Branding agencies in Singapore

The short answer

  1. 01

    Pick the right type of agency. A global brand consultancy, a design studio and a brand-plus-marketing firm suit very different projects.

  2. 02

    Decide how big the change is. A full rebrand, a refresh and a brand extension need different budgets and timelines.

  3. 03

    Plan for the website early. Your new brand will be seen online first, so make sure the guidelines work on screens.

The right branding agency depends on how big the change is and what kind of business you run. A global consultancy, a design studio and a brand-plus-marketing firm approach the same brief very differently.

Below are 22 Singapore agencies grouped by what they are best at, with what each one offers and what to ask before you brief them.

What a brand project should hand over

Checklist of what a branding project should deliver: strategy and positioning, messaging and tone of voice, logo in all formats, colours and typography, imagery style, brand guidelines, templates, digital guidelines, source files and copyright
Agree the deliverables in the proposal, so you can compare agencies like for like.

How your brand carries into your website

Most people will meet your new brand online first, so the identity needs to work on screens as well as on paper. Ask your agency about these before the guidelines are final:

Checklist for carrying a brand into a website: digital colour values and contrast, web font licences, SVG logo and favicon, image style for the web, buttons and interface elements, tone of voice for the website, motion, accessibility and a handover to the web team
These details decide whether a new brand looks right on your website.

If your branding agency does not design websites, plan the handover early. We often join projects once the identity is agreed and turn the guidelines into a working website design.

Names, trademarks and ownership

Before you commit to a new name or logo, search the IPOS trademark register for anything similar in your business category, and consider registering the mark once it is final.

Make sure the contract assigns copyright in the identity to your company on final payment, and that you receive the source files and any font licences in your name.

How to choose a branding agency

  1. Check the work. Look for case studies that show the problem, the thinking and the result, not just the final logo.
  2. Match the type. Use the table above to choose between a consultancy, a studio or a brand-plus-marketing firm.
  3. Ask about the process. Research, strategy, design, refinement and guidelines, with sign-off at each stage.
  4. Agree deliverables and ownership. Everything you will receive, and who owns it.
  5. Plan the rollout. Signage, packaging, social media and the website each need time and budget.

Grants

Some branding work can be supported by government grants. Schemes change from time to time, so check the current rules on GoBusiness and ask the agency in writing whether your project qualifies.

How we chose these agencies

Every agency here offers branding, has a Singapore presence, and has a working website that describes its services clearly enough to compare fairly. Each entry is written only from what the agency’s own website says. We re-check this list every quarter.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a branding agency cost in Singapore?

It depends on scope: research and strategy, naming, the number of identity elements, how many applications are designed (signage, packaging, website), and how many markets the brand covers. Ask agencies to quote against the same brief and list what each phase delivers.

How long does a branding project take?

A refresh is usually quicker than a full rebrand, which includes research, strategy and testing before the identity is designed. Ask each agency for its stages and a timeline with sign-off points.

What is the difference between a rebrand and a refresh?

A refresh updates how your brand looks, such as the logo, colours and typography, while keeping its positioning. A rebrand changes what the brand stands for and often its name or story, as well as the visual identity.

What should I receive at the end of a branding project?

Typically brand strategy and positioning, the logo in all formats, colour palette and typography, brand guidelines, templates for common materials, and the source files, with copyright assigned to your company.

Do I need to register a trademark for my new brand?

It is wise to search the IPOS trademark register before you commit to a name or logo, and to consider registering it once the identity is final. Your branding agency can advise, but legal registration is usually done by you or an IP agent.

Will my branding agency also design my website?

Some do. Many branding agencies create the identity and guidelines, then work with a web design agency to design and build the site. Ask early how the website will be handled, so the brand works well on screens.
