Capacity Building

Branding And Digital Marketing Upskilling.

When SDEC brought us to Puncak Borneo and Lubok Antu for a series of capacity building workshops, the focus was clear: empower local entrepreneurs with tools that are practical, relevant, and sustainable.

Working closely with the communities, we delivered hands-on training in branding, digital marketing, packaging, and e-commerce - breaking down complex ideas into accessible knowledge they could immediately apply. Beyond training, we also collaborated with participants to develop their packaging labels, ensuring their products were not only functional, but visually confident and market-ready.

The workshops were built on exchange: listening first, understanding local contexts, and co-creating solutions that respect identity while strengthening commercial potential. This wasn’t just about skills transfer, but about building confidence to show up in today’s digital marketplace with clarity and pride.
