Background
“MLB KOREA, the fastest-growing streetwear brand, offers a comprehensive collection of apparel and accessories for men, women and kids. Their product is a combination of utility and fashion. They optimize style, function, and quality to show how stylish sports apparel could be. MLB KOREA appoints top social media influencers as MLB CREW. They release strong real-life messages. These messages trigger an avalanche of sharing across the internet. By seeing the great opportunity and the growth of the garment sector in Cambodia, MLB chooses to expand its first store here in Cambodia for the purpose of providing stylish and fashionable designed clothes, bags, sneakers, and hats for the new generation. The presence of MLB in Cambodia is highly recognized by famous influencers and fashionistas.”
CHALLENGE
“When MLB launched its first store in Cambodia in 2023 at AEON MALL Mean Chey, the brand initially struggled with visibility and competition in both the offline and online Cambodian marketplace. To address these challenges, they came to us as their marketing experts to align their digital marketing strategy with the Cambodian market. This involves social media content creation, KOL collaborations, community management, and video and livestream production.
As a result of these efforts, MLB experienced a significant increase in customer engagement with both their brand and products. This success enabled them to expand rapidly, opening additional branches at Prince Mall, Sihanoukville, AEON MALL Phnom Penh, and AEON Mall Sen Sok City.”
OUR ROLE
“The company first conducted a social media contents and promotional video analysis to understand custome behavior and preferences. We identified that their target audience primarily engaged with fashion-focused content on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Leveraging this insight, we support them with Khmer New Year activation which includes Store decoration (Photobox, Spinning Wheel, F&B and KOLS collaboration and PR Gifts to KOCs), and seasonal livestream to increase their product sales and promotion while driving more traffic to MLB Cambodia social media platforms.”
