TSL Media Group’s new office has amphitheatre & client-facing areas
The new office space, located at Level 1 of Chutex Building in Kallang Bahru, features new spaces for collaboration as well as client-facing areas.
It includes the following spaces:
- “City Hall” – an amply sized amphitheatre that seats 50-60 pax
- “Kopitiam” – a multifunctional pantry space that alongside City Hall can be used for coworking, fitness sessions, creators, networking events and panel discussions.
- Phone booths
- Quiet room, for prayers, decompression, or as a mother’s room.
- Two meeting rooms (“Steady” and “Pom Pipi”), which can be combined into a large boardroom. These rooms can also be configured into theatre-style seating for 50
people for screenings and production premieres. - “Lepak” – a recreation room with game consoles and board games that staff can use for cohesions or just to hang out. There is a full-length mirror wall in this
room for dance rehearsals
It was designed to meet the needs of a team primarily consisting of millennials and Gen Zs.

“The dynamics of offices have changed massively in the past few years, with WFH and WFA (work from anywhere) becoming a permanent fixture in our policies”, said Bryan Choo, CEO of TSL Media Group.

“The new space will be able to accommodate our growing team — where staff can work easily beyond their desks with plenty of communal and casual spaces to interact with one another.”
The office setup also includes ergonomic desks from Omnidesk as well as Secretlab chairs.

Launch of TSL Academy to train students & corporates
Along with the new office space, TSL Media Group is also launching its new training arm, TSL Academy.
It’ll include thought leadership, key client education, and training for future generations through workshops and mentorships.
Currently, TSL Academy will focus on the needs of students and corporates.
“As one of the first movers in the new media industry, we have plenty of best practices to share,” said the group’s chief growth officer, Jonathan Seto.
“Whether it is transferring our know-how to the next generation of content creators and strategists, or educating corporates on the best ways to collaborate with this burgeoning pool of influencers, we hope TSL Academy will become an invaluable resource for everyone.”
TSL Media Group now has offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
