Program 01 · Market launch

Launch in the Philippines like a local, not a tourist.

Breaking into the Philippines takes more than a translated ad and a hopeful press release. We give foreign brands a ready-made launch crew that knows this market because it’s home.

Why the Philippines is different

A market that rewards brands that act local.

The Philippines is one of the most social, most connected and most brand-loyal audiences in Southeast Asia. It is also one of the easiest places to get wrong from a desk overseas.

Why it’s different

Trust is borrowed first

Filipinos buy from brands they trust, and they trust the voices they already follow. A launch that skips local creators, communities and media is a launch nobody hears.

Why it’s different

English is only half the language

Your audience switches between English, Filipino and Taglish mid-sentence. Copy that sounds translated reads as foreign, and foreign reads as “not for me.”

Why it’s different

7,641 islands, many audiences

Metro Manila is not the whole market. Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao each have their own media habits, dialects and buying power. We plan for all three.

Common questions

Do we need our own team in the Philippines?

No. We are your local launch crew, based in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Your team stays focused on the business while we run the launch on the ground.

Which languages do you work in?

English, Filipino and Taglish for the Philippine launch. Our wider team also works in French, German, Japanese and Arabic for brands coordinating with headquarters abroad.

How long does a launch take, and what does it cost?

It depends on your category, channels and how big a splash you want to make. Tell us your goals and we’ll send a bespoke plan with timing and pricing.

What happens after the launch?

Many brands keep us on to grow in the Philippines, or move into our Global Expansion Accelerator to scale across Southeast Asia.
