Do I have to proceed to a Diagnostic or Engagement after the Fit Call?

No. The Fit Call is a mutual evaluation. Whether to proceed to a Diagnostic or Engagement is decided by both parties after the call.

Is the Diagnostic fee credited toward the Engagement?

The Diagnostic is a separate one-time fee. When you move to Engagement, the diagnostic findings become the direct foundation for your execution roadmap.

What is the minimum Engagement duration?

We recommend a minimum of 3 months to generate meaningful market data and early results. After that, the engagement runs on a rolling monthly basis.

How does ad spend work?

You pay ad spend directly to each platform. RIVACTA never takes a percentage of media spend. Management fees and ad spend are always clearly separated.

Which platforms do you manage?

Google Ads, Yahoo! JAPAN Ads, Naver Ads, Kakao Moment, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), LINE Ads, X (Twitter), and TikTok.

Can I target only Japan or only Korea?

Yes. Unless readiness and budget support two markets at once, we recommend validating one market's revenue path before expanding.

Engagement

3-stage engagement model,we qualify before we commit

We don't sign clients that aren't a fit. Start with a Fit Call, design your strategy through a Market Diagnostic, then move into full execution.

Stages are sequential. Fit Call confirms the relationship, Diagnostic builds the strategy, Engagement executes it.
