Here’s a compact, practical guide to social-media & digital marketing agencies in Malaysia (useful whether you’re hiring, shortlisting, or comparing options).

Recommended agencies (by capability / common use case)

• Exabytes — one‑stop for SMEs (hosting + website + social & search ads). Good if you want integrated infrastructure + ads. (Blackrevo.com)
• Cleverus — performance + SEO focus with paid social and conversion optimisation. Good for ROI-driven social advertising and SEO ties. (Blackrevo.com)
• Locus-T — long-established full‑service agency (SEO, paid media on Google/Meta/TikTok, local search). Good for measurable lead-gen and regional campaigns. (Blackrevo.com)
• Shinjiru — digital infrastructure provider with social media management services; useful if you need hosting + marketing under one roof. (Blackrevo.com)
• Catcha Digital / iMedia (digital publishing network) — publisher & digital media capability for content amplification and native/social placements. Good when you want reach on local high‑traffic properties. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Media Prima Omnia (Media Prima group) — major local media company with digital/social media solutions and media buying across TV + digital. Good for mass‑reach campaigns in Malaysia. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Asia Media Group — transit and digital media specialist for out‑of‑home + digital amplification (adds offline reach to social buys). Useful for omni‑channel campaigns. (en.wikipedia.org)

How to pick the right agency (quick checklist)

• Define goal first: brand awareness, lead generation, e‑commerce sales, influencer amplification, or community management.
• Match scope to agency strength: choose a creative-first agency for storytelling/video (e.g., Kingdom), and a performance/SEO shop for measurable ad ROI (e.g., Cleverus, Locus-T). (Blackrevo.com)
• Check platform expertise: Meta Business Partner / TikTok/Google partner badges matter for ad support and spend scaling.
• Ask for relevant case studies, KPIs, and a proposed 90-day plan (creative examples, target audiences, recommended platforms, estimated CPA/ROAS or CPM).
• Budget fit: small retainer + ad spend suits boutique shops; enterprise briefs need an integrated team and media‑buying capability.
• Local language & cultural fit: Malaysia is multilingual (Malay, English, Chinese); check content localization and local influencer networks.

Typical services to expect

• Content strategy & social creative (short video, reels, carousels)
• Paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn) and campaign optimization
• Influencer marketing and creator partnerships
• Community management & customer response
• Social analytics, dashboarding, and monthly reporting
• Media buying across local publishers / OTT & OOH integration (for larger campaigns). (Blackrevo.com)

Practical next steps

• Shortlist 3 agencies above that match your goal and request: (1) capability deck, (2) two relevant case studies, (3) 90‑day tactical plan, (4) indicative fees/retainer + recommended ad budget.
• If you want, tell me: your campaign goal, monthly ad budget, and target market (Malaysia-wide or specific states/cities) — I can shortlist 3 best matches from the list above and draft a sample brief you can send to them.
