dailies, the financial wires, Bloomberg Television, Channel NewsAsia, MediaCorp Radio and business publications. The media exposure in Shanghai was highly favourable too.”
Daniel Yeong
CEO and Group Managing Director
GES International Ltd
“ Foreword Communications is one of the best PR agencies I have worked with, and I am particularly impressed with the high level of commitment, enthusiasm and drive demonstrated by you and your consultants working on the various PR projects.Apart from professionalism, attention to detail and sound strategic counsel are some of the key qualities that I have experienced with the Foreword Communications team. With your well-established media and government contacts, strategic media relations and pitches as well as events support have translated into many success stories for us at Nokia.
For any PR professional looking for a highly-effective and cost-effective agency, I would strongly recommend Foreword Communications - where ROI is a given!”
