Building DreamUs... With Carolyn Chia, General Manager and Shareholder | Building Series Ep8

In this episode of The Building Series, we sit down with Carolyn Chia, the general manager and shareholder of DreamUs, the company behind Singapore’s most iconic indoor parks: Pororo Park, Tayo Station, and SuperPark. Carolyn shares how she pivoted from a marketing career into the world of family entertainment, why she joined the business right after becoming a mother, and how she helped scale DreamUs from a single park into a regional “house of brands.”From adapting Korean and Finnish IPs for local markets to expanding into Indonesia, navigating high-capex operations, and managing teams across borders, this is a candid look at what it really takes to build immersive spaces people love — and keep them fresh in an ever-changing entertainment landscape.A transformation story of DreamUs: creating joy, scaling brands, and building a business of happiness.Special thanks to our sponsor for this episode of The Building Series, OCBC. As Asia’s Best SME Bank, OCBC has been supporting SMEs across the region along their business milestones, getting them ready since day 1, keeping their businesses steady with award-winning solutions, and helping them grow to realise their ambitions.Start a relationship with OCBC: https://www.ocbc.com/business-banking/smes/accounts/business-growth-account?cid=accounts%3ABusinessGrowth%3ATactical%3AAcquisition%3AFeb%3A2025%3Areferrer%3ADNS%3APodcast%3AFollow us on our socials:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DollarsAndSenseSGTelegram: https://t.me/dollarsandsenseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dnssingapore/Listen to our podcasts on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6XkfHXOUXtFWfAWC7q0MwZ?si=c5ce4c58884a4fdbDon’t forget to subscribe to our e-newsletter to receive the latest updates from us: http://bit.ly/DNSxEnewsletter
