Enter Malaysia
Enter the Malaysian market with creators
Briefing and support are in English and Malay (our team works in English and Malay). Creators work in Malay, English, Mandarin and Tamil.
By the Creamatch Team. Last updated 9 November 2026 (Malaysia time).
In short
To launch in Malaysia with creators, pick one platform, brief in English or Malay, start with a small managed batch of creators and judge the result at day 7 and day 30. Creamatch runs this for brands based anywhere, with prices in Malaysian ringgit (MYR) before 8% SST. You can pay online by international card.
Why use creators to enter Malaysia?
Malaysian shoppers often trust a person they follow more than a brand they have never heard of. For a brand with no local name, a creator lends a face, a language and a first review. Creators also make the content your local ads and TikTok Shop listing need. We do not promise sales; we deliver approved videos and posts you can measure.
How creator marketing works in Malaysia, for brands from outside
What can a brand from outside Malaysia buy?
Starting prices in MYR, before 8% SST, read from our catalogue on 9 November 2026.
| Option | What it is | Good for | Starting price (MYR, before SST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOL packages (managed TikTok videos) | We match and manage creators who post on their own accounts | Awareness and first reviews | KOL Lite RM 1,990 for 12 creators |
| UGC videos | Creators film short videos you use on your own pages and ads | TikTok and Meta ads, product pages | RM 975 for 5 videos (Starter) |
| Threads seeding (Threaders) | Many creators post organic Threads about your product | Early buzz, app and product discovery | RM 3,500 for 50 seeders (Threaders 50) |
| TikTok Shop affiliate | Creators promote your TikTok Shop products | Brands already selling on TikTok Shop | See the affiliate packages |
The final quote follows once the creators are confirmed. For UGC for US and Singapore brands priced in USD or SGD, see Global UGC: it is a separate product, where the videos are made in Malaysia for your own ads and the creators do not post them.
How much does it cost, and in which currency?
We charge in Malaysian ringgit (MYR) only. You pay online by international credit or debit card through Stripe; the charge is in ringgit, so your card issuer converts the amount at its own rate and may add a foreign-transaction fee. We do not price in Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, Korean won, euros or any other currency. Campaigns are paid in full before production starts, and you see the full price before you pay.
Prices on this page are before SST. Malaysian service tax (SST) of 8% is added as a separate line, and it is the same for every buyer whatever the country of the company, because the service is delivered in Malaysia. Check with your own adviser how it applies to you.
For one video from one TikTok creator, the price a brand pays depends on the creator's size: from RM 447 for a nano creator (1K to 10K followers) to RM 2,800 for a macro creator (100K+), before SST.

Which language should the content be in?
Malaysia is multilingual. Malay and English dominate; Mandarin and Tamil are smaller but real. Of the 4,192 approved Malaysian creators on Creamatch on 9 November 2026, 1,564 list Bahasa Malaysia, 1,221 English, 71 Mandarin and 26 Tamil (a creator can list more than one, and many list none). So Mandarin and Tamil creators exist but are limited: ask early. We choose creators by the language of their content, never by ethnicity or religion.
What should you check before you start?
These points catch brands from outside Malaysia out. None of this is legal advice: check with your adviser and the official source for each.
- Food and beverage: if you want to say or imply "halal", find out what certification Malaysia requires, and do not let a creator say it unless it is true. Check with your adviser and the official halal authority.
- Cosmetics and health products: many need a notification with the national regulator before sale in Malaysia. Check with your adviser and the regulator.
- Advertising disclosure: sponsored posts should be clearly marked as ads. Check the current advertising and communications guidance with your adviser.
- Personal data: if you collect Malaysian customers' data, Malaysia's personal data law applies. Check with your adviser.
- TikTok Shop: seller eligibility depends on where your company is registered. Check the official Seller Center.
- Sensitive topics: race, religion and royalty are sensitive in Malaysian public life. We brief creators to avoid them.
When should you launch?
Plan around the calendar. Ramadan 2027 is expected to start around 8 February 2027 and Aidilfitri (Hari Raya) around 10 March 2027; the final dates follow the official moon sighting announced by Malaysia's Keeper of the Rulers' Seal. Chinese New Year 2027 falls on 6 February 2027, just before. Food, beauty and fashion brands often want content live before the season, which means briefing creators in the weeks before, not in the week itself. Our Ramadan packages exist for venue and food campaigns. We do not promise delivery dates: the timeline depends on the brief, product arrival and creator availability.
What results should you expect?
Plan for the middle, not the best case. In campaigns we ran, the median verified TikTok post had 187 views at day 7 (167 posts, 16 campaigns), a Threads post 245 (332 posts, 22 campaigns) and an Instagram post 1,936 (37 posts, 10 campaigns; a small sample). Source: Creamatch campaign data, 9 November 2026. These are medians, not promises, and views are not sales.
How does a campaign work, step by step?
- You send a brief: product, goal, language, must-say and must-not-say points.
- We match approved creators; you confirm the lineup.
- You pay; production starts.
- Creators send scripts and videos; you approve each one.
- Posts go live; we verify them and report views.
Brands outside Malaysia ship samples to creators in Malaysia, or arrange an onsite visit. We do not handle customs or import: ask a logistics adviser.
Frequently asked by foreign brands
Which currency do you charge in?
Malaysian ringgit (MYR) only. The card is charged in MYR and your card issuer converts at its own rate; it may add a foreign-transaction fee. USD and SGD are used only on the Global UGC packages for US and Singapore brands. There is no yen, yuan, won or euro pricing.
Can I pay from overseas?
Yes. You pay online by international credit or debit card through Stripe, in MYR. We do not offer other payment methods.
What invoice do I get?
We issue a tax invoice in MYR with the 8% SST as its own line.
Do I need a Malaysian company?
Ask us about your case. For TikTok Shop, seller eligibility depends on where your company is registered, so check the official Seller Center.
Is there SST?
Yes. Prices are shown before 8% SST, which is added as a separate line for every buyer whatever the country of the company, because the service is delivered in Malaysia. Check with your own adviser how it applies to you.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are requested, not automatic. Our refund page says: approved refunds carry a 1.5% processing fee, a paid campaign refunds the share of creators who have not started, and delivered work is not refunded. For a refund to a foreign card, ask us.
Do you sign contracts with foreign companies?
No special contract is needed. The same standard terms apply to every brand, wherever it is based. Read them on the terms page.
Which languages do you work in?
Briefing and support are in English and Malay (our team works in English and Malay). Creators work in Malay, English, Mandarin and Tamil; Malay and English are the most common, and Mandarin and Tamil creators are fewer, so ask early.
Do you guarantee sales or views?
No. We deliver approved content and report results.
I am a US or Singapore brand: is there something cheaper in USD or SGD?
Global UGC is a separate product for US and Singapore brands: UGC videos made by Malaysian creators for your own ads, priced in USD or SGD. It is not a Malaysian market launch: the creators do not post the videos.
