Typical content-marketing services you can buy in Malaysia

• Video production and multimedia (short-form social video, explainers, production).

  Many Malaysian agencies bundle several of these — choose based on the mix you need. (JustSimple.com.my)

Typical budgets / pricing signals (ballpark)

• Small ongoing content programs (1–2 blog posts + social) — often USD 800–3,000+ / month depending on quality and writer rates.
• Mid-market retained programs (multichannel content, SEO, reporting) — commonly USD 3,000–12,000 / month.
• Project-based or campaign work (video series, thought-leadership report) — varies widely; can be a few thousand to tens of thousands USD.
  For accurate quotes, ask agencies for a sample scope and a 3‑month plan — prices vary with language needs (English/Malay/Chinese), production values, and distribution spend. (Use the agency shortlist above to request proposals.) (Clutch.co)

How to pick the right Malaysian content partner (quick checklist)

• Industry experience: ask for case studies in your sector.
• Measurable results: request KPIs they’ve achieved (traffic, leads, conversion uplift).
• Editorial & SEO capability: review writing samples and SEO process.
• Production resources: in-house vs. freelance creators for speed and consistency.
• Language capabilities: whether they can produce Malay / Mandarin content if you need it.
• Reporting cadence & tools: what analytics/dashboard they provide and how often.
• Budget alignment: ask for 3 pricing options (basic, recommended, all‑in).
• References: speak to two recent clients about outcomes and working style.

Suggested next steps (fast path)

1. Narrow to 3 agencies from the shortlist above that match your needs (e.g., Kingdom Digital for creative/video; Catcha/iMedia for publisher distribution; JustSimple or Cleverus for integrated content + SEO). (BlackRevo.com)
2. Send a 1‑page brief: business goals, target audience(s), existing assets, languages required, monthly budget range, and a success metric (e.g., % organic traffic growth or leads).
3. Ask each agency for: 1‑page proposed 3‑month plan, ballpark pricing, 2 relevant case studies, and a client reference.
4. Run a paid pilot (4–8 weeks) if possible — fastest way to validate content quality and results.

If you’d like, I can:

• Build a 1‑page brief template you can send to agencies.
• Shortlist 3–5 agencies from the providers above tailored to your industry, budget and language needs (and include contact links and what to ask each one).
