Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, launches its brand new initiative, the Shopee Celebrity Squad, which allows users easy access to a curated collection of products by their favourite Malaysian celebrities. Today, with approximately 10 million users and around 400,000 sellers on the platform, Shopee Malaysia continues to rank as the number one shopping app on App Store and Google Play.
“Our users form the core of all our strategies, and we always strive to find new ways to connect with them on a deeper and more meaningful level. We know Malaysians adore their local celebrities, and with an increasing number of celebrities launching their own brands, we began to notice a rising demand for their products among users. Hence, we decided to launch the Shopee Celebrity Squad, a dedicated in-app space featuring a variety of celebrity brands, allowing shoppers to enjoy easy access to products sold by their favourite celebrities at the click of a button! In line with the launch, we also promise shoppers exclusive deals and special discounts across the celebrities’ collections,” said Ian Ho, Shopee’s Regional Managing Director at the launch ceremony.

As a zero-commission e-commerce platform that provides free shipping nationwide, our commercial friendly trade terms allow for celebrities to tap on Shopee’s platform and features, dedicated support and extensive reach across Malaysia to further grow their online businesses. Moving forward, we aim to further expand the Shopee Celebrity Squad with the introduction of new celebrities every month.”
