shakalakaa is the Facebook marketing agency behind lead and sales campaigns for Malaysian brands.
shakalakaa runs Meta Ads for Malaysian brands, starting with pixel and Conversions API signal quality, then testing creative and audiences before scaling budget. Published Meta results include Swiss Thomas, Activ (Respack), Ruby Cell and Sunway Serene 2, at 100–180 leads a month.
Trusted by Malaysian GLCs, listed groups and platforms
Separate plans and budgets per brand or unit, run by one accountable team so nothing falls between agencies.
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.
One named lead for your account and reporting written for management, not dashboards for their own sake.
Results are reported on the business outcome your team counts: qualified leads, booked consultations, applications or sales, as each of our case studies states.
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.
Facebook and Instagram run through the same Meta Ads Manager, the same Pixel, and the same optimisation algorithm — which is why we manage them as one system, not two separate line items.

Large brands and institutions spend enough on Meta that small inefficiencies become large numbers.
"Meta Ads" and "Facebook Ads" describe the same platform — Meta is the company, Facebook and Instagram are the two placements it runs.
Whether you call us a Facebook advertising agency or a Meta Ads agency, the account, the Pixel and the Signal Framework underneath are identical.
Every Meta Ads engagement covers the full structure — prospecting to cold audiences, retargeting to warm ones, and Advantage+ shopping campaigns where the catalogue fits — built on a creative system rather than one-off ad sets, so testing compounds instead of restarting each month.
Meta's native Click-to-WhatsApp Ads (CTWA) objective sends a click straight into a WhatsApp conversation — no website form, no extra step, and near-zero friction for a mobile-first market where Malaysian consumers overwhelmingly prefer to enquire this way.
Instagram ads in Malaysia run through the exact same Meta Ads Manager, Pixel and CAPI setup as Facebook — there is no separate "Instagram agency" system, whatever a listing site implies.
Clinic advertising on Meta carries real compliance boundaries — prohibited before/after formats, restricted outcome claims, and treatment-specific rules under KKM (aesthetic) and MDC (dental) guidelines.
Meta Ads management is scoped and quoted per account — platforms, campaign count, creative production and, for clinics, compliance review.
Meta captures demand you create — interrupting a scroll with an offer someone wasn't actively searching for — while Google Ads captures demand that already exists in someone's search bar.
Review existing account history (if any), define the target cost-per-lead or cost-per-booked-outcome, and map the funnel structure to your category.
Pixel, Conversions API, WhatsApp-tap tracking and offline conversion imports wired up before a single ringgit is spent — so day-one data is trustworthy.
Feed, Stories and Reels-native creative variants built (and, for clinics, compliance-checked) for the specific offer being tested.
Campaigns go live with enough budget and audience size to exit Meta's learning phase within the first 1–2 weeks.
Ongoing creative testing and budget reallocation, reported against cost-per-booked-outcome — not reach or impressions.
Every Meta Ads account runs our Signal Framework: audit the exposure (account and Pixel/CAPI health), rebuild the creative — KKM/MDC-compliant for clinics, checked against the free KKM Ad Checker before it goes live — track the real conversion event, report the benchmark.
One accountable lead, specialists behind it. Media buying, creative and tracking specialists work under one account lead.

What counts as a conversion: Purchase attributed to Meta (Meta Ads Manager, 7-day click / 1-day view), reconciled with the client's storefront and ERP order logs.
Meta Ads for aesthetic clinics fail in two predictable ways in Malaysia: creative that leans on before-and-after imagery and outcome promises the KKM rules restrict, and WhatsApp enquiries Meta cannot see, so the algorithm optimises toward cheap leads instead of patients who turn up.
the Business Manager, ad account, Pixel and page access sit in your company’s name
Pixel plus the Conversions API, and lead forms with qualifier questions
Meta rewards fresh creative, so the account needs a steady supply of new video and static variants.
click-to-WhatsApp campaigns with qualification and booking built in
A Facebook advertising agency Malaysia buyers hire instead of hiring a full-time media buyer is really answering a creative-volume question.

Reach younger, discovery-led audiences Meta doesn't cover as efficiently.
Pair paid social with high-intent search demand for full-funnel coverage.

For national brands on Meta, the work is creative volume and testing discipline across brands, with Conversions API so lead and sales data stays reliable.
Every account runs our Signal Framework: audit the exposure, rebuild the creative, track the real conversion event, report the benchmark.
Meta Ads is scoped against industry, competitive density, close rate, creative cadence and campaign objective — one figure does not fit every business.
Size the budget your economics support with the free break-even CPL calculator and CAC-LTV calculator; a strategy consultation grounds both the ad spend and the management arrangement in your own targets.
As an Instagram marketing agency, we make IG-first creative in-house and test it before budgets scale.
Most Malaysian accounts we run use both, but the right starting weighting depends on your category, price point and sales cycle.
Part of the paid media supercluster: Facebook and Instagram platform hub, including Facebook-specific surfaces (Feed, Marketplace, Groups, Lead Ads). Sits under the performance marketing hub, alongside SEM, Google Ads, TikTok Ads and XHS Ads.
We pair every CTWA campaign with a structured qualification flow, so the conversation itself pre-screens the lead before it reaches your team.
Campaigns run in your own ad accounts, so admin access, pixel data and the creative library stay yours. Reporting ties spend to leads and revenue on a cadence agreed at kickoff, and multi-market programmes across Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan run as one plan.
That covers Meta ads management for groups searching for a Facebook ads agency Malaysia or a Facebook advertising agency Malaysia teams can audit, with Instagram advertising Malaysia buyers see first on mobile.
What differs between agencies is ownership, tracking, creative and follow-up.
We fix both. A compliant creative library carries the persuasion (practitioner credibility, treatment education, the clinic environment), and the wa.me click is tracked with booked, attended consultations fed back as offline conversions.
That is the rebuild behind our Klang Valley case study: cost per lead down 46%, show-rate from 41% to 63%. Channel detail is in Meta Ads for aesthetic clinics; the full programme is aesthetic clinic marketing.
Yes — Meta is the parent company that owns Facebook and Instagram, and "Meta Ads" and "Facebook Ads" refer to the same Ads Manager, Pixel and campaign infrastructure.
We're a Meta Ads agency (also searched as a Facebook Ads agency or Facebook advertising agency) running both platforms as one connected system, not separate accounts.
Management is scoped and quoted per account, based on platforms, campaign count, creative production and — for regulated categories like clinics — compliance review. Ad spend is always billed separately, directly to Meta. Our Facebook Ads cost breakdown covers market-wide CPM and CPL benchmarks.
There is no single right starting budget. It depends on your category, your lead value and how many conversions Meta needs each week to optimise. We size the starting budget with you during onboarding, against your own targets, rather than applying a fixed minimum.
Leads typically start within 1–2 weeks, but the algorithm needs 2–4 weeks of consistent conversion data to fully optimise. We recommend committing to a minimum three-month window before judging performance, since the first month is largely a learning and testing period.
Watch frequency during this window too — check where your account sits with the free Ad Frequency & Audience Saturation Calculator before assuming a dip in results means the creative stopped working.
Click-to-WhatsApp Ads (CTWA) send a click straight into a WhatsApp conversation instead of a website form — matching how Malaysian consumers actually prefer to enquire.
We pair CTWA with a qualification flow and feed the booked-and-attended outcome back to Meta as an offline conversion, so the algorithm learns from what really happened, not just the click.
The Pixel tracks conversions from the browser; the Conversions API (CAPI) sends the same events server-side, bypassing iOS tracking restrictions and ad blockers.
Since iOS 14.5, pixel-only setups under-report a meaningful share of real conversions. We install both as standard, plus offline conversion imports for WhatsApp and phone leads that never touch a pixel at all.
Yes — Instagram placements (feed, Stories, Reels) can be prioritised or run in isolation within the same Meta Ads Manager campaign structure.
Whether that's the right call depends on your audience and creative; visually-led categories like aesthetic clinics, interior design and F&B often skew IG-heavy, while others perform better blended across both placements.
Yes, with the right creative review process. Meta ad copy and creative for clinics must avoid prohibited claims, before/after imagery restrictions and specific treatment-outcome language under KKM and MDC guidelines. We build every clinic creative against our compliance checklist and the free KKM Ad Checker tool before it goes live.
Yes, through our dedicated Singapore social media marketing programme — Singapore campaigns get their own creative, budget and lead-form-vs-CTWA strategy rather than a Malaysian account copied across the border.
Lead Ads capture a form fill inside Facebook itself, without leaving the app — lower friction, so a lower cost per raw lead, but typically a lower qualified rate than a dedicated landing page since less context is shown before the ask.
They tend to work better for simple, low-consideration offers; a landing page tends to win on cost per qualified lead for higher-consideration categories.
Both, depending on the account. Groups can carry paid reach via Meta's ad placements, and separately function as an owned community and retention channel — a real, under-used surface for Malaysian B2B and local-service businesses specifically, distinct from anything Instagram offers.
"Facebook marketing" is often used broadly to include organic posting, community management and page growth alongside paid ads. "Facebook advertising" (what this service covers) is specifically the paid side — Meta Ads Manager campaigns targeting cold and warm audiences.
If you also need organic content and posting cadence managed, see the social media marketing service, which covers both layers together.
Results are reported on the business outcome your team counts: qualified leads, booked consultations, applications or sales, as each of our case studies states. One named lead owns your account, and the reporting is written for management, not dashboards for their own sake.
Yes. A common split is that your in-house team owns strategy, budgets and approvals, and we run the build, testing and reporting on the channels we are given. Where another agency holds other channels, each scope is agreed up front so nothing falls between agencies.
Yes. Each brand or outlet keeps its own ad account, Conversions API events and report, and the group gets one monthly management summary. shakalakaa is a registered vendor of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and a direct vendor of UEM Edgenta Berhad, and contracts are with Plixitt Solutions (BRN 003426311-V).
