About Basis

Asia-first marketing Operators that write in your voice. Built for everyday businesses that need to scale — infrastructure for the average marketer, and for how teams actually ship across APAC.

  • Our mission

    Help marketers across Asia ship on-brand work faster, without prompt chaos or one-size-fits-all channel assumptions.

  • Asia-first by design

    WeChat, RedNote (Xiaohongshu), Douyin, Threads, LINE, KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, social commerce, languages, and cultural calendars, then scale globally.

  • What we build

    Specialized Operators, a chat workspace, jobs that repeat without you in the thread, brand context that travels with every draft, and a scroll-stop loop that rewrites IG Reels and Xiaohongshu until the opener clears.

  • Who we serve

    Everyday businesses that need to scale, and the marketers inside them: performance, content, product, brand, PR, field, and multi-market agencies across APAC.

What we believe

  1. 01

    Execution over novelty

    Drafts you can ship, not another playground that forgets brand rules tomorrow.

  2. 02

    Asia is not a localization pass

    Channel norms, languages, and calendars belong in the brief from day one.

  3. 03

    Infrastructure for the average marketer

    Brand, Operators, and the stats that pick the next job are the operating layer a working marketer runs on. You should not need a prompt engineer or a data team to ship.

  4. 04

    Operators beat one mega-prompt

    Specialists with history beat a single chat that tries to do everything.

Product + agency

A platform you can run yourself, plus agency and consultancy when you need AI creative marketing, strategy, or a team that ships with you. Many use both: Operators for daily drafts, agency and consultancy for the work around them.

Where we’re focused

  • APAC markets first, then global teams with Asia in the mix
  • In-house marketers and agencies who live in briefs and launches
  • Brand-safe speed: volume without voice drift
  • Practical AI, plain-language briefs, not prompt theater

Asia-first

Built for how media works across Asia

Markets fragment by country, privilege WeChat, RedNote, Douyin, Threads, chat and live commerce, and demand cultural precision. Basis is built for that.

Asia runs on different platforms, formats, and funnels. Basis starts there.

One brief. Native variants. Brand locked across languages — not a US master with the currency swapped.

  • WeChat
  • RedNote (Xiaohongshu)
  • Douyin
  • Threads
  • LINE
  • KakaoTalk
  • WhatsApp
  • TikTok
  • Weibo
  • Bilibili
  • Kuaishou
  • Zalo
  • On-voice drafts for WeChat, RedNote, Douyin, LINE, and WhatsApp.
  • Brand that holds across markets — without a rewrite pass.

LINE vs RedNote vs Douyin

Same brief: weekend freeze, dessert drop, four markets.

  • LINE

    Two-line OA broadcast. Tap-to-book. Formality for JP, TW, HK. Sticker-and-share, not a feed caption.

  • RedNote

    Search-led note. Save-worthy steps, ingredients, lifestyle proof. First three seconds have to hold.

  • Douyin

    Mute-first hook in one beat. On-screen text, live-cart CTA. Cold open — not a brand bumper.

Copy by market

The line changes. The offer does not.

Hong Kong is bilingual and dry. Singapore is practical. Japan is restrained. Korea is denser with proof. Operators write the market — they do not translate a HQ deck.

  • Hong Kong

    EN / 繁, dry

    Last seating tonight. 今晚最後一輪 — book before we close the sheet.

  • Singapore

    Practical EN

    Weekend freeze, no queues. Book by Friday 3pm. Delivery from $40.

  • Japan

    です / ます

    数量に限りがあります。ご都合のよいお日にちでご予約ください。

  • Korea

    Proof-dense

Local calendar

The week is not Black Friday with a different flag.

Brief the window and the posture. Operators write gift language for CNY, marketplace packs for 11.11, and the right formality for Hari Raya — not a generic red-sale banner.

  • CNY

    Reunion and gift sets. Skip US-style urgency on 除夕.

  • 11.11 / 12.12

    Ads, PDP, and CRM from one spine. Marketplace cadence.

  • Harbolnas

    Indonesia’s 12.12 — not Black Friday with IDR swapped.

  • Golden Week

    Japan travel and gifting. Unhurried, then precise.

  • Songkran

    Thai New Year window. Courtesy and timing, not a splash sale.

  • Hari Raya

    MY / SG / ID. Greeting first, offer second.

  • Mid-Autumn

    Gift cadence for HK, TW, and Greater China.

  • Diwali

    India and diaspora SEA. Light, family, not a coupon blast.

APAC formats

The unit of work is not “a social post.”

Operators size copy for the surface: WeChat article, RedNote note, Douyin native, LINE OA, WhatsApp catalog, live script, KOL brief.

  • WeChat article / OA
  • RedNote note
  • Douyin native + live script
  • LINE OA broadcast
  • WhatsApp catalog
  • KOL / KOC brief
  • 9:16 mute-first vertical
  • Shopee / Lazada PDP

Tone across languages

One voice. Many formality settings.

Lock avoid lists, claims, and brand posture once. Then shift 繁體 vs 简体, です/ます vs 해요체, Thai particles — without the spine drifting.

  • Locked once

    Tone, claims, avoid list, colours. Every Operator inherits them.

  • Shifts by market

    Formality, script, proof density, CTA heat. Same brand, different mouth.
