Unveiling the 2022 RJ Calendar

Since 1992, the RJ Calendar has been a symbol of RJ Paper's family-like warmth, generosity and grace; an unwavering commitment to the transformative power of paper, print, craft and design. Through the years, the RJ Calendar has been designed by a wonderfully talented and dynamic roster of local creative companies, designers and artists - printed in limited quantities, but shared as openly as possible.

The legacy continues. Reaching beyond what is a printed calendar, we aspire to uplift the hearts and minds of all who receive one. OuterEdit is honoured and grateful to have been entrusted with the 30th Anniversary edition of the RJ Calendar. Continuing this tradition into 2022, we are absolutely thrilled to share this joy with you, and hope that you find as much delight in the calendar as we did in making it.

Marketing Interactive – OCBC ‘dresses-up’ ATMs, turns functional to eye-catching

OCBC Bank has launched a new campaign called "The Great OCBC ATM Dress-Up", which features its ATMs being donned with various decorations. According to OCBC, ATMs are often seen as functional machines for customers to withdraw cash and banks’ messaging on them are a blind spot to customers. As such, it gave some of its ATMs in high-traffic and prominent areas a makeover to highlight some of its products and offers. 

Some of the decorations were beach-themed, movie-themed, and even featured local delicacy "Teochew png kueh" (steamed glutinous rice cake). Its travel-themed ATM design located at Tanah Merah and HarbourFront ferry terminals, was aimed at tying back to the bank’s newly launched OCBC 90°N Card. While the popcorn-themed ATMs, located at Cineleisure Orchard and Shaw Centre, targeted movie-goers. And the Nonya Kueh ATM design was applied at Telok Ayer Food Centre and the Esplanade, which are popular and heritage-inspired locations.

The campaign is done in collaboration with creative agency OuterEdit. Additionally, all OCBC ATMs have a QR code that allows customers to scan with their OCBC Pay Anyone app to withdraw cash....
