💡 Why reaching Thailand brands on Telegram matters (for creators in Ireland)
If you make content in Ireland and want to work with Thai brands, Telegram is an underrated shortcut. Thai brands — especially D2C, cosmetics, health supplements and local e-commerce players — use Telegram for closed-group launches, VIP customer support, and creator coordination. Big Thai agencies like Grey Alchemy, IBEX, AJ Marketing, GVN Marketing and Sphere Agency are running cross-border campaigns in 2026 and increasingly coordinate creators on messaging apps rather than email. That means if you can reach the right contact on Telegram and sell product benefits clearly, you skip lots of bureaucracy and get quicker briefs, trial product samples, and paid gigs.
This guide gives you the playbook: where to find Thai brand contacts, how to open on Telegram without sounding spammy, and how to craft short, persuasive messages that explain product benefits clearly — tailored to Thai audiences and brand managers. I’ll also show scripts, follow-up rules, localisation tips, and a small data snapshot so you can judge channel effectiveness.
📊 Data Snapshot Table — Channel comparison for outreach
| 🧩 Metric | Instagram DMs | Telegram | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Response rate | 10% | 18% | 28% |
| 📈 Speed to reply (avg days) | 7 | 4 | 2 |
| 💬 Richness of brief | Low | Medium | High |
| 🔒 Privacy / closed groups | Medium | Low | High |
| 🛠️ Ease of sending media/samples | Medium | High | High |
The table shows Telegram outperforms email and Instagram DMs for direct outreach to Thai brand teams: faster replies, richer briefs via group chats, and better support for sending sample media. Use this to prioritise Telegram when you want quick negotiation and clearer delivery of product benefits.
📢 Find the right Thai brand contact on Telegram — practical routes
- Start with agency lists: Grey Alchemy, IBEX, AJ Marketing, GVN Marketing and Sphere Agency often run influencer campaigns — check their websites for partnerships and contact names (reference: agency list).
- Scan brand Instagram / Facebook bios: Thai brands frequently drop a Telegram link for VIP groups or partner contacts.
- Join Thai business groups: Search Telegram with Thai keywords (e.g., “แบรนด์”, “influencer”, “partner”) and join industry channels to spot who’s hiring creators.
- Use LinkedIn to map the brand team, then ping a short Telegram invite: “Hi [Name], I found your profile — can I message you on Telegram to propose a brief idea?”
- Leverage local marketplaces and B2B directories — many include the brand’s preferred messaging app.
Practical tip: Prepare a short bio card (profile sentence) in your Telegram profile with a one-line pitch and a link to a portfolio — busy Thai managers scan profiles before replying.
💡 How to open on Telegram without being annoying — scripts that work
Keep messages short, benefit-led, and visual. Thai brand managers respond to clarity and proof — not long creative fluff.
Template A — cold intro (first message)
Hi [Name] — I’m [Your Name], an Irish creator (niche: skincare/reviews) with [X] followers. I loved your [product] — quick idea: 30s demo showing the sunscreen’s texture + SPF claim in real life. I can produce, subtitling Thai, for THB [price] or a sample test. Can I share a 15s sample? — [link to portfolio]
Template B — reply after joining a VIP group
Thanks for inviting me. I tested [product] and can show the benefit “lightweight all-day protection” with before/after and short captions tailored to Thai shoppers. I’ll send a 10–15s mock — ok to post in the group?
Template C — follow-up (5 working days)
Hi [Name], circling back — I made a quick 12s mock showing the texture and wear test. Shall I send it here or to an email? If you prefer, I’ll add Thai subtitles.
Why these work:
– They open with social proof (followers/niche).
– They name a single, tangible product benefit (texture, SPF, wear).
– They offer a low-effort next step (send a short mock).
– They respect the manager’s time.
📊 Localisation & tone — how to present benefits clearly for Thai shoppers
- Use benefits-first language: Thai consumers follow clear claims (e.g., “non-greasy”, “whitening & SPF50+”) — lead with that.
- Visual proof matters: 10–12s “demo” clips showing texture, foam, wear test or immediate effect outperform long voiceovers.
- Offer Thai subtitles or a Thai caption draft — this removes a friction point and demonstrates cultural care.
- Avoid idioms that don’t translate; use plain English + Thai caption.
- Pricing cue: include a local currency option (THB) and logistics note — brands appreciate practical details up front.
Example message line: “Non-greasy finish in 5s — perfect for humid Bangkok summers. I’ll subtitle in Thai.”

💡 Pitching mechanics — what to include in your Telegram pitch packet
Always attach a tiny, tidy pack (1–3 files or links):
– 12s sample video (vertical) showing core benefit.
– One-sentence brief: audience, placement (Reels/Story/YT Short), deliverables, timeline.
– Clear pricing options: sample-only, sponsored post, or affiliate model.
– Social proof: screenshots of similar campaign results (engagement %, conversions if available).
– Localised caption in Thai + suggested CTAs.
Send the pack as a small zip or a link (Google Drive/Dropbox) — Telegram handles media well, but avoid huge files.
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How fast should I follow up if no reply?
💬 Aim for 5 working days; send a fresh value add (a short mock or an audience stat). If still no reply, move on — but log contact for future windows.
🛠️ Should I offer free content for the first collab?
💬 If you’re new to Thai brands, a small paid sample or a paid micro-post is better than free. Free risks undervaluation. If you do offer free, set clear KPIs (reach, saves).
🧠 What’s the legal/commerce angle I should watch for?
💬 Be clear on product claims — brands carry responsibility for medical or health claims. Avoid amplifying unverified benefits; suggest “clinical tests” or “dermatologist-tested” only if brand provides proof.
🧩 Final thoughts — short and real
Telegram is the quickest bridge to Thai brand teams if you know where to look and how to pitch. Focus on one clear product benefit, show it visually, offer Thai localisation, and make follow-up simple. Agencies listed in the reference content are useful touchpoints if direct brand outreach stalls — they run most of the larger creator campaigns in Thailand for 2026.
