Marketing is challenging.
Unless it’s with AAR & Company

Advisory

Via advisory, we don’t just drop in, make some fixes and leave. Rather, we take considerable time, listening to your needs, customising the marketing strategies together, and guiding you on how to implement those strategies. 

It means we will work closely with you—transferring knowledge, ideas and opinions through our frameworks, templates and checklists.

In less than a year, you will know marketing better and generate better real outcomes too.

FAQs

  • It is because they believe the effort of creating a marketing strategy should be driven internally. It should be inexpensive too. All they need is the knowledge, guide, how-to and structured templates, checklists and tools to deliver the job. They know AAR & Company is up for the job.

  • It's because our advice is honest and has real 'meat' inside. We know the answers and the proven remedies to their marketing challenges. Aside from being an advisor and consultant, we run real businesses too. FYI, we own an internet platform—300th. It allows us to understand what works and what doesn't.

  • There are many reasons, but here are the top 3.

    One, marketing is almost like a full-time work but the business owner wants to do everything on his or her own. Two, the business is strategising their marketing and executing the marketing strategy without proper knowledge, without proper guide, without proper templates, checklist and tools. And three, the business think marketing is their saviour. Well, it’s wrong. Marketing will work only if it is executed properly and supported by a great strategy and good business fundamentals.

  • Our expertise spans a wide array of marketing strategy disciplines, including recruitment and talent acquisition, lead generation, conversion, value proposition, purchasing journey, branding, content, awareness, user interface and experience, martech, return on investment, pricing, channel/partnership management and retention. With our comprehensive yet simplified approach and templates, we'll equip you with the dashboards, tools and strategies necessary to unlock your marketing full potential.

  • For advisory, our approach is to hand-hold our customers’ marketing team till they are familiar with what needs to be done. Here, we work with them, guide them thoroughly in establishing an ROI-driven marketing strategy, zooming into each how-to, and spark some creative ideas that will accelerate the deliverables to ensure revenue growth. In short, we work closely with our customers. Not on them.

  • The advisory sessions will be twice per month. The gap is every two (2) weeks so that your marketing team will have enough time to execute what was discussed. Long meetings aren't productive. We usually keep each session’s length decent—between one (1) to one-half (1.5) hours. 

    You may choose between three (3) plans. One is fully online. And two, is hybrid, which has both online and physical. At AAR & Company, we would recommend fully online.

  • It’s possible, but again the challenge is this. It will be difficult to see the results fast. That’s because there’s a lot of work to do and you, as the business owner, won’t have the time to work on it. Ended up many tasks will be delayed.

    It is recommended to have at least one person who can write well. It would be even better if you can have another person who can design and edit videos well too.

  • Yes. It’s possible. We have a 10-day free-trial period where it consists of an online session and unlimited text interactions. You can decide from there.

What Sets Us Apart

From the very beginning, AAR & Company was founded with a clear purpose—to be more than just another marketing advisory firm. We set out to create a truly valuable partner for emerging businesses, addressing real challenges faced by real people, not just analysing figures on a report. While we are based in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, our perspective has always been global. Our commitment lies in simplifying the complexities of modern marketing, not through jargon or fleeting trends, but with practical, results-driven strategies that make a tangible impact.

One thing we’ve noticed over the years is how easy it is for marketing firms to get stuck in theory. We’ve all seen it—long presentations, generic frameworks, and strategies that sound good in meetings but are impossible to execute. That’s not us. What sets us apart is our commitment to making things work in the real world. We don’t just advise; we build. We don’t just hand you a playbook and walk away—we stay in the trenches with you, refining, testing, and ensuring your marketing strategy delivers measurable impact. This is how we build the marketing blueprint that works.

A key advantage we bring is our series of custom-built templates and checklists, crafted from two decades of experience and real case studies. Over the years, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t—across industries, business sizes, and market conditions. We’ve distilled that knowledge into structured systems that eliminate guesswork and make execution easier for you. Whether it’s a proven framework for a Go-To-Market strategy, a checklist for optimising searchability, or a structured process for conversion, our tools give businesses a clear path to follow—without wasting time on trial and error.

We’re also unapologetically lean. That means we’re fast, flexible, and deeply integrated into your business. We operate like an extension of your team, not an expensive outsider. Whether it’s a startup looking for scalable growth or an established brand refining its strategy, we adapt to your needs, move quickly, and focus on what truly matters.

At the core of it all, what sets AAR & Company apart is simple: we care. About the work. About your business. About getting results the right way. We’ve built our reputation not just by being good at marketing but by being the kind of partners you can rely on.

And that, we believe, makes all the difference.

Ghost Strategist For Thought Leadership And Authority

You’ve got the ideas—the kind shaped by years of real work and leadership. But turning those ideas into a consistent, strategic presence isn’t always easy. Maybe you’ve posted before, spoken on panels, or led internal conversations, but it hasn’t quite added up to a clear narrative. Many people try, yet they end up being labelled as individuals who created viralled content rather than a thought leader. Thanks to their random content.

When we partner you as the ghost strategist, we will help you think clearly about what you want to say, how you want to show up, and what kind of presence you’re building over time. Together, we’ll sharpen your voice, identify your key niches, and shape a strategy that feels authentic and aligned with your professional and business goals.

Through a focused marketing strategy, we’ll map out your position, clarify your messaging, and guide how you show up—be it on LinkedIn or other social media platforms, on search engines or physically on stage. And beyond just visibility, this kind of thought-leadership work opens real doors: inbound leads, stronger positioning, monetisation opportunities, media interviews, speaking invitations, and being featured in other people’s platforms right in front of their respective communities.

If you have a communications team or ghostwriter, we’ll plug in to guide the direction. If not, we’ll work with you directly to bring clarity and consistency to how you show up—so your voice becomes an asset, not just an afterthought.

FAQs

  • It is for individual professionals like you who wish to become a thought leader and authority of your niche—growing your social media followers, searchability on search engines and make your professional presence felt in the physical world.

  • That’s a great place to start, honestly. However, the difference between occasional posting and posting strategically towards thought leadership and authority is not the same. We help you zoom out and look at the bigger picture: Coming up with a proper profile banner, photo, summary, and others are different, the posting types you need to push towards building something are different, and the conversations you need to be consistently part of are different too. It’s not about flooding the feed—it’s about showing up with purpose and being remembered for the right things.

  • It’s reasonable. The fee is only $250 per month. The engagement must be at least 6 months as the real outcome will start to surface during this period.

  • We totally get that. The whole point is to sharpen your voice, not replace it. We work behind the scenes to help you sound more like your professional self, just with more clarity, consistency, and strategic direction. Whether we collaborate with your team or work directly with you, everything is built around your values, your stories, and your leadership style. People won’t feel a disconnect. They won’t know we are behind you. 

  • Absolutely. In fact, most of our customers feel the same way. Viral content can get you attention, but it rarely builds authority. We’re not chasing clicks—we’re building credibility. The kind that gets you invited to real conversations, mentioned in meaningful spaces, and positioned as a go-to voice when it comes to your niche. It’s a medium-to-long game, yet the end result will be worth the time and money invested.

  • That’s one of the first things we will advise you about. It must cover three parts: the social media, the search engines and the real world. We’ll map out where your audience already is, what fits your personality, and how to make the most of your time and energy. The strategy is built around you, not a generic playbook.

  • Perfect. We’re not here to replace them. Our strategy work is positioned at the top layer of their work. It covers the setting up of the strategy, defining the narrative, and making sure the voice and presence are moving in the right direction towards the objectives we’ve identified. We provide the strategic backbone, and your team helps with the execution.
