Top Creative Design And Branding Companies in Singapore

Overview

Massive diversion seen within industry; product success revolving around ideas and experiences

The design and branding sector in Singapore finds itself moving towards change. Utilizing the ability to connect audiences with products and convincing them to be confident in purchases being made has remodeled branding narratives on a large scale. Working through branding strategies best suited for companies, the design and branding industry has vastly improved in Singapore.

By 2022, 4.11 million consumers in Singapore are expected to switch to e-commerce solutions. As per Statista, in 2018, the average revenue per user amounted to USD 1,296. The branding and design sector involves engagement, education, research, evaluation and justification. Design and branding companies have constantly worked towards paving a branding funnel that ultimately assists with capturing the appropriate market for relevant companies.

Sustainability utilized to engage customers; companies opt for more personalized approach by incorporating values and ethics into branding

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in consumers looking towards brands that leveraged sustainability and eco-friendly solutions. Statistics show that in 2018, 83% of consumers supported companies that based their branding and design around products being less harmful to the environment. In 2019, statistics showed that 33% of consumers stated that brand consistency played a large role with regards to brand presentation and attraction.

Consumer requirements for transparency also rose to 66% in 2018, which resulted in companies shifting their focus towards the ethics involved in material and product sourcing, and sharing their motives behind increased profit with consumers. As a result, companies are now utilizing designs to connect emotionally with customers, enabling them to develop more research-based brand strategies.

A vast number of companies steered towards recyclable materials and packaging materials free from allergens and toxins due to customer requirements. Businesses that create awareness and show corporate, environmental and social responsibility have become an essential part of the current design and branding initiative in 2022.

Hygiene has also become a priority among consumers due to the pandemic, while the promotion of safety measures and precautions is a vital part of the design and branding of an entity. Progressive movements and government initiatives have also been given increased importance as a part of the development of the branding and design sector in Singapore.

Key Trends

Prioritized digital touch points; consumers and brand interaction development by branding agencies in the midst of COVID-19

As a means of connecting brands with consumers post-pandemic, branding agencies in Singapore focused on products, interactions, settings and messages. Companies capitalized on understanding how customers utilize websites, social media and discussion boards in order to develop and generate conversations revolving around the design and branding industry.

With the aim of supporting the industry, the government provided grants to encourage companies to move to a digital platform. In 2020, a sum of SGD 59.9 billion was provided by the government to support businesses and industries along with an initiative referred to as Good Design Research, which allowed design practitioners to stay resilient to external shocks arising from the pandemic.

The government issued several grants, one of which was the Enterprise Development Grant, which assisted entities in their attempts to upgrade their capabilities and handle more technically advanced ventures. Additionally, the Enterprise Development Grant provides 90% of the qualifying project costs, as per the Supplementary Budget 2020.

Redirecting focus towards branded activation based on a digital brand experience allowed the design and branding sector to assist consumers with connecting to products. Adept communication skills and re-routing strategies served as a means of creating reassurance for consumers by improving content quality and maintaining consistency.

In 2018, 64% of consumers were shown to make purchases after they viewed branded videos on social media. This resulted in companies shifting their focus towards consistent digital brand presentations across all platforms, which improved revenues by upto 23%. Video content marketing increased, with brands capitalizing on social media videos in order to demonstrate short yet concise details to consumers. Year 2018 marked a 122% increase in direct mailing, with the use of strategic email marketing techniques that avoided detailed text yet included campaigns that were able to capture consumer markets, and share design and branding details.

Authenticity and accountability take over; drive towards digital branding evolving into meaningful content

In 2021, 71% of consumers opted for branding that aligned with values they believed in. Additionally, 91% of consumer markets looked for authenticity as a way of connecting with a brand, which has caused a paradigm shift within the sector. Customer experiences became a necessary target by branding entities due to 73% of the market being more open to better experiences with regards to influencing product preferences in 2021.

The pandemic resulted in the internet being a sole means of global connections and communications, which saw unprecedented levels of information being shared via digital platforms. This dynamic shift created a community that was culturally and socially alert or more aware of the impacts on cultural, environmental and social instances.

At present, branding and design companies that rely heavily on social media need to steer clear of scrutinized sectors in the digital world and on social media platforms in order to develop genuine marketing campaigns. Furthermore, consumers from the Gen Z and Millennial demography show an interest in design and branding that is focused on connections and displays transparency behind the message and values of companies.

But this does not mean that the pandemic was the sole reason for the change; it merely accelerated it. Excessive reliance on artificial intelligence and data analytics due to the intermittent lockdowns and social distancing resulted in the advancement of certain segments within the industry on virtual platforms. The changes bring forth a more revolutionary side to branding and design that could assist with Singapore’s development and progression in the creative field.

Key Statistics

  • E-commerce platforms in Singapore experienced 23% growth in total web visits (desktop & mobile web) throughout the first half of 2020.
  • Some 50% of Singaporeans between ages 18 and 24 chose brands that would communicate through advertisements that cropped up on social media platforms, whereas 36% preferred online video content.
