Card Your Way.
Invest Your Way.

Kokoro collects. Ria plans. Together they're the collab nobody expected — and exactly what TCGKL's 10,000+ crowd needs to hear at TCGKL Convention 2026, this November.

Malaysia's most financially-minded subculture, in one room, for three days.

Meet the collab

Three characters.
One direction.

Kokoro represents the heart of TCG culture — passion, collecting, community. Ria represents what comes next — planning, automation, long-term money confidence. And Along brings ASNB's own family face to the floor. They don't compete. They complete each other.

🐯 TCGKL Malaysia
Kokoro

  • Community — the floor is alive because of Kokoro
  • Local pride — Malaysian IP, BM-first, home crowd energy
Kokoro's message to the crowd: "Different cards. Different goals. One strategy for a better future." — He already understands value. He already holds. He already knows a rare card when he sees one.

TCGKL Malaysia

Malaysia's largest TCG event organiser

MOTAC-endorsed. Grew from 2,000 attendees (2023) to 10,000+ (2025) in two years. Held a single on-stage card deal worth RM1.87M. Holds a Malaysia Book of Records certificate (1,557 cards signed).

Why the November convention

Flagship event. Maximum optics.

The Main Convention is TCGKL's biggest event of the year — 10,000+ attendees in 2025. An ASNB brand presence here isn't buried at a mall convention — it's centre stage at the flagship, Ministry tourism tick attached.

Target market

Wider than you think.

"They already invest.
They call it collecting."
The core insight of this pitch
Local IP spotlight

Malaysia punya TCG.
The family segment.

🇲🇾 Local IP · Monsta Galaxy Card
Boboiboy Galaxy Card brings the families.

Monsta's Boboiboy Galaxy Card (RM5.50/pek, Bahasa-first) fills the floor with parents and kids — and Monsta is already an official TCGKL partner. The Ria message for that parent: "Labur untuk masa depan dia."

🇲🇾 Malaysian IP Family segment Parents-only messaging (minors present)
Collaboration ideas

What it actually
looks like on the floor.

Physical merch (playmat, sleeves, deck box) is bundled under the Onboarding Booth tier below.

What we're proposing

Three activation tiers.

1

Title Sponsor — TCGKL Convention 2026

Full naming rights for the 3-day flagship convention. Maximum brand visibility at Ria's most relevant audience to date.

  • Event name: "TCGKL Convention 2026 presented by Ria"
  • Main stage backdrop + MC call-outs all 3 days
  • Hero placement at venue entrance, main hall, and all collateral
  • Digital co-branding across TCGKL's social channels (FB · TikTok · IG)
  • Indicative investment: TBC — pending TCGKL rate card
Flagship
2

Ria Onboarding Booth

Prime floor position. RM10 sign-up bonus as the hook. Limited collab merch as the pull. ASNB staff, not outsourced reps.

  • RM10 credit — every new Ria account registered at booth
  • Limited numbered Ria × TCGKL playmat + co-branded sleeves/deck box (exclusive, not sold)
  • QR-to-app onboarding flow optimised for event setting
  • ASNB Digital Channel staff on the floor — no promo agency
  • Indicative investment: booth fee + merch production + credit pool — TBC
Acquisition
3

Ria Open — Tournament Prize Pool

Ria funds the prize pool across tournament formats. Champion walks out with a Ria portfolio already seeded — a story that writes itself for social content.

  • Full prize pool funded by Ria (RM15,000+ benchmark from past TCGKL events)
  • Champion: RM500 seeded directly into a Ria portfolio
  • Runner-up: RM250 Ria portfolio seed
  • "Ria Open" naming rights on all brackets, comms, and streams
  • Indicative investment: RM15–20K prize pool + activation costs — TBC
Engagement
What we're measuring

Three numbers.
That's the pitch.

500–1,500
New Ria accounts at event
Internal working assumption: 5–10% of 10K+ footfall engaged at booth, with conversion driven by the RM10 credit + exclusive promo card.
RM100K+
Attributable AUM within 30 days
Internal working assumption: 1,000 sign-ups × 50% funded × RM200 avg. Measurable. Reportable. Not a commitment.
CPA
Benchmarked vs Ria's digital CPA
Final figure depends on total sponsorship cost (TBC per tier). Target: at or near digital benchmark, with a brand halo that outlasts the weekend.
It's already been done

CIMB did it at GeekCon.
Ria does it better.

CIMB Bank has been the Official Banking Partner of GeekCon — Malaysia's largest pop culture convention — for two consecutive years. The playbook is proven. The question is who executes it sharper.

📋 2-Year Precedent · 2024 & 2025

CIMB × GeekCon — Official Banking Partner

MITEC, Kuala Lumpur · GeekCon 2024 (12–14 Jul) & GeekCon 2025 (19–20 Jul) · CIMB returned both years

20,000+ Attendees (2025)
What CIMB did at GeekCon
  • Dedicated booth with interactive in-booth games and giveaways
  • 5% cashback for CIMB cardholders on all GeekCon purchases
  • Exclusive GeekCon × CIMB co-branded merch for new account sign-ups
  • CIMB Clicks app demos and on-site account registration
  • Cashless payment integration across the entire event floor
  • TCG vendor booths accepted CIMB payments for high-value card transactions
Where Ria goes further at TCGKL
  • TCG-only audience — higher intent and spend per head vs broad pop culture mix
  • Character-driven collab (Kokoro × Ria) — merch people actually want to keep
  • Numbered promo card as sign-up reward — collector value, not a tote bag
  • RM10 portfolio seed instead of cashback — turns sign-ups into actual investors
  • Tournament prize pool seeded into Ria — the winner becomes a Ria investor on camera
  • BM-first execution throughout — cultural fluency CIMB didn't demonstrate
GeekCon had 20,000+ attendees (2025) but they're a broad mix — anime fans, cosplayers, gamers, casual visitors. TCGKL's 10,000+ are pure TCG: they already think in EV, hold strategy, and asset allocation. Smaller room, significantly higher financial intent. CIMB proved the category works. Ria can own the sharper version of it.

Why this makes sense for ASNB

Hard to argue against.

🎯

Exact target demographic, high intent

20–38 year olds with spending power who already practise financial thinking. Not a broad spray — a laser audience, self-selected by their hobby.

🏛️

MOTAC endorsement already on TCGKL

Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture backing is already attached to TCGKL. ASNB + MOTAC + a flagship national event = a story both sides can tell upward without extra justification.

📦

Real deliverables, measurable outcomes

Not a logo on a banner. Signed-up accounts, funded portfolios, and a CPA figure. Every outcome is attributable and reportable — clean for management KPIs.

Path to November

Working timeline.

Jul

Internal alignment & approval

Management buy-in on tier selection and indicative budget. Compliance pre-read on RM10 credit mechanics and on-site account opening.

Aug

TCGKL agreement + Monsta scoping

Rate card, deliverables, and naming rights locked with TCGKL. Confirm whether Boboiboy/Monsta joins as third IP party.

Sep

Promo card & merch production

Card design, print run, playmat/sleeve production. Physical TCG collateral needs a 6–8 week lead time.

Oct

Pre-event digital

Archetype quiz, co-branded content series, creator seeding across TCGKL channels.

Nov

Event — 6–8 November 2026

Booth live, Ria Open runs, Holo promo card drops at sign-up.

Before we commit

Risks & compliance notes.

⚖️

Regulatory sign-off

On-site account opening, the RM10 promo credit, and portfolio-seeded prizes all need ASNB compliance (and where applicable SC) approval before any public commitment.

🧒

Minor audience

The Boboiboy segment skews young. All Ria messaging in that zone targets parents/guardians only — no investment marketing directed at minors.

📝

Open items

Venue unconfirmed (KLCC targeted, TBC by TCGKL). Sponsorship rate card not yet received. Monsta IP participation to be scoped separately.
