Some wait for the future. Others create it.

 

"You could be so many people...What have you done today...to make you feel...What have you done today to make you feel proud?"

 

Proud - song by Heather Small

 

Singapore, 2 May 2003 - The future is bigger and brighter with StarHub.

 

We combine the latest information, communication and entertainment services with the most exclusive and exciting content.

And there is nothing that you cannot create and achieve.

 

This simple yet powerful message forms the crux of a new, six-month long branding campaign that will kick off on 4 May 2003.

Television viewers and radio listeners will be able to hear excerpts of the song, Proud, an introspective and unplugged rendition of the original song by Heather Small. (You may also recall the original version by Heather Small that was played during the Sydney Olympics 2000.)

 

TV commercials will run on StarHub CableTV, Channel 5, Channel 8, as well as Channel NewsAsia, while Press advertisements will be placed in The Sunday Times, Lianhe Zaobao and TODAY.

 

"There is a lot more to StarHub than you have ever imagined. Our message is simple -- only StarHub can combine the latest information and communication services with the most exclusive and exciting content that our customers need to stay up-to-date, in touch and informed," said Ms Tham Loke Kheng, Senior Vice President of Consumer Marketing, Consumer Markets.
