IRL Media Plt

About In Real Life

In Real Life (IRL) is a light-hearted site (to be launched this year), focused on articles based off real stories and experiences of other Malaysians. We offer entertaining and insightful accounts of Malaysians and their experiences, and we want everyone who reads these articles to learn from that. Naturally, this platform will be based on crowdsourced content. We are in its infancy and will require an individual who enjoys building and creating alongside with its founders.

Everyone has a story to share. What if you could gather real people and their stories on one platform? These are the collection of Malaysian experiences on just about everything – from what to do before a job interview, to the worst tinder date they’ve ever been on.

Vision

1. We aim to create a site with quality content, crowdsourced by real people and their experiences,

2. We focus on self-help and personal experiences so that anyone who consumes our content will either be entertained, and/or learn something from these accounts.

3. We are honest, funny and straightforward. The idea of the site is to encourage people to share their stories. We believe that everyone can influence anybody to be better, and we want to create a platform that inspires learning through experience through crowdsourcing.

We’re a start-up company that’s looking to build an online media platform. We need full-time interns who can write, interview people, do social media postings, and attend events, etc.
