Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – MessengerCo announced the introduction of an AI-powered platform designed to organise and manage corporate gifting processes through a structured digital environment. The platform integrates catalogue browsing, gift recommendation, pricing, and proposal generation into a single interface, providing teams with the ability to create customised gift sets and generate complete gift set proposals instantly. Automated sourcing and live quotation capabilities support order coordination across varied requirements and multiple locations.
The platform arranges corporate gifting activity through tools that combine automation with structured workflows. A dynamic visual catalogue provides access to a diverse range of items that can be configured into customised gift sets for branding, events, or corporate initiatives. An AI-powered curator interprets parameters such as budget, recipient type, occasion, and quantity, returning organised suggestions aligned with organisational needs. The system also integrates an automated sourcing engine that distributes requests across suppliers, consolidates quotations, and presents structured options within the platform interface. These functions aim to replace extended manual coordination, fragmented communication, and prolonged lead times with a streamlined approach to corporate gifting.
MessengerCo’s rise is driven by three core pillars: Inspiration, Innovation, and Impact Procurement — a formula that is rapidly reshaping how companies across Malaysia and Southeast Asia think about gifting and merchandise.
1. Inspiration: Challenging the Old Norms of a Slow, Outdated Industry
For decades, corporate gifting has been synonymous with long waits, scattered WhatsApp orders, guessed quotations, last-minute panic, and catalogues that rarely fit what a brand truly wants.
MessengerCo was founded to challenge all of that.
“We believe the days of waiting days for a quotation, digging through limited catalogues, or coordinating with ten suppliers should be over,” said MessengerCo CEO and Co-Founder Heaster Andrea Hilary. “With AI and automation, humans should use their time for what matters — delivering joy, building relationships, and creating an unforgettable brand experience.”
Powered by its proprietary AI platform, MessengerCo gives businesses the ability to:
- Choose from over 3,000 curated gift and merchandise options
- Get live bulk pricing in seconds
- Ship seamlessly to single or multiple locations — even across countries
What once took 14–21 days can now be completed in a few clicks, without compromising quality, service, or creativity.
MessengerCo’s Product Offerings: Built for Every Corporate Need
MessengerCo has developed a wide, flexible product ecosystem designed to serve businesses of every size, occasion, and branding requirement:
1) Seasonal & Festive Collections
Curated sets for moments that matter — including International Women’s Day, Doctor’s Day, Men’s Day, and major festive seasons such as Raya, Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn, Deepavali, and Christmas.
These collections are refreshed annually to keep up with cultural trends and brand needs.
2) Low MOQ Merchandise
Perfect for SMEs and agile teams — purchase from just 20 units, fully customisable with your company logo.
This range includes apparel, stationery, lifestyle goods, team onboarding kits, and more.
3) High-MOQ Custom Merchandise
Uniquely designed, one-of-a-kind merchandise created exclusively for your brand.
These are high-volume, best-value products produced from scratch — ideal for companies aiming to stand out with proprietary corporate gifts, event merch, or brand mascots.
2. Innovation: Combining Tech With Human Joy
MessengerCo isn’t just digitising the industry — it is redefining how businesses experience gifting.
Its AI-powered platform enables companies to create customised gift sets, branded merchandise, onboarding kits, and festive collections in a fraction of the usual time. Technology removes the complexity, while humans add emotion and curation.
“Our goal is simple: if it feels slow, complicated, or frustrating, we automate it,” said Heaster.
“That way, our team can focus on what humans do best — adding joy, emotion, and care into every order.”
Smart, Free-to-Use Platform Features
MessengerCo’s platform is built to be simple, powerful, and accessible — with no subscription fee required.
1) Catalogue — 3,000+ Options
A dynamic, visual catalogue where businesses can browse thousands of products, compare variations, and discover local brands and festive collections.
2) Gift Builder
A self-service tool that allows users to build complete gift set proposals instantly — with item combinations, pricing, and mock-ups ready to share.
3) AI Curator
An intelligent assistant that recommends gift ideas based on budget, audience, occasion, and quantity — ensuring companies receive thoughtful, relevant suggestions.
4) AI Sourcing Engine (RFQ)
Companies can drop an RFQ in seconds and let MessengerCo handle the sourcing.
The system automatically searches its supplier network and returns quotations — fast, organised, and transparent.
This future-ready approach has made MessengerCo one of the region’s fastest-growing gifting startups, doubling year-on-year while maintaining profitability.
3. Impact Procurement: Every Ringgit Should Create Meaningful Change
Perhaps the company’s most powerful pillar is its commitment to impact procurement — using corporate spending to uplift communities, artisans, and homegrown brands.
MessengerCo is shifting the conversation from:
“How much can you spend?”
to
“How much impact can each ringgit create?”
The company actively works with:
• Social Enterprises
Including the Rungus, Kadazan, and Dusun artisans of Sabah, and Malaysian SEs such as Earth Heir and Dignity for Children (KTJ).
• Women-Led Local Brands
Celebrating and elevating female entrepreneurs behind brands like Wunderbath, Kintry, and Ecomin.
• Malaysian SMEs & Local Brands
From lifestyle staples like Montigo, Kintry and Wunderbath to small-batch local makers — ensuring Malaysian products reach corporate clients across Asia.
• Eco-Conscious Alternatives
Offering sustainable packaging, ethical products, and environmentally friendly merchandise options for brands committed to greener choices.
For every order fulfilled, MessengerCo strives to uplift at least one local supplier, artisan, or SME — creating a ripple effect of long-term economic and social impact.
A Joyful Disruptor with a Malaysian Heart
MessengerCo is more than a gifting company — it is a proudly Malaysian story powered by innovation, purpose, and heart.
By challenging outdated norms, empowering communities, and using technology to transform a traditionally slow industry, MessengerCo is setting a new standard for corporate gifting: fast, thoughtful, personalised, and impactful.
“We’re here to prove that corporate gifting can be joyful again,” said Heaster.
“Joy for the giver, joy for the receiver, and joy for the community.”
As MessengerCo continues expanding across Southeast Asia, one thing remains unchanged: Every gift is a messenger of joy, impact, and connection.

How We Started: A Story Rooted in Joy, Friendship, and Purpose
MessengerCo began not as a business plan, but as a moment of humanity.
During the pandemic, founder Heaster curated gifts for a dear friend who was fighting cancer. In one of the darkest periods of her life, that act of bringing joy to someone she loved sparked an unexpected mission — to spread the same joy to others.
What began as three small gift orders soon grew into a steady stream of requests. From packing orders on the floor to managing every customer interaction herself, Heaster built MessengerCo from the ground up with RM1,000 and a belief: gifts are not just things — they are messengers of emotion, care, and connection.
The company name itself came from this philosophy:
“A gift is just the messenger. The real message is how you make people feel.”
Today, MessengerCo has shipped >250,000 gift in 4 years to over 19 countries. Its rapid rise and strong fundamentals caught the attention of global investors, and MessengerCo is now proudly backed by Antler VC, one of the world’s leading early-stage venture capital firms.
Despite its growth, the heart of MessengerCo remains the same: create joy, honour relationships, and make every recipient feel important.
