Harith joins the Courts team to celebrate its 28th anniversary in Malaysia.

“We are extremely proud of our 28-year heritage of turning houses into homes, and becoming a trusted one-stop shopping destination for generations of value-conscious Malaysians. The emphasis on value and affordability is the cornerstone of this brand campaign. While we wanted to connect with customers by showcasing real-life experiences that they face day-to-day, we were also mindful not to lose the focus on the price messaging given that our industry is very price-competitive,” said Courts Malaysia CEO Tim Luce.
“The new Courts goes beyond a simple rebranding exercise. Much more than that, it is in everything we do – from the improved product range we are now carrying to our renewed Courts Price Promise, our commitment to customer service and ultimately, to the improved look when you step into a new Courts store. We will only be successful when our customers are able to feel the difference when they interact with our brand.”
Brand ambassador
Courts has also appointed the godfather of Malaysian stand-up comedy Harith Iskander, as the first Courts brand ambassador in 20 years.
He will not only appear in promotional materials and meet customers and fans in Courts stores, but also participate in Courts’ community outreach programme, Rumah Amal Courts, which seeks to provide household necessities to 28 charity homes and families.
“We are delighted to welcome Harith to the Courts family. With his down-to-earth, warm and bubbly personality, he is a local favourite who resonates and connects well with Malaysians, and imbues our brand promise and shopping experience with his appealing humour loved by all,” said Luce.
On his appointment, Harith commented, “My father used to shop in Courts, and as a family man now myself, Courts has become to go-to place for everything I need for my home under one roof. I recently bought a 70-inch flat screen television from Courts and was very taken by the vast selection of products and their prices. I am excited to collaborate with Courts, as I believe the affordability agenda is close to the hearts of locals and this campaign is a heart-warming reassurance that a retailer continues to stay committed to delivering the best value and experience to their customers.”
