5
content directions a month
Four terms, and no others
A PIECE
The finished thing
One completed, ready-to-publish video or design, with your brand on it. Not a generation attempt.
A DIRECTION
One of five ideas
Matched to your industry, each with a stated objective — enquiries, footfall, launch, repeat purchase.
A REVISION
One round, free
Included per piece, and it doesn't count against your monthly allowance.
NOT THIS
Not social media management
A social media manager runs your accounts. This builds the plan and makes the content.
+ turnaround: three working days per batch — 24 hours is an add-on
What RM 5,000 a month bought
This lays out what one business owner's RM 5,000-a-month marketing agency retainer actually delivered, item by item:
Three attempts, one pattern: nothing was said up front, so nothing could be judged after.
And the deciding doesn't transfer
Hiring someone to produce content doesn't hire someone to decide what it's for.
True of any content producer: production and deciding what the content is for are not the same job. Brief a freelancer or an agency and that second job stays yours.
The one question that decides this
What happens at month's end
This month, a freelancer or agency and OCTIS both produce content, work to a turnaround and deliver something you can publish. The difference only shows up when the month ends:
What their shape prevents
What they do well
A freelancer or agency can produce better-looking creative than a template library — if you already know exactly what you want made.
What their shape can't reach
What their shape doesn't do is decide for you. Briefing is still your job and the objective still has to come from you, every single month. Nobody productises the deciding itself.
Per finished, ready-to-publish piece, once you are on a monthly plan:
No verified Malaysian market rate exists for SME marketing subscriptions — publishing one to fill this slot is the one claim on this page we could not defend.
The RM 1,000 paid for Launch is credited against your first Growth month if you move within that window — a paid trial, not a separate purchase.
RM 0
Charged to leave, and charged to keep what's already been made.
Cancel any month — no minimum term. Which services the published money-back guarantee covers, and up to what point, is set out on the guarantee page; this one runs on cancel-any-month instead.
A different question, then a subscription
Launch is a one-off starter package for brands with no assets yet; Growth and Scale are monthly subscriptions that differ mainly in how many finished pieces you get. Scale is quoted at intake rather than listed — the volume tiers are not fixed yet, and a number we would have to revise is worse than one we ask for.
Launch

Growth

Scale
Quotedat intake
Launch answers a different question — no brand assets yet. Growth and Scale are the subscription, priced per piece as volume goes up.
Language
Bilingual English and Chinese
Output in both, not a translation pass after.

Not a rotating ticket queue.
Industries at launch
Eight categories, chosen where formats repeat across brands
Not listed? Tell us — we'll say honestly whether the library covers you yet.
Not covered
Marketing done by a freelancer or agency is often hard to judge afterward because no objective was set before the work started — without a number to check the outcome against, all that's left is a feeling about whether it worked.
states an objective for every piece before it's made — enquiries, footfall, launch, or repeat purchase — and reports against that objective specifically.
Social media management means someone runs your accounts day to day — posting, replying, scheduling. A content creation service instead builds the plan and produces the finished pieces, which you or your team then publish.
is the second kind: it plans and makes the content, not the account management.
Not really — a template performs best where a format already repeats successfully across brands in the same industry, which is why most template libraries are built around a defined set of categories rather than claiming to fit any business.
's library is built on that basis, and says so honestly if your industry isn't covered yet rather than taking the fee first.
Yes, any month — there's no minimum term, and everything produced up to that point is yours to keep, including from the Launch package, whether or not you continue afterward. This service isn't covered by the published money-back guarantee; the cancel-any-month terms apply instead.
The business doesn't stop when you run out of ideas on a Tuesday.
Tell us your industry once. Five directions arrive next month, each with a stated objective.
