1. Marketing overview
This Marketing page describes how brands, tourism boards, broadcasters, NGOs and technology partners can engage with the SEA Games 2027 Malaysia digital experience (seagamesmalaysia2027.org) and the broader storytelling around Celebrating Unity · Raikan Perpaduan.
Official commercial rights for the 34th SEA Games (title sponsorship, category exclusivity, on-site branding, broadcast sponsorship) are controlled by authorised organising and rights-holding entities (including SEAGF frameworks and MASOC commercial programmes). This Site can support awareness, fan education and partner storytelling — but does not by itself sell exclusive Games-wide sponsorship packages.
We welcome ethical, inclusive campaigns that celebrate Southeast Asian sport, culture and youth — and we reject ambush marketing that misleads fans about official status.
2. Brand platform
2.1 Positioning
Malaysia 2027 presents the SEA Games as a multi-city celebration of unity: Opening energy in Sarawak, precision and heritage in Penang, football passion in Johor, and capital spectacle in Kuala Lumpur. The motto Celebrating Unity / Raikan Perpaduan anchors bilingual storytelling.
2.2 Visual system (digital experience)
- Primary blue: #0037AA (deep authority, maritime & national resonance).
- Deep blue: #0037AA (night heroes, footer and immersive sections).
- Gold: #FFCD00 (victory, ceremony, CTAs).
- Red accent: #EC1E25 (energy, alerts, national warmth).
- Typography: display headlines for ceremony moments; clean sans for UI and long-form legal/support.
- Motion: purposeful reveals, liquid-metal CTAs, cluster-specific backgrounds — never motion for its own sake on critical forms.
2.3 Voice & tone
- Proud but welcoming — host energy without exclusion.
- Bilingual where it matters (English + Bahasa Malaysia).
- Fact-forward on dates, clusters and accessibility; poetic on ceremony and culture.
- Never invent medal results or official sales deadlines.
2.4 Brand do’s and don’ts
- Do: credit host states and communities; use inclusive imagery of women, men, youth and Para pathways where relevant.
- Do: link fans to accessibility and spectator guidance.
- Don’t: imply your brand is a “title sponsor” or “official partner” without written rights.
- Don’t: alter official marks, mascots or SEAGF emblems beyond licensed artwork.
- Don’t: run fake giveaways requiring payment that mimic ticket sales.

8. Measurement & reporting

UTM discipline: use campaign, source, medium consistently. Avoid embedding secrets in query strings.
Brand-lift studies or surveys require separate ethics and privacy review.
