Malaysian Celebrities Get on LINE!

˗       LINE launched Official Accounts for rising stars Neelofa, Nazim Othman
and Fizo Omar

˗       The three new celebrities have also joined LINE’s new wave of popularity in Malaysia by starring in a series of the TV commercials

˗       LINE is one of the fastest growing mobile messaging services in the world as surpassing the 200 million-milestone globally only 25 months after its initial launch

[Tuesday, 23 July 2013 – Kuala Lumpur] LINE, the world’s hottest mobile messaging platform, yesterday launched Official Accounts for three Malaysian celebrities, Neelofa, Nazim Othman and Fizo Omar. The leading mobile messaging platform has attained exponential growth since its launch in June 2011, with a record number of 200 million users worldwide and ranked as the number 1 app in the free app category for 47 countries including Malaysia.

These new Official Accounts will enable LINE users to befriend these rising stars of Malaysia and communicate directly with them on LINE. Fans can follow their updates and interact with them in real time during ‘On Air Mode’, where they can read and respond to messages from LINE users.

“The addition of the three new celebrities on Official Accounts is in line with our ambition to grow our user base in Malaysia and strengthen the emotional connection with users as we evolve to become a true Smartphone Life Platform. It represents a big part of LINE’s continuous efforts in delivering localised user experience, content and services to make LINE relevant to users not only from all over the world, but also in Malaysia,” says Simeon Cho, General Manager of Global LINE Business, LINE PLUS Corporation.

These three rising Malaysian celebrities also recently filmed a series of four LINE TV commercials as they unveil their personality and interaction as buddies, as well as rivals too. In this entertaining series, while Neelofa and Nazim get to relight their experience working together since the acclaimed drama series “Kau Yang Terindah”, the addition of Fizo sparked new chemistry and friendships among the three of them.

The first edition of the TV commercial features Neelofa and her sister Nabila, where the latter attempted to borrow a dress from Neelofa as they chat on LINE using Stickers, text and voice messaging. The other commercials captured Nazim and Fizo in action competing with each other on LINE Games.

Since the TV commercials premiered on local television channels on 12 July 2013, the messaging application tracked an increased daily download rate of over 200 per cent in Malaysia. The rapid user growth bolsters LINE’s greater commitment to continuously roll out more localised and tailored features for Malaysian users.  

Recently, LINE has released a set of eight (8) special limited edition Ramadhan stickers for Malaysians users in conjunction with the blessed Ramadhan fasting month and upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations. 

Each sticker depicts global iconic LINE characters – Cony, Brown, Moon and Sally – in a fun and animated way as they perform a variety of traditional customs, including seeking forgiveness, salam with each other, serving ketupat and balik kampung. Apart from sending spiced-up mobile greetings on LINE, users are able to use the Ramadhan Stickers to decorate their photos on LINE Camera.   

LINE has also extended its partnerships with local business entities to run the LINE's Special Hari Raya Giveaway where LINE is giving away sampul duit raya (green envelopes) at various locations across Malaysia throughout the Ramadhan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri season. These envelopes are available for free at BHPetrol stations, Chatime outlets, Chaswood chain of restaurants, Nokia outlets, as well as HotFM events.

On June, LINE has presented the localized stickers exclusively dedicated to Malaysian users based on a popular Malaysian animation icon, Upin & Ipin. Furthermore, LINE will continue to offer more fun and exciting features, in addition to carrying out more locally-tailored marketing campaigns to become an integral part of Malaysian users’ daily lives.
