FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to launch across APAC?

We often sequence markets rather than launching everywhere at once. Each market starts with a short foundation or learning phase, followed by phased launch and optimisation, with learnings carried from one market to the next. We can, of course, launch all markets at once if required too.

Do you work with brands that aren't in the region yet?

Yes. About a third of our engagements are launching global brands into APAC for the first time.

What countries or markets can the Kindred team support?

We have have team members in Hong Kong (regional HQ), Japan, Korea, South East Asia and Australia. We have long-term in-market partners in Greater China, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, and New Zealand.

The distinction is invisible from your side. Every engagement runs under one regional governance model: one quality bar, one accountable contract holder, one reporting cadence, regardless of which markets are in scope.

Which platforms matter most across Asia Pacific?

Different platforms in every market and also dependent on the target audience too. In addition to global platforms, Yahoo! Japan and LINE are popular in Japan, Naver and Kakao are popular in South Korea, WeChat, Baidu and RedNote in China, Shopee, LINE and Grab across SEA.
