CIMB and local startup Poptron recently hosted the #ExtraOrdinary Bazaar from 4 to 10 September at Publika Shopping Gallery
The bazaar marks the partnership between CIMB and social commerce platform Poptron to help accelerate the growth of homegrown micro brands.
It featured a range of curated lifestyle brands, paying tribute to our local talent and unique local products in conjunction with Malaysia Day.
There were also special appearances at the launch event including KL’s rap sensation Zamaera, well-known YouTube personality Jenn Chia, as well as other personalities including Sharifah Amani.
The bazaar also featured interactive artistic acts and games, in addition to cultural performances courtesy of Yayasan Hasanah.
According to Poptron CEO Brian Johnson Lowe, the startup wants to celebrate the stories and people behind the beautiful products
Poptron recently launched its social commerce platform, featuring a curated list of 100 local micro and emerging brands spanning seven categories. Many of these micro brands were handpicked because they share ethical and socially conscious aspirations, while others offer natural and eco-friendly products, or artisanal goods that showcase the Malaysian heritage.
"Poptron is about nurturing a community that loves and appreciates emerging brands, beautiful products, and the wonderful creators behind them. It’s such a heartwarming experience to hear their stories and understand the true passion and pride that goes into what they create," said Brian.
"As a social e-commerce platform, we want to inspire meaningful lifestyles so that together, we encourage a society that can collectively amplify positive impact," he added.

The #ExtraNotOrdinary Bazaar was also made possible thanks to CIMB and their newly launched CIMB e Credit Card

Designed to suit the needs of customers' digital-first lifestyle, the CIMB e Credit Card powered by Visa provides extra value for online, e-wallet, contactless, and auto billing transactions. You'll get to enjoy up to 12 times bonus points, as well as extravagant rewards on CIMB eDay, which falls on the 10th of every month.
Truly in the spirit of #KitaJagaKita, CIMB will be continuing its partnership with Poptron even after the #ExtraNotOrdinary Bazaar and help support the 100 curated local micro brands on Poptron.
