The inception

The inception of ADV Research and Consultancy (ADVRC) can be traced back to 2015 when the current Managing Director assumed the role of a freelance research consultant. In this capacity, the director extended support to postgraduate students, lecturers, and research teams, offering assistance with their scientific inquiries. Subsequently, in 2018, a pivotal encounter occurred between the Managing Director and the co-founder of ADVRC, who was then a Professor at the Kuliyyah of Information and Technology at the International Islamic University (IIUM). During this period, the Managing Director played a crucial role in providing qualitative and quantitative data analysis training sessions to the Professor's research team.

The collaborative vision for future research and consultation efforts persisted between the Managing Director and the co-founder, even beyond the latter's retirement. This vision materialized in 2022, when the co-founder approached the Managing Director to establish what is now recognized as ADV Research and Consultancy. While the formal inauguration of the establishment occurred in 2022, it is important to acknowledge that the roots of ADVRC trace back to 2015. Since its inception, the Managing Director and co-founder have collectively assisted numerous individuals and institutions in navigating and addressing their scientific inquiries.

Our Logo

A logo is a visual representation of a company's identity and values. It serves as a symbol for customers to recognize and remember a brand, making it an essential element of a company's marketing strategy. A well-designed logo can convey a company's message and differentiate it from competitors. Introducing our main ADVRC logo.

Our main logo comprises five elements—the globe, the data stream, the main ADV text, the RC subtext, and the navy blue colour. The globe represents our planet earth—flora and fauna, a place where we all live and ought to protect for future generations. The globe is made up of the data stream pattern—which represents the knowledge within the biosphere, tangible and intangible that keeps on changing from time to time. The main text ADV is an acronym for advanced, data-driven, and valid—our motto. The subtext RC represents our main services—research and consultancy, and last but not least, the navy blue colour represents the ocean, a representation of the abundance of knowledge and mysteries, ready to be unfolded and explored.
