This group of companies was started by Andy Davison in 1996 after he left American Express, for whom he had worked all over the world.
It has four basic areas of business:
PRINT MEDIA
Our main publication is The Expat, a monthly magazine, targeting the resident expat community, that was first launched in 1996. It is free to read online, and some printed copies are placed in selected locations and available by subscription.
We also produce two annual guides. The first is the Expat Welcome Guide that aims to assist newly arrived expats in settling into the country. The other is the Expat Education Guide about international education available in Malaysia.
We also offer contract printing and currently produce the membership magazine for the Royal Selangor Golf Club, probably the most prestigious golf club in Malaysia, with many affluent and influential members.
DIGITAL MEDIA
Our most popular website is www.ExpatGo.com , which again primarily targets expats but also has many like-minded Malaysian visitors. It has news and information about living in Malaysia. We offer advertisers display ads, sponsored stories, newsletters, solo emails, and create social media campaigns for them.
We also have a You Tube channel which provides updates about the MM2H visa and information about living in Malaysia. Just search under ‘TEG Media MM2H’.
EVENTS
We organise a number of events from small ones to large scale. These are both for our own account and for clients. We have held major exhibitions as well a number of contests for international schools.
Every month in KL we organise a Mingles event which is held at different food and beverage around the city and includes light food, wine and beer. We periodically have wine dinners, which is a sit-down affair. The Mingles are also held periodically in Johor and in Penang. Once a year in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, we organise WhiskyPLUS, the biggest whisky tasting event in Malaysia with upwards of 60 different brands of whisky available to taste and many more bottles to buy.
We also arrange other events for clients and students at international schools.
MM2H
We have been an approved agent for the Malaysia My Second Home residency visa for over 20 years and have helped hundreds of people acquire it. Our popular website www.mm2h.com has handled thousands of enquiries about the visa and Malaysia. We stay close to English-speaking expats after they relocate here, which gives us a good insight into their views of life in Malaysia and their challenges.
