How We Started

Founded in 1995 by Dr. Millicent Danker, Perception Management Sdn Bhd (PMSB) is a Malaysian boutique Digital Public Relations and Communications Consultancy based in Kuala Lumpur. Our team is dedicated to helping our clients manage their key perceptual assets: Reputation, Image, Identity, Positioning and Brand. These assets are intangible but undeniably valuable. We help our clients narrow the gap that exists between their company's ideal perception, and that held by their key stakeholders.

Specialising in stakeholder relations and strategic communications, we help clients achieve their business goals through winning solutions. With a proven track-record of over 20 years, we continue to support companies in many ways - through integrated communications strategies, corporate responsibility frameworks, content development, media crisis management, media relations, creative concept design and perception stakeholders audits. We help further the agenda of any client, institution or brand to manage reputational and perception issues through proactive, strategic communications and continuous engagement.
