In C Studio: Meta Ads for a Corporate Gifting Brand in Malaysia (2023 Snapshot)
A 2023 snapshot of Meta Ads for In C Studio, a Malaysian corporate and personal gifting brand: seasonal Father's Day and mooncake campaigns, business-buyer targeting and bilingual English and Chinese creative, measured in messaging conversations, leads and landing-page clicks.
The client
In C Studio designs and packs personalised gift sets — corporate gifts for companies and seasonal gifts such as Father's Day sets and Mid-Autumn mooncake boxes — and sells them in Malaysia through its own site and direct enquiries.
The problem
Corporate gifting is bought by a small group of people inside a company, usually close to a date, so the ads had to reach business buyers rather than general gift shoppers and turn interest into a conversation the sales team could quote on.
What we did
- Business-buyer targeting. Malaysian audiences aged 20 to 45 matched on gift and corporate interests, business owners and human-resources specialists — the people who order staff and client gifts.
- Click-to-message and lead forms. B2B campaigns that open a Messenger or WhatsApp conversation, alongside Facebook lead forms for buyers who prefer to leave their details.
- Seasonal pushes. Father's Day and Mid-Autumn mooncake campaigns, with separate B2B and B2C versions of the mooncake campaign.
- Bilingual creative. English and Chinese carousels showing real, customised gift sets, with a clear message or offer button on every ad.
What we delivered
- 4 campaign types run Messaging, lead forms, landing-page traffic and seasonal promotions.
- 2 ad languages English and Chinese creative for the same campaigns.
- 3 business-buyer signals targeted Gift and corporate interests, business owners and HR specialists.

What this means for your corporate gifting brand
The plain-language version. Aimed at business owners and HR teams rather than general shoppers, In C Studio's seasonal and B2B campaigns produced dozens of sales conversations each and hundreds of landing-page visits, with mooncake traffic at three sen a click.
What this says about shakalakaa: we run Meta Ads for small businesses as well as large ones, and build campaigns around the buyer who actually signs off the order.
