A 17-year entrepreneurial journey

Entrepreneurial spirit that built Asia's first global newswire
Jennifer founded Media OutReach Newswire in 2009 to build what the industry lacked – a global newswire born in Asia – becoming the first woman to found a global newswire, and has continued to redefine the PR industry through industry-first innovations, from the digital era to the age of AI.

Purpose that turns business success into shared opportunity
Her mission since day one has been to help Asian brands authentically build their reputation in global markets, leading with a social enterprise mindset that creates opportunity for clients, the PR community and her team. Giving back has always been close to her heart. She provides pro bono press release distribution to help NGOs and community initiatives amplify their impact, while supporting children, marginalised communities and animal welfare.

Growth that promotes Asian excellence worldwide
Today, Media OutReach Newswire connects brands with 200,000+ journalists and editors and 70,000+ media titles across 190+ countries and territories, with targeted distribution across 500+ trade categories, alongside 1,500+ media partnerships and offices in eight Asian markets, including Malaysia.

Impact is redefining PR for the AI era
Trusted by thousands of agencies, corporations, governments and SMEs, the company has repeatedly set industry standards – most recently becoming a fully AI-enabled newswire in 2026. Media OutReach Newswire connects clients' news with journalists and enables the news to be cited by AI, helping build brand trust, increase AI visibility, and maximise PR impact.

Media OutReach Newswire's next phase of growth is anchored in three pillars: AI innovation, people and social impact. The company uses AI to innovate its services and workflows for clients and staff, invests in its team, and funds community projects for children and animals.

"Seventeen years ago, I set out to build Asia Pacific's first global newswire so that Asian brands could tell their stories to the world," said Jennifer Kok, Founder and CEO of Media OutReach Newswire.

"To be named a Top Nominee in the award's 25th year in Malaysia is an honour I share with our team, media partners and clients. Entrepreneurship, to me, has never been just about business. It is about creating opportunities, empowering the PR industry, investing in people and using what you build to help others succeed. Our vision is to help Asian brands to achieve global communications success."

• Special Audi R26 livery combines a Singapore-specific interpretation of Titanium Silver Grey, inspired by the city's changing light, with a Traditional Peranakan Pattern
• Exclusive adidas collection brings the Singapore visual identity to fans around the world and is available at store.audif1.com
• Fans can reveal the livery online, collect a digital team card and enter a prize draw for a VIP trip to the Las Vegas Grand Prix

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 October 2026 - Audi Revolut F1 Team has unveiled a special livery designed by Audi and an exclusive limited-edition adidas capsule collection for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix. The reveal builds on "The Art of Influence," a 360-degree programme that brings Formula 1 closer to people through experiences across Singapore and online. From city activations and a digital hub for fans worldwide to the Audi R26 livery, specially designed driver race suits and fan wear, a shared Singapore-inspired identity runs throughout the programme. The livery and adidas collection bring this concept further to life on track and beyond the circuit.

Win A Trip To Las Vegas As Audi Revolut F1 Team Reveals Singapore Special Livery And Exclusive Adidas Capsule Collection

Created by Audi for the team's first Formula 1 night race, the Audi R26 design combines a Singapore-specific interpretation of Titanium Silver Grey with a Traditional Peranakan Pattern. Fans can discover the livery through an online reveal on audif1.com while the collection is available now at store.audif1.com.

Fans in Singapore and around the world can take part by revealing the special livery online and unlocking a digital team card through the team's digital hub. Each unlocked card provides one entry into the prize draw for a trip for one winner and a companion to attend the Las Vegas Grand Prix as VIP guests of Audi Revolut F1 Team.

Inspired by the city's light, culture and communities, the activities are part of a broader programme for the race weekend including a community run by adidas and World of Hyatt, a pop up by Audi and adidas at Funan Mall and collaborations with gelato store Birds of Paradise and bakery Burnt Ends at the Audi House of Progress. The design work is the latest element of Audi Revolut F1 Team's mission which started in Melbourne in March to work with our partners and bring Formula 1 closer to people beyond the circuit and into our everyday lives.

A LIVERY SHAPED BY SINGAPORE

Singapore's transition from daylight to twilight and illuminated night provided the starting point for Audi's livery design. Audi developed a distinct shade from its Titanium Silver Grey for the occasion, with a blue shimmer inspired by the city's lights and reflections. Under the circuit's floodlights, the colour gains depth and changes in appearance as the R26 moves through its surroundings.

The Traditional Peranakan Pattern adds a cultural and graphic layer. Applied to the rear wing and sidepods, it brings a visible reference to Singapore's heritage while retaining the straight geometric cuts of the team's established race livery. Together, the colour and pattern translate influences from the host city into an Audi design for the night race. The same visual language extends to specially designed race suits worn by Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto throughout the race weekend.

The new Audi RS 5 will also make its Asian premiere in Singapore with a corresponding colour treatment. The related approaches create a visual connection between the R26 on the circuit and the RS 5 on the road.

AN EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION WITH ADIDA

Official Team Partner adidas has translated elements of the Singapore visual identity into an exclusive capsule collection. It features the official cap worn by Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto during the Grand Prix weekend, alongside a graphic T-shirt, sweatshirt and special edition Adilette comfort slides.

The collection gives fans wherever they are watching a way to share in the team's first night race. It is available now at store.audif1.com with seamless checkout powered by Revolut Pay.

Stefano Battiston, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer, Audi Revolut F1 Team: "Bringing Formula 1 to the people means giving fans more ways to feel part of the team, wherever they are. Singapore shows how we can do that through one connected idea. Audi's special livery expresses our brand through a design shaped by the city, and fans around the world can discover it for themselves through the online reveal. With the adidas collection and experiences across Singapore, that story continues beyond the race car. 'The Art of Influence' invites people to engage with the team in ways that are meaningful to them, whether they are here in the city or following from home."
