REV Media Group Sdn Bhd, Malaysia’s No. 1 digital publisher, today announced it has completed the full acquisition of The Vocket Sdn Bhd, one of the country’s leading lifestyle and culture platforms. REV Media Group previously held a 52% majority stake in Vocket. With this transaction, the REV Media Group has now acquired the remaining 48% of shares, making Vocket a wholly owned brand under its portfolio.

The acquisition further cements REV Media Group’s market dominance, strengthening its position in the Malay digital space. Between 2024 and today, Vocket has seen its unique readers climb to 1.4 million, monthly pageviews to 68.5 million, and its social media following to over 758,000, solidifying its role as a hub for football fanatics, hobbyists, and young Malaysians keen on travel, finance, and style. Its audience is majority male (57%), with a strong base among millennials aged 25–34 (41%) and 35–44 (34%) ; reflecting Malaysia’s digital-first generation.

“This full acquisition of Vocket is a testament to REV Media Group’s commitment to pioneering scale, fostering innovation, and cementing our leadership in Malaysia’s dynamic digital media market,” affirmed Samuel Wee, Chief Executive Officer of REV Media Group. “Vocket has proven its immense potential and strong influence among millennials and the growing Gen Z market. With full ownership, we are now poised to accelerate its growth exponentially, and collectively set transformative benchmarks for digital publishing & content to expand our market share further across the nation.

“This is an incredible milestone for Vocket,” shared Mohd Fazreen Jasni, founder of The Vocket. “’Vocket was founded 11 years ago out of a genuine passion for content-sharing and this recent acquisition marks the beginning of a new chapter. As ‘Viral in Your Pocket,’ our mission is to deliver fresh, bold ideas that connect with readers across racial, economic and social backgrounds and I believe we are now positioned to grow stronger than before. This is not just Vocket’s next chapter, it’s the start of a bolder conversation with Malaysia.” While continuing to explore new digital avenues, Fazreen says he is also taking a step back to focus on personal growth and sporting pursuits.”

The seamless integration of Vocket into REV Media Group’s expansive ecosystem promises to unlock a wealth of enhanced cross-platform advertising opportunities, more precise and impactful audience targeting, and innovative new monetization pathways. This strategic alignment will significantly strengthen REV Media Group’s position as the definitive go-to partner for brands seeking unparalleled scale, authentic cultural relevance, and future-forward engagement in the Malaysian market.
