We build the tech in-house. Most agencies outsource it.
Malaysia's in-house creative-technology agency. Bespoke brand activations engineered, fabricated, and deployed end-to-end from our KL studio.
Trusted by
Not a digital agency. Not a media buyer.
We build the physical thing a customer walks into: photo booths, gamified installations, sensor-driven walls, projection mapping, AR/VR/XR, bespoke fabrication. We do not run ads, write captions, or buy media.
A creative agency translates a business objective into something a customer experiences. The category splits four ways: advertising agencies, digital agencies, brand-identity studios, and experiential or activation agencies. Most of what Malaysia labels 'creative agency' sits in the first two. Instamedia sits only in the fourth, with the engineering team to back it. If your brief starts with 'we need to be on TikTok this quarter,' call someone else. If it starts with 'we need something the customer is still talking about on Monday morning,' carry on.
One roof. One P&L. No subcontractor chain.
Most agencies brief a subcontractor, who briefs another subcontractor. Three margins stack, the timeline stretches, the idea gets compromised twice. We brought engineering in-house in 2012 and stopped quoting on anyone else's terms. That changes four things.
Speed
Brief Tuesday, engineering Wednesday, fabrication Thursday, build same week. A re-skin ships in two weeks, a bespoke build in four to eight.
Control
The person who built it is on the WhatsApp group at 11pm, not behind an SLA ticket queue. The crew that built it is on site, every time.
Margin honesty
No three subcontractor mark-ups. The budget in scope is the budget in the build. We walk a Bursa-listed bank through it line by line.
14 years of muscle memory
Every brief we ship now sits on top of the 1,624 that came before it. Newer agencies cannot photoshop that into a pitch deck.
A greyscale logo bar tells you nothing. Here's what got built.

Three platforms. One studio.
We do not pitch outside these three because we do not need to.
IN:FRAME™
Our premium photo-booth platform. Specified when a brand needs photo output that looks like the brand, not a rental booth with a logo skinned over it.
- Custom output flows + branded overlays
- CRM hand-off + on-site data capture
- Charlotte Tilbury · Maybank · Shu Uemura
IMX Engine™
Our gamification engine. Runs when the brief needs a custom interactive game built around brand mechanics, leaderboards, sensors, or computer-vision tracking.
- Sensor-driven challenges + live leaderboards
- Multi-station tournaments + AR-overlay games
- JD Sports Pickleball · Tudor · Puma
IMX Bespoke™
Everything that does not fit the other two. Where the brief starts with 'we want something that has not existed before,' and the fabrication bay carries it end-to-end.
- Fabricated installations + set design
- Projection mapping + AR/VR/XR
- Toyota GR · Maybank Tiger Summit
Three briefs. Three builds.
Pickleball smart-sensor wall
A custom-fabricated wall with embedded computer-vision tracking, real-time leaderboards, and a photo-output flow at session close. CV layer written in-house.
Pavilion KL beauty counter
A photo capture experience inside the beauty hall, in a bespoke housing art-directed to drop into the counter, routing captured emails into the loyalty CRM.
Group Awards + Tiger Summit
A fabricated transparent glass booth for the Awards floor, plus a custom karaoke installation as the social anchor of a 1,000-plus attendee summit. Built over six weeks in KL.
The five-step commission
Same process for every brief, regardless of budget tier.
Brief
Objective, venue, audience, date. We send a one-page restatement within 48 hours.
Concept
Creative concept, technical approach, costed scope. We are honest about fit.
Build
Engineering, fabrication, software, QA — all inside the KL studio. Weekly updates.
Deploy
Crew on site from set-up to strike. A named PM throughout. No SLA queue.
Document
Asset library, engagement metrics, data exports, right-cleared for your decks.
Three tiers. Indicative ranges.
Malaysian Ringgit. Final quote scoped to your brief.
A one-off brand activation, launch event, mall pop-up, or corporate function with a photo activation or single gamified installation.
Regional campaign rollouts, multi-city launches, quarter-long mall programming, or a flagship corporate event with integrated builds across formats.
A brand's full year of creative-technology activation, integrated with the marketing calendar. For premium brands and Bursa-listed corporates.
Below RM 15,000 per activation does not produce the kind of build our brand list shipped on. If your budget is sized for a logo-skinned rental, there are vendors who serve that well. We are not one of them.
Four departments, one delivery calendar.
Creative-technology
Fabrication
Engineering
Creative direction & PM
One install. Two deliverables.
The same studio runs our Scope 3 data capture platform — Malaysia and SE Asia's first GHG Protocol-aligned event-capture layer. For brands in an ESG reporting cycle, the activation can carry a primary-data capture layer underneath it.
Every install since 2012 has touched this floor.
Engineering bay, fabrication shop, software team, creative-direction floor, and a meeting space large enough to walk a brand through a pre-event sign-off of the actual build. The difference between seeing the build a week early in a controlled environment, and seeing it for the first time on event day.
Frequently asked
What makes Instamedia different from other creative agencies in Malaysia?
We build the actual installations in our KL studio. Most agencies outsource the technology layer to sub-vendors. Engineering, fabrication, software, and crew all sit under one P&L.
Do you do digital marketing, ads, or social media?
No. No paid media, no social-tile content, no ad buying. We build physical activations and creative-technology installations. We'll work alongside your media agency, not pitch for that scope.
Do you outsource any of the build?
Structural fabrication, embedded software, sensor integration, creative direction, and crewing sit in-house. Specialist line items (large-format print, freight, rigging) come from named long-term vendors.
How much does an engagement cost?
Single activations from RM 15,000. Campaign packages RM 40,000–150,000. Annual retainers from RM 180,000. Scoped to event scale, build complexity, and deployment window.
What is your lead time?
Two to four weeks for a variant on an existing format. Four to eight weeks for a fully bespoke build. Brief us early for tight deadlines and we'll tell you honestly if it holds.
Who owns the IP of the build?
You own the campaign IP — concept, branded assets, campaign-specific flows. We retain the underlying platform IP (IN:FRAME™, IMX Engine™, IMX Bespoke™ engineering). The contract spells it out.
Do you work outside Malaysia?
Yes. We've deployed across Singapore and SE Asia, including Marina Bay Sands and Singapore Expo. The studio is in KL; the crew travels and handles freight, customs, and venue logistics.
Do you handle data capture and sustainability reporting?
Yes. Every install can carry a data capture layer. For ESG reporting cycles, our Scope 3 platform produces GHG Protocol-aligned primary data from the same activation.
