The esteemed awards ceremony, held on 2nd June 2023 in Kuala Lumpur, brought together leading entrepreneurs and industry experts to recognize and celebrate exceptional business acumen and entrepreneurial excellence. This recognition highlights Adele Chow’s visionary leadership and remarkable contributions to the success and growth of Sevenvault Sdn Bhd.
As an influencer turned entrepreneur, Adele realized her dream at the age of 25 when she founded Sevenvault—a successful social media content marketing company in Malaysia. With a background in mass communication, Adele honed her skills in storytelling and communication, starting her journey as a blogger at 16. Her influencer status earned her fame and recognition in the marketing industry, allowing her to establish collaborations with influencers and connect with brands in Malaysia. Through determination and hard work, Adele climbed the ladder to success, fulfilling her childhood aspirations of being an inspiration to others.
However, Adele faced skepticism when she introduced a new approach to establishing a marketing agency. Undeterred, she persevered and proved her doubters wrong, catapulting Sevenvault to become one of the fastest-growing content marketing companies in Malaysia. Today, she serves as the company’s CEO and continues to inspire and motivate others with her story and work. Adele Chow’s journey from influencer to entrepreneur showcases the power of determination and hard work. Overcoming obstacles, she turned her dream into a thriving business, reminding everyone that perseverance makes anything possible.
With her extensive knowledge, Adele shares her expertise by educating employees on the best techniques for building a strong social media presence and engaging the audience effectively. This competency and strategic business mindset have proven invaluable in the workplace, allowing the company to curate campaigns and select influencers that align well with each brand. By understanding the wants and needs of each brand, Sevenvault has earned the trust of clients, resulting in over 1,000 campaigns and collaborations with more than 5,000 influencers from 2016 to 2023.
As the saying goes, “Good leadership is the key to success”. Adele maintains clear goals and instills a strong determination in her employees, encouraging them not to fear failure but to embrace it as an opportunity for learning and growth. Another admirable quality of Sevenvault is its commitment to providing opportunities for all, from nano influencers to mega influencers and celebrities. Under Adele’s guidance, Sevenvault has flourished, growing from a team of 4 employees to 25. Recognizing the growing market for influencer marketing and the company’s increasing recognition, Adele seized the opportunity to launch two additional entities, Sevenpie and BuildBeings, within just two years. This remarkable achievement has allowed Sevenvault to establish even more connections with influencers across various platforms, leading to a successful expansion into overseas brands targeting Malaysian Audiences.
Sevenvault aims to create a platform that facilitates seamless communication between brands and individuals, allowing them to achieve their respective goals and promote growth. Through effective content creation, companies can easily convey concise brand messages. Sevenvault strives to shape brands’ mindsets, emphasizing the importance of building a strong social media
presence that significantly impacts marketing sales in the future. Despite the company’s impressive growth, Adele remains dedicated to expanding its reach in the coming years.
Hard work pays off, as evident in the satisfaction of numerous clients cultivated by Sevenvault. The fulfillment and contentment derived from helping businesses spread brand awareness are invaluable. The company does this by maximizing brands’ return on investment (ROI) and key performance indicators (KPIs), brand recognition spreads rapidly, gaining popularity in no time. It is remarkable to consider how an individual’s mindset can influence and shape not only their own life but an entire company. Instead of merely striving to attain a goal, Sevenvault believes that individuals should embody the words “I commit to” within themselves. Aspiring entrepreneurs should exhibit resilience and perseverance in the face of life’s obstacles, enabling personal growth and becoming the best versions of themselves.
