Xavier Fok

Hi, I'm Xavier.

Co-founded Ally Media. Solo founder, AI and automation.

I've been starting businesses since I was 18, in Singapore and Bangkok. Now I run a one-person business with AI and a small VA team, and I write down what it costs and what breaks.

US$2.66M
in sales across 56,209 orders at Stickeebra, our bra brand
S$250k
in sales from about S$8.9k of TikTok ads
240k
TikTok fans for a client aged 74
$50-100k

No, I'm not choking the sheep. She's very comfortable and well supported.

Track record

Own brand

Stickeebra

US$2.66M

It started with affiliate ads in Bangkok: about US$500k in ads for about US$800k in revenue. Then we built our own bra brand and ran all of it, from product R&D to warehousing. Ads reached 50-60% of revenue, against the 10% my mentor told me to stay under. Copycats arrived and the profit dried up.

Own service

Ally Media's TikTok ads

S$8.9k to S$250k

The number looks better than it is. It worked because the service is high value and people had already been watching us post for 2 years. They weren't seeing us for the first time in the ad.

Client

Mr Yeo, 74

240k fans

A 74-year-old shoe seller on TikTok. We handled the filming, scripts and editing. Zaobao wrote about him when his videos passed a million views.
