Why Native

Ads That Read Like The Page Around Them

Native ads take the format of the site they appear on, such as a sponsored article on a news site or a recommended story under an article, labelled as sponsored. Readers choose them the way they choose any article, by the headline and the image. Primal plans native advertising in Malaysia around the questions your buyers ask, writes headlines and articles that answer them, and sends readers to a page with a clear next step.

Native Ads For Readers In Malaysia

Primal Malaysia works from Mercu 2 in KL Eco City, with 15 people in Malaysia. We write native headlines and sponsored articles in English and Bahasa Malaysia where your buyers read both, and target placements by state or city, so spend goes to readers in the places you serve.

FAQ

Your Native Advertising Questions Answered

Is native advertising worth it for a business in Malaysia?

Native advertising is worth it when your buyers research before they decide, and an article can answer their questions better than a short ad. It suits considered purchases such as property, education, finance and healthcare. It is judged on what readers do after the click, so we report enquiries beside clicks.

How do I choose a native ads agency?

Ask who writes the articles and headlines, how the agency tests them, whether reports show results by publisher and by headline, and how enquiries from native readers are tracked on your site.

Are native ads labelled as advertising?

Yes. Sponsored articles and recommended content carry a sponsored or advertisement label set by the publisher or the ad network. We write the copy to be useful to the reader with that label in place.

How long until native advertising shows results?

Clicks start as soon as the placements are approved. Finding the headlines, images and publishers that bring enquiries usually takes several weeks of tests, and a steady cost per enquiry usually takes a few months.

Can native ads run with our search and social campaigns?

Yes. Readers who clicked a native ad can be shown remarketing ads on Google and Meta, and Primal plans native, search and social advertising on one budget and one report.
