So Now Asia works with
ECOR to implement Circular
Economy models in the ASEAN region
by working on strategic growth planning.
So Now, with our quality storytelling, crafts a common narrative and marketing strategy for ECOR’s global brand that cuts across multiple continents and cultures.
The partnership between So Now Asia and ECOR is soon to bear fruit: the first factory
in Singapore is slated to be built in
Summer of 2019.
During the first quarter of 2018, JTC Commissioned a studio specifically focused on the development of a Masterplan for Industrial Estate Sungei Kadut including a Circular Economy approach.
Together with Ellen MacArthur Foundation's veteran Ken Webster, Sann curated the studio's Circular Economy-related curriculum,
So Now, with its comprehensive experience in Circular Economy, Strategy and Storytelling is the liaison for the ReCirc Singapore consortium.
So Now acts as feet on the ground - identifying emerging trends, exploring possibilities with different stakeholders and communicates high-value opportunities with the cluster to facilitate impactful collaborations between multiple partners.
By collaborating with CIRCO,
So Now is facilitating the
implementation of Circular Economy in
the creative and manufacturing industry.
During three-day workshops, companies and entrepreneurs re-evaluate their design process and develop a new product, service or business model according to circular principles.
So Now is currently working on
exporting the program
internationally.
So Now helped the team from
Sweegers and De Bruijn with its
submission for the Doe & Durf (Do & Dare) Competition in 2016.
With the theme: 'City of the Future, innovation for urban development', the competition prompted engineers to use their creativity, skills and expertise to develop an innovative solution to societal challenges.
So Now guided Sweegers and De Bruijn
in finding a narrative for
this future city.
So Now implemented
circular principles into its existing
business operations, to a
'Products-as-a-Service’ circular economy
model and also repositioned Aqua Assistance by creating a brand story based on trustworthiness, family values and niche expertise.
The incorporation of the 'Products-as-a-Service' model secured a steady revenue stream, boosted the company’s financial bottom line and delivered positive environmental impact.
We worked with Aqua Assistance
from 2011 until 2016.
