Hello! I’m SY, a video intern at nOm! One of my most memorable experiences with nOm so far has been my very first shoot. It was for Kakak Marlina and her community fridge initiative. That shoot really set the tone for the rest of my internship, giving me a glimpse into the meaningful and engaging content that nOm creates. Hearing about Kakak Marlina’s struggles as a single mom deeply resonated with me, and learning how she became committed to giving back to her community as soon as she was able was incredibly inspiring and touching. I remember leaving that shoot feeling profoundly fulfilled and with a renewed sense of purpose. In my own small way, I felt like I was contributing to the community too. Paired with her emotional reaction to the food, this experience has truly stayed with me, and I’m excited to create more unforgettable memories here at nOm. https://lnkd.in/dpKfRhr6 #whyogs #interninsight #nomies

Our Grandfather Story (OGS) reposted this
Is it okay to dream about #work, even if you love your job? Maybe? The fact is, because work is such a huge part of adult life, it inevitably creeps into our rest, too, no matter what our Do Not Disturb hours are. And this makes work-life separation incredibly difficult for those who strive for it. Good #sleep is great for everyone, even the companies that employ us. But instead of trying to drown it out with white noise machines and pre-sleep meditation, perhaps something needs to change at work, too?

Hi there! I’m ST, an intern from OGS! This week, I have been asked to share a LinkedIn post to keep OGS on your radar! Since storytelling is at the heart of what we do, I thought it would be fun to share my own #WhyOGS story with you. As predictable as it might sound, I applied to OGS precisely because of their reputation for storytelling! My interest in storytelling began during a school module where I was introduced to data-driven storytelling projects by Jonathan J. Harris and Marrisa Korda. These projects helped me understand that data storytelling isn’t limited to just numbers and statistics; it can also encompass personal experiences and narratives. This sparked my interest in exploring different and creative ways to tell stories, ultimately leading me to discover Ribbit.FYI, OGS and Sincerely Singles. What fascinates me about storytelling is its ability to capture the essence of humanity—whether through people’s dedication to their passions or the ways love brings us together during tough times. The stories shared not only taught me lessons I wouldn't have learned otherwise, but they also provided comfort, reassuring me that I’m not alone in my feelings. Hence, being part of a team that enables others to share their stories feels meaningful and rewarding. It gives them a voice and helps them feel appreciated and seen. It’s a true privilege to be part of the team creating this content 🌟 Thank you for taking the time to read my story! Here are some of my favourite content pieces from: OGS: https://lnkd.in/gv_5X-Yd Ribbit.FYI: https://lnkd.in/gQFsfPrM Sincerely Singles: https://lnkd.in/g-svjscj #InternInsights #WhyWeTellStories #Excited

Behind every video are hours of hard work and a dedicated team — even for a short reel! Here's a look behind the scenes at one of our recent videos with Minister Edwin Tong SC! The day kicked off bright and early, with half the team heading to Kallang to see off Team Singapore athletes for their celebratory open-top bus parade! Meanwhile, back at the studio, the rest of us were busy setting up and preparing for the next part in our kitchen studio. Watch the full reel here: https://lnkd.in/gpdnVuUA P.S. No ayam masak merah went to waste! All colleagues in office were in for a hearty (and healthy) treat that day. #TeamSingapore #BehindTheScenes #KallangAlive Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY)

Congratulations to all our athletes who competed in the Olympics and Paralympics! Making it to the Olympics and Paralympics is a remarkable accomplishment, and you’ve done us all proud ❤️ ! Feeling a bit of the post-Olympics and Paralympics blues? Don't worry because we've got something for you! Have you heard about the Special Olympics? Just like the Olympics and Paralympics, the Special Olympics happens once every 4 years, but what sets the Special Olympics apart is that it focuses on showcasing the talents of athletes with intellectual disabilities! Watch their remarkable journey here: Part 1: https://lnkd.in/gjdmBiCS Part 2: https://lnkd.in/gN_Zw9Q2 #WhatInspiresMe #TeamSingapore #Paralympics

Thank you Ministry of Defence of Singapore for giving us a taste of life on land, air and sea! 🫡 🫡🫡
Had the exact same reaction as Kimberly Anne Tan when the Army team told me we were going outfield 🫡🫠🫨 … but it turned out to be an experience of a lifetime! (I gotta admit, it’s quite cool to say I’ve experienced a tad bit of NS as a girl) The team at Our Grandfather Story (OGS) worked on a series of 4 videos with Ministry of Defence of Singapore — to showcase experiences with Our Singapore Army, Navy and the RSAF for the 2024 #SAFDay award recognition. It took a village to make this campaign a huge success, with all 4 videos totalling up to more than 600k views and counting! With our warmest appreciation, thank you Ministry of Defence of Singapore (along with 24SA, 30SCE, RSS Indomitable & RSAF 120SQN), So Drama! Entertainment for making this special once-in-lifetime experience happen for all our UNFOLD creators and the OGS team. We had a blast! We took home many applicable and relevant life-lessons, like the importance of a discipline mind, agility, critical thinking and more. Also, a shoutout to all our profiles who were nothing short of amazing! 🙌🏼 Not too forget, one of the core memories was chatting over a business meeting for 4hrs in the middle of the jungle with Ministry of Defence of Singapore Michelle Chua Boon Hui Lim & team, with mozzies and water as our best friends. 🫡 Catch the full videos on Our Grandfather Story (OGS) socials (TT / IG) below! https://lnkd.in/gTpg8TSg https://lnkd.in/g_W63_jx https://lnkd.in/gysaJcCJ https://lnkd.in/gDB3aj9B

“I’m working late.. cause I’m a singerrrr....” sound familiar? Well there might be a reason for that! Fun fact: did you know that there are over 900 playlists designed just for commuting? Some of us are guilty of plugging and shutting the world out during our daily commute but have you ever wondered why?
Why write a story about commute playlists? Because there are 989 playlists specifically designed for the commute on Spotify, and we wanted to find out why. (Yes, we counted) Our commutes are rarely enjoyable, if at all. From overly chatty drivers and fellow passengers with no concept of personal space, to screeching brakes and music played out loud on phones, many things can make our last shred of "alone time" before work worse than it has to be. Which is why music has come in as a great lifesaver. In fact, a study we found discovered that much like it's being used in films, we also use music to set the tone and mood for our daily lives—especially during the journeys we take from place to place! So if you're someone that has to plug in on the train or bus in order to make it through the day, we'd love to get some album #recommendations below! #RibbitFYI #DataStorytelling #urbantravel #commutelife #music #psychology
