Headline: We get your brand onto the channels Korean and Asian shoppers actually buy from — TV home shopping, live commerce, and creator-led group buying. One partner, full execution, on the ground in Seoul. Who this is for - Consumer brands ready to enter Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, or Southeast Asia — beauty, fashion, food, wellness, lifestyle, baby, tech, accessories, home goods, and more - D2C founders who've validated in their home market and want a real foothold in Asia — not just paid ads - International agencies needing a vetted Korea/Asia execution partner - Brands that want to ride the K-content wave but don't know where to plug in What Brivva does 1. Korean Home Shopping Entry — TV Home Shopping + Mobile Live Commerce (CJ ONSTYLE, Lotte Homeshopping, GS Shop) Direct partnerships with Korea's top three home shopping networks. We get you onto both their TV broadcast slots and their mobile live commerce channels — running both together is what maximizes revenue. We handle buyer introductions, product-fit assessment, pricing and MOQ negotiation, broadcast production, hosting, and post-sale logistics. Home shopping is still the highest-trust retail channel in Korea — getting in is hard, and getting in well requires a partner who already has the relationships. 2. Live Commerce Operations — Naver Shopping Live, Kakao Shopping, TikTok Shop, Shopee, Douyin, Amazon Live, and more End-to-end live commerce: script, host, set design, broadcast, real-time chat moderation, and post-live content edit. Our production team comes from CJ, Lotte, GS, and Korean entertainment — your live looks and feels like a Korean show, because that's what converts Asian audiences. 3. Influencer Group Buying (공구 / "Gong-gu") — the real engine of Asian commerce This is what most Western brands miss. In Korea and across Asia, the highest-converting commerce isn't an ad or even a sponsored post — it's when a trusted creator runs a limited-time group-purchase event with their community. Their followers buy together, at a special price, in a tight window. Conversion rates routinely beat paid social by 5–10x because the trust is already built. We run the full cycle: - Match your brand to the right creator (audience fit, category fit, past conversion data) - Negotiate the deal and contract - Design the campaign offer and creative - Run the live event and community push - Report performance and plan the next round Markets covered: Korea, China, Southeast Asia, North America, and Latin America. 4. Community Building — so the selling doesn't stop when the campaign ends We build the fan layer underneath your brand: review seeding, UGC programs, fan groups, and creator-to-creator collaborations. This is what makes Asian commerce compound — your community keeps converting new buyers months after the original campaign. 5. AI Content Repurposing — shoot once, sell in every market Every live commerce broadcast and influencer UGC we produce gets transformed — through AI lip-sync and multilingual translation — into native-feeling content for other markets. A live we ran in Korea becomes short-form content (TikTok, Shorts, Reels) and ad creative for Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and North America. Production cost drops by ~80% vs. shooting fresh in each market, and your reach expands by 10x. Build one strong asset, run it across every market you care about. Why Brivva - Direct partnerships: CJ ONSTYLE, Lotte Homeshopping, GS Shop - Influencer network: vetted creators across Korea, China, Southeast Asia, North America, and Latin America - Team: Korean home shopping veterans + K-entertainment producers + global ecommerce operators - AI content leverage: every live and UGC asset gets repurposed across markets - One partner, one contract — instead of stitching together a translator, a local agency, an influencer platform, and a logistics vendor How we work 1. Discovery (1 week) — your product, target market, unit economics, current assets 2. Strategy (1–2 weeks) — channel mix, creator shortlist, campaign calendar, KPI plan 3. Launch — execution across home shopping / live commerce / group buy 4. Scale — performance review, expand to the next channel or market (with AI-repurposed content) Engagement options - Single campaign (one channel, one market) — best for testing the waters - Asia market entry program (3–6 months) — recommended for serious expansion - Ongoing retainer — live commerce + influencer operations on a continuous basis Let's talk if you... - Have a product validated in your home market and Asia is the next move - Want to be on Korean home shopping (TV or mobile) or featured in a top Asian creator's group buy - Want to get more mileage out of every piece of content you produce - Need an actual operating partner in Korea — not just a translator or a media buyer Send us your product, your target market, and your goal. We'll come back with a channel recommendation and a realistic timeline within 48 hours.

I help SaaS companies, agencies, and government teams deliver complex technical projects on time — without the chaos. 15 years across Fortune 100 (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and US government digital transformation (Granicus). At HPE I ran a multi-billion-dollar global portfolio across 150+ countries and cut deployment timelines by 20%. At Granicus I led public-sector digitization that changed how citizens reach essential services. On UpWork: 22+ projects · 5,000+ hours · 100% Job Success. I now operate as SOTO⟂DEV — a doctrine-driven technical practice for businesses that have outgrown chaos. Most automation and software breaks within a year because it was built to demo, not to last. I work the opposite way: documentation-first, maintainable by your team, designed to outlive the technology it runs on. What I deliver – End-to-end project management (discovery → UAT → rollout) for SaaS and public-sector engagements – Custom software & web apps — SaaS products, internal tooling, operational dashboards – Automation architecture (n8n, Make, custom) with runbooks your team can actually maintain – AI-assisted workflows (OpenAI, Anthropic) wired into your real CRM, not a toy demo – Chatwoot deployments — multi-inbox, multi-agent, white-label-ready – CRM optimization, SaaS operations, agile/sprint planning, cross-functional coordination – Fractional technical operator engagements for founders and ops leaders who need a steady hand How I work – Written scope before any code. Written handoff after. – Every system ships with a runbook, a recovery procedure, and a change log. – Stakeholder communication tuned for both engineering teams and executive audiences. – I optimize for the third year of the system, not the first week. Who I am Bilingual EN/ES, based in San José, Costa Rica (GMT-6). Available for US and EU time zones. Operating under a written doctrine — clients see it on day one, because the same standards that govern my code govern the engagement. If you need a senior operator who's done this at Fortune 100 and government scale, won't disappear on you, and ships systems built to last — let's talk.

While others need hours, I deliver precise, culturally aligned results in minutes, because language is not work for me; it is instinct. My name is Macy. I am a multilingual digital strategist and branding advisor trusted by global teams expanding into Asian markets. My work sits at the intersection of UX localisation, brand identity, and deep market research across Hong Kong, South Korea, and the wider APAC region. With a foundation in both technology and design, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience leading and delivering 30+ cross-regional digital projects. These include national-scale research initiatives, large UX localisation systems, and brand expansions for consumer, retail, and Web3 companies. I work fluently in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean, allowing me to craft messages and user experiences that remain culturally grounded, commercially sound, and strategically consistent. Clients come to me when they need someone reliable, precise, and calm under pressure. I work with a traditional mindset: I study a brand's roots, understand its long-term direction, and translate its values into refined, culturally attuned deliverables that last. I specialise in high-precision work where quality matters: UX writing, localisation, brand voice development, cross-language strategy, market research, and market-entry planning. Every deliverable is handled with care, accuracy, and respect for the client's time. If you are looking for a long-term partner who brings premium insight, dependable execution, and the ability to bridge cultures with clarity and integrity, I would be honoured to support your team. With love, Macy
