Marketplace funnels, creators and creative
Three pieces most beauty brands buy from three different suppliers.
Marketplace funnels
Meta video and Collaborative Ads into Shopee and TikTok Shop, with search ads, vouchers and bundles for repeat orders.
KOL and UGC
micro-KOL programmes and creator-handle ads, measured in trial bookings or orders rather than reach.
Creative production
studio video of the product in use, bilingual demos and social content on a fixed rhythm.
One team runs all three, so the creative that wins on Meta is the creative the creators and the store use too.
Product Rules come before the creative
What we build for beauty and wellness groups
Beyond the ads, we build the booking and content systems a brand or salon chain runs on:
- Product and treatment landing pages with mobile booking or checkout for each launch, run as part of performance marketing.
- Instant booking confirmations, location pins and appointment reminders on the WhatsApp Business API, built as part of WhatsApp automation. We built this for Emma Lizs.
- Lead follow-up, CRM updates in the system you already run and outlet-level reports, automated through AI agents and automation.
- Studio video, macro product photography and bilingual demo videos made in-house, through content creation. We shot these for Ruby Cell.
For salon, spa and studio chains
Salon, spa and studio chains buy marketing differently from product brands: each branch needs its own booking flow, while the brand runs one creative calendar.
Our published salon work is Emma Lizs, an anti-ageing salon, where monthly trial leads grew 3.8 times between January 2025 and August 2026.

Large organisations need more than a campaign. They need one accountable team that works across business units, documents its work for procurement, and reports to management.

Where live selling is covered
Live selling on TikTok Shop and Shopee is covered on our live commerce page.
Brands with their own online store as well as marketplaces can read our e-commerce marketing page.
Branch-level booking reports
Branch-level Meta campaigns share one creative system but report trial bookings by branch, so a chain can see which outlets the budget is filling and which need a different offer.
KOL work for studios and salons is measured on booked trials and repeat visits rather than reach, the same way we measure it for fitness studios.
Working with large organisations
- One team across business units. Separate plans and budgets per brand or unit, run by one accountable team so nothing falls between agencies.
- Ready for procurement. A registered Malaysian company (Plixitt Solutions, BRN 003426311-V) with documentation your procurement and legal teams can review, including how personal data is handled under the PDPA.
- A named lead and management reporting. One named lead for your account and reporting written for management, not dashboards for their own sake.
- Reported on the outcome you count. Results are reported on the business outcome your team counts: qualified leads, booked consultations, applications or sales, as each of our case studies states.
- Your other markets, run properly. If your group also operates in Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong or Taiwan, each market gets its own plan and its own pages, never a copy of Malaysia.
Beauty brand marketing for brand owners
This page is for brand owners and marketing heads of skincare, supplement, wellness and studio-chain brands in Malaysia. Their buyer moves between a social feed, a marketplace store and a WhatsApp chat. We plan one funnel across all three and track each sale to the ad or creator behind it.

Frequently asked questions
Which beauty and wellness brands do you work with?
Skincare, supplement and wellness brands, anti-ageing salon chains, and fitness or Pilates studio groups in Malaysia, usually with a marketing lead and a marketplace or outlet network. Our published work in the sector includes Ruby Cell, VellGoood, Emma Lizs and CoreBody Asia.
Do you run Shopee and TikTok Shop campaigns?
Yes. For VellGoood we ran Meta video and Collaborative Ads into the Shopee app alongside Shopee Search and Discovery ads, and monthly Shopee store GMV grew 4.1× from month 1 to month 6.
How do you measure KOL campaigns for a studio or salon chain?
In bookings, not views. For CoreBody Asia, 28 Klang Valley micro-KOLs, in-studio creator events and creator-handle ads lifted first-time trial bookings 4.7× in six months. For Emma Lizs, qualifying lead forms and Click-to-WhatsApp booking lifted monthly trial leads 3.8× (January 2025 to August 2026).
Can you produce the creative as well?
Yes. For Ruby Cell we produced studio video of the mist device in use and bilingual application demos, managed social media and ran a three-stage Meta funnel with WhatsApp closes, reaching a 4.6× Meta return on ad spend over Q1–Q3 2024.
How do you keep product claims within Malaysian rules?
Claims are checked against the NPRA notification and the Ministry of Health advertising rules before a brief or ad goes live, and creators receive the approved claim list in writing.
How is the work priced?
Each programme is scoped after a discovery call, by channels, creator volume and production. We do not publish a rate card.

Do you market salon and spa chains with several branches?
Yes. Each branch gets its own booking destination and audience, the brand keeps one creative calendar, and reporting shows trial bookings by branch. Our published salon case is Emma Lizs, an anti-ageing salon.
