Manufacturing PMI rose 1.8 points in February 2011

After retreating for the last two months, manufacturing PMI rose to 52.3.

According to OCBC, PMI was boosted by the pick-up in new export orders (+1 point to 51.1 into expansion territory again), as well as higher overall new orders, production and inventory gauges. The employment and order backlog gauge also both crossed back into expansion territory at 52.5 (+3.1 points) and 54.1 (+6.1 points) respectively, while the input price index surged 2.1 points to 54.7.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
