In 2017, Ejen Ali dreamt big with AirAsia and launched #MisiAspirasiAirAsia to inspire and empower kids to be future leaders of the world. Today, the two commercial giants of Malaysia strengthened their partnership through another collaboration to bring local brands to the world’s stage through OURSHOP, AirAsia’s newly launched e-commerce platform, where Ejen Ali products will be made available to all Ejens worldwide.
The partnership was kicked off at OURSHOP’s first pop-up store in Lot10 Shopping Centre, Bukit Bintang, from 12 December 2019 to 1 January 2020. Best-sellers from Ejen Ali’s wide range of consumer products were on offer, including the stylish scooter, walkie-talkie and the latest line of Back-To-School gear. Limited quantities of the EJEN ALI THE MOVIE Official Comic Book will also be in-store from 31 December 2019 onwards ahead of its release in bookstores nationwide in 2020.
Speaking during the launch event, Datuk Ahmad Izham Omar, Chief Executive Officer of Primeworks Studios, said “Following the success of #MisiAspirasiAirAsia in 2017 and 2018 and with EJEN ALI THE MOVIE still going strong at the box-office, we’re excited to gear up Ejen Ali for another mission with the AirAsia group. We welcome this collaboration with OURSHOP, as it is in line with our mission to bring the Ejen Ali brand beyond Malaysia and into the homes and hearts of our fans across the globe.”
During the launch event, the Ejen Ali and Ejen Alicia character mascots made a special appearance at Meet & Greet sessions to celebrate the end of the decade with a bang amongst fans of Ejen Ali. Quizzes, prize giveaways and the viral song and dance routine, Mamak Maju, was also performed throughout the day. There were also special shopping offers, where Ejen Ali fans and OURSHOP customers can enjoy massive discounts up to 30%, with an additional RM20 coupon rewarded via online purchase (while stocks last).
Lalitha Sivanaser, Chief Executive Officer of OURSHOP mentioned, “We are extremely excited with Media Prima as our official partner. This partnership will see us carrying Ejen Ali merchandise on OURSHOP - an e-commerce marketplace brought to you by AirAsia.com. Ejen Ali has a huge following amongst the AirAsia family segment that would most definitely benefit from the special offers on the merchandise sold via our platform. It is in the heart of our business to showcase local brands to the global stage through OURSHOP, as such fans from all over the world will soon be able to have their favourite Ejen Ali merchandise delivered to their home wherever they may be."
EJEN ALI THE MOVIE reached another milestone recently when it announced a collection of over RM28.5 million at the box office since its theatrical release on 28 November 2019 in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. With the upcoming theatrical release in Indonesia on 1 January 2020, EJEN ALI THE MOVIE is set to break into another ASEAN territory hoping for another massive hit.
Usamah Zaid Yasin, Chief Executive Officer of WAU Animation added, “What a great way to end 2019, after pushing ourselves to bring EJEN ALI THE MOVIE’s production to the finish line, then seeing all the appreciative comments and rave reviews from fans and now to launch yet another collaboration with an award-winning partner like the AirAsia Group. We hope through this collaboration with OURSHOP, we can show the world that not just Ejen Ali, but Malaysia and its home-grown products have arrived and are here to stay!”
EJEN ALI THE MOVIE, powered by Tenaga Nasional Berhad and in partnership with Mydin and Pediasure, is currently screening at 125 locations in Malaysia. The animated feature film follows 12-year-old Ejen Ali, who after being accidentally recruited as a spy has now grown to embrace his role in secret agency Meta Advance Tactical Agency (MATA) to protect the futuristic city of Cyberaya from outside threats. Ali is surprised to discover that he is no longer the only master of the Infinity Retinal Intelligence System (IRIS) gadget since MATA has now upgraded to IRIS Neo for all MATA agents. When the new invention leads Ali to question his place and usefulness to MATA, he is approached by a rogue figure who claims to know about a surprising personal connection to Ali. Risking his loyalty to MATA, Ejen Ali embarks on a thrilling chase to unravel these mysterious links.
