Advertising with us
Recommend.my writes regular articles and videos around the topic of home improvement.
These articles and videos are a great opportunity for brands to reach a market of home decision makers in Malaysia.
For example, we recently wrote the article “5 kitchen renovation mistakes to avoid“, and in that article, we included examples of work from local interior design brands.

The same content will also be posted to our social media platforms, primarily Facebook. This allows us to reach our base of followers and beyond.
Recommend.my also produces regular 60 – 90s videos around the topic of home improvement. As part of this video, we showcase footage and/or photos of the work of local brands.
