Perspective Strategies

What Perspective Strategies does

Perspective Strategies is a privately held boutique public relations and strategic communications consultancy founded in 2006 by Andy See Teong Leng and headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. The firm operates across four practice areas — Strategy & Sustainability, Public Affairs, Corporate, and Brands — supported by four service pillars: Public Relations & Strategic Communications, Digital Communications, Thought Leadership & Research, and Capabilities Building. It serves enterprise and government clients that include multinational corporations (PETRONAS, Meta, FedEx, Nestlé, Reckitt, MAGGI, F&N, Abbott), Malaysian government-linked companies and agencies (Tenaga Nasional, Bank Negara Malaysia, PR1MA, East Coast Economic Region Development Council), and select NGOs such as Women's Aid Organisation.

The firm generates revenue through professional-services consulting engagements with enterprise and government clients, structured as quote-based retainers typical of boutique PR agencies. Its distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with cross-border referrals from its exclusive Malaysian partnership in the Public Relations Global Network, a network of approximately 1,000 professionals across 55+ locations in 33 countries. The firm has extended its service offering through two sub-brands: P³, a strategic and creative arm launched in November 2024 that provides brand visual strategy, experience design, employee engagement and sustainability consultancy under Director Matthew Mendelsohn; and the Communications Leadership Academy, a capabilities-building and training arm launched in 2023. It also operates as the Malaysian regional partner of the Global ESG Monitor and a member of the United Nations Global Compact Network Malaysia & Brunei.

Perspective Strategies has accumulated an industry-leading award track record, including five PRCA Malaysia Campaign of the Year awards and multiple PRGN Best Practice Awards across 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. Founder Andy See Teong Leng became the first Asian and Malaysian President of PRGN in May 2023, subsequently transitioning to Immediate Past-President and chair of PRGN's Advisory Board. The firm is privately held with no external institutional investment, no parent company, and operates as an independent partnership with approximately 20 staff including founder-partners, directors, consultants, and administrative support.
