Question 1

Do you work with TrustFinance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TrustFinance is a direct relationship rather than a reseller arrangement, so client programmes run on preferential commercial terms instead of list rate. What that makes possible depends on the market and the category, which is why it is quoted rather than published.

Question 2

Do you work with WikiFX?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WikiFX is part of the partner network. Licence and regulator presence can be worked on directly, and package structures are built around the campaign rather than bought line by line.

Question 3

And FastBull?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on the same basis. FastBull carries market data and category coverage, and commercial opportunities are available where a campaign fits what the platform actually covers.

Question 4

Why do those three keep coming up?

Accepted Answer

Because in this region they are what a market finds first. Someone searches the name before they read a word of the pitch, and what comes back is the review and licence-check platforms the category is scored on, then whatever the local desks have published. Holding all three directly is the difference between arguing with a search result and being able to do something about it.

Question 5

Do you offer special packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Media, reputation, sponsorship and the three platforms can be structured together as a single programme rather than bought separately. What a package contains is set by the objective and the markets, so it is written after the first conversation rather than picked off a list.

Question 6

Can you help with online reputation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reputation and media are run as one job here, because the second is mostly produced by the first, and Southeast Asia is where the network is deepest. The work covers what a market finds when it checks the name: the platforms the category is scored on, the regional press in its own language, the first page of search from inside the market, and the owned surfaces a partner reaches after the first click.

Question 7

How quickly can reputation work begin?

Accepted Answer

Quickly, once an engagement is confirmed. A contained case in a market we already publish in can show visible movement inside the first weeks. A wider picture across several markets is a programme rather than a fix. It is planned as one, and we will say so at the first call rather than after the invoice.

Question 8

Is anything guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Placements, appearances and inventory are contracted and delivered. Those are commitments. Earned media, search position and sentiment are worked at, reported and adjusted. They are not guaranteed, here or anywhere, and an agency that guarantees them is describing something other than editorial.

Question 9

Can you help with football, celebrities, media or events?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and usually more than one at a time. A shirt or a perimeter board is the first link rather than the product: the same engagement tends to carry the content built around it, the talent that fronts it, and the press and creators that carry it into each market.

Question 10

Can you build something around our specific objective?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A tailored activation is the normal case, not the exception. A single discovery pass sets the market, the claim the brand can defend and the mix of asset, talent and media that gets there, and the programme is written from that.

Question 11

Do we have to be a financial brand?

Accepted Answer

No. Financial services is where the network runs deepest, which is why the site talks about it most, but the same access works for consumer, technology, hospitality and education brands entering the same markets.

Question 12

Can you work alongside our existing agency?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and often that is the cleaner arrangement. We are frequently the access and in-market layer beside an incumbent creative or media agency rather than a replacement for one.

Question 13

Which markets can you work in?

Accepted Answer

Asia, Europe and the Middle East, with the deepest bench in Southeast Asia: Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, plus South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. Editorial is written locally for each desk rather than translated centrally, which is the part that decides whether a release is published or filed.

Question 14

How long before someone replies?

Accepted Answer

Most enquiries are answered within one to two working days. A message that names the company, the markets and the outcome tends to come back faster, because it can be answered rather than acknowledged.

Question 15

What does an engagement cost?

Accepted Answer

It is priced per programme rather than off a rate card. Scope, markets and duration set the number, and it is quoted after one conversation. That first conversation costs nothing, and it is short. Fifteen minutes is usually enough to know whether there is a fit.

Question 16

How long does a campaign take?

Accepted Answer

A single-market entry runs three to five weeks. A multi-market campaign across three to five countries runs five to eight. A full APAC programme built on celebrity or sponsorship production runs eight to sixteen.

Question 17

Who actually does the work?

Accepted Answer

In-market teams. Legend rosters, club and league inventory, Korean entertainment relationships and the regional media network are held directly rather than brokered through a chain of local vendors, which is what keeps one line of accountability from brief to delivery.

Question 18

What do you need from us to start?

Accepted Answer

The company, the markets you are trying to win, and the outcome you need. That is enough to say yes or no honestly on the first call. Anything commercially sensitive can wait until an NDA is in place, which we will sign before it is discussed.
