    A BRIEF HISTORYWalt Disney once said, “You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” And indeed it was for Mantra.Mantra started off as a locally-brewed advertising and design shop. Established in 1998 in the midst of the region’s economic turmoil, we discovered an opportunity in the adversity of the times. More than ever, corporations in the region needed a communications partner that would do the work quickly, affordably and yet maintain the level of quality they have come to expect. Mantra was flexible enough to fill this void. We were lean, mean and hungry.NATURAL SELECTIONOver the years, Mantra has evolved into different areas of competencies falling within our core purpose to create thoughtful brand experiences.Today we are a group of subsidiaries through partnerships and collaboration providing a full suite of brand communication solutions. Mantra Communications handles the traditional brand communication needs of our clientele. Mantra Experiential takes communication on ground via brand activations and event. Mantra Interactive defines online touchpoints specialising in social media. Collectively, Mantra has the capability of providing a total communication strategy.We began our journey answering the needs of clients in Kuala Lumpur. Today, however, Mantra serves customers in a myriad of different geographical locations – our work ending up in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States and of course, here at home in Malaysia.WHAT'S IN A NAMEWhat does Mantra mean? The Sanskrit word “mantra” consists of the root man – “to think” (also in manas “mind”) and the suffix -tra, designating “tools or instruments”, hence a literal translation would be ”instrument of thought”.

    Must have a heart like a stone if you wish to work here.
    The good thingsThis company is more benefits for the extrovert people who really love socializing. Benefits: - Can learn advertising widely - Handle Different Clients - Culture Activities - Good Salary - Free goodies from the client products - Few of good co-workers
    The challengesNot suitable for an introvert people. - No time for yourself to explore creative options as there is always someone come to bother you. its make you loose focus and stressful. - Always rush on the smallest things. - The company does not seem to value or consider employee opinions and feedback, creating a culture where open communication and suggestions are discouraged. This lack of consideration can lead to a disengaged workforce and missed opportunities for improvement. (They always right!) - Works late hours. - Works on weekend. - Toxic environment. They don't like you leave on time. Will gaslighting us afterwards.

    Overall experience my time with Mantra group of companies was positive. I gained valuable skills and experiences that have contributed significantly to my professional growth. I would recommend this company to others seeking employment opportunities.
    The good thingsPositive Aspects: - 1. Supportive Environment: I appreciated the collaborative and supportive work culture that fostered teamwork and professional growth. 2. Learning Opportunities: The training programs and development opportunities were very beneficial for my career advancement. 3. Management: The management team was approachable and receptive to feedback, which created an open and positive work atmosphere.
    The challengesThe most challenging experience I had while working here was time management. This challenge arose due to the frequency of meetings each week, which were time-consuming and affected my productivity. However, it also taught me valuable lessons about more effective work planning and how to navigate similar situations in the future. Additionally, it highlighted areas for improvement that could benefit the organisation moving forward.
