In this society we often switch our identities between servers and servees. What do you feel when you’re being served?  Yuan-Liou Publishing Co. once published a book, “How to move your customer”.

Customer servicing is very important strength a brand exhibits in market sales. What it stands for internally is everything the brand embodies: from the sufficiency of hardware equipment to the organization and management of software; from product R&D, completion, complete profit mechanism to corporate culture and style. Every detail has to be in tune, and together they represent the performance one sees. Just like the ballerinas on stage, they endured the tough training from their mentors, they developed great sync with the musicians and they trained day and night just for that perfect moment on stage. You may not

The Group Staff Survey 2010/2011 result (1) gathered Gamanians’ thoughts and opinions about the company, among which the item, ‘customer service’ showed that there is room for improvement regarding managing relationship with internal and external clients. When thinking about how to improve customer satisfactory rate, we should consider both internal and external aspects. If every unit in a company could provide good service, naturally they could provide better products and services to external clients. It is all correlated. If Gamania could commit to customer service on all fronts then we could turn around the bad Gama-reputation that players perceive us.  

With the popularization of mobile devices, you see people toying with their smartphones or tablets during meetings, lunch, watching TV, on the MRT.

There are so many of them, some realistic, and others simplistic. A design that blossoms out of such context, that apparently adapts best to the clean-cut, fast-paced logic of mobile apps, is Flat Design.   What is Flat Design? In simple word,

Commercial videos come from creativity. Creativity is an intangible form: when you think about something that no one has thought of while taking a dump or riding a scooter. That is pure orgasmic for creative personnel! That light bulb of idea flashes and you instantly write down your thoughts. The next day you describe it to your client in shining armor, indulging yourself in clients and colleagues’ applause and admiration (imagining successful proposal in my mind…)   So to talk about the ‘logic’ or ‘meaning’ behind creativity is a contradiction in itself. Can something that flashes into your mind
