Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Homegrown halal quick service restaurant Marrybrown has recently tapped Dentsu Creative Malaysia for the launch of Marrybrown’s Ramadan Riang Ramadan Raya menu, with a bold, bite-sized, storytelling campaign to match the energy of today’s online audiences.
With Raya being a “superbowl” period in Malaysia, Dentsu Creative Malaysia’s campaign for Marrybrown was delivered to let the local homegrown Halal Quick Service Restaurant stand out through a comedic approach.
Inspired by Malaysians’ unwavering love for sambal pedas and the excitement surrounding Ramadan-Raya content, the campaign bucked the trend of emotional, long winded narratives, and instead took a fresh, fast-paced approach in delivering engaging, high-impact content that gets straight to the point.
Blending humour, relatability, and the anticipation of Raya, the campaign features three short episodes, which showcase how Malik, a young working adult who received a good Raya news, that turns into series of excitement. The series is designed to drive engagement across social media, inviting Malaysians to experience ‘pedas tak terkata’ that embraces the thrill of spicy sambal.
Lynn Low, chief marketing officer at Marrybrown, said, “We wanted to tap into the thrill of Ramadan and Raya in a way that feels true to how Malaysians consume content today—short, punchy, and packed with flavor, much like the dishes we’re offering. This campaign is all about celebrating the pedas-loving, story-craving Malaysian spirit, and what better way to do that than with a spicy, limited-time menu that’s as exciting as the season itself? We’re thrilled to have a partner, like Dentsu Creative Malaysia, that understands our audiences and dared to be different.”
Meanwhile, Ahmad Nazril Ibrahim, executive creative director at Dentsu Creative Malaysia, commented, “Ramadan is a time of tradition, but also a time of joy and togetherness. With this campaign, we wanted to take that energy and turn it into snackable, entertaining content that reflects how Malaysians interact today. From playful humour to unexpected twists, every piece of content is crafted to keep audiences engaged while celebrating their love for all things spicy.”
