The Content Team which was assembled in December 2005
and
comprises largely of individuals who were part of the Cable
TV, Mobile and IP & Internet Services teams,will plan and
execute content initiatives across all product lines. This move to
streamline StarHub's content development initiatives is to enable
StarHub to maintain its leadership in the delivery of content and
to ensure that its customers can enjoy even more hubbing of its
content offerings comprehensively across all its platforms.
"Content is a core element in our overall strategy
and represents one of the key advantages that StarHub has in
executing our Hubbing strategy. The formation of the Content Team
represents a determined effort by StarHub to ensure that
our customers’ infotainment needs are satisfied and quality
content is only a click away both at home and out of the home
environment," said Mr Mike Reynolds, Head of Commercial,
StarHub. "By bringing our content resources across the
company into one central team, we will be able to further leverage
on our expertise and experience, not to mention the strong,
long-standing relationships with our internationally renowned
content partners, to deliver content-rich services that cannot be
matched by our competitors."
Ms Tham Loke Kheng, who is leading StarHub’s Marketing team, will also head the new Content Team. She has taken on the new title of Senior Vice President for Marketing and Content at StarHub. "Loke Kheng has a depth of experience in the media and broadcast industry, ranging from programming to marketing in both free-to-air and pay TV markets. Together with her intimate knowledge of our customers and their info-comms needs, she is in an excellent position to further develop and execute our multi-platform content strategy," said Mr Reynolds.

content experience, whether they are at home watching cable TV and
