Lazada, one of Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce platforms, wanted to scale its app installation and user acquisition across Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Given the sheer diversity of culture, languages, and shopping habits that exist across the five markets, Lazada faced two persistent issues - creative fragmentation and performance variability. In response, we built a TikTok-native, market-specific creative engine, designed to generate volume without sacrificing cultural relevance.
Deep market analysis
We conducted a creative audit across all five markets, identifying the visual codes, content tropes, music preferences, and creators that drive engagement on TikTok.
Building a TikTok-native creative strategy
The market insights were then mapped against TikTok’s platform mechanics to develop a creative framework that felt organic to the For You feed.
Industrialised creative production
We produced a high volume of creative variants for each markets, testing them, and using performance data to continuously refresh them throughout the campaign.
