About

Straits Creative is a digital marketing and creative agency with over fifteen years of experience in developing brands and strategic marketing programs in the US, Singapore, and the Philippines.

Unlike other digital marketing agencies, we are a one-stop-shop from the brand and product strategy to creating and implementing websites and digital marketing programs.

At Straits Creative, we approach every project methodically from the unique perspective of our brands and clients. Each visual design and code we create is deliberate and has a purpose. At the crux of things is a solid marketing foundation, a process-oriented, systematic, and cost-effective approach that ensures we achieve real business results with an emphasis on engagement and conversion.

We take great pride in clearly defining the desired outcomes for each initiative. We measure everything we do so you will see a return on your investment. You should expect a high level of detail and accountability when working with us. Businesses that have partnered with us have grown and have seen significant gains due to our branding and performance marketing programs.

High-performing content is central to digital marketing execution. We embed a strong content strategy across a full stack of digital marketing solutions with conversion at the top of mind.

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO STRATEGY

Right from the start, we define the right strategy to maximise ROI. Let us help you build your marketing strategy by targeting the right audience profile and creating campaigns that can emotionally connect with your potential customers. Our recommendations and decision-making are based on research and consumer insights. We employ research tools that help us properly assess your industry and business. We provide a holistic competitive landscape scan and evaluate your existing online and offline marketing assets versus competition. From there, we will identify key performance indicators to determine the effectiveness of our marketing programs.

BRAND BUILDING IS A DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITY

We create performance-driven programs that clearly articulate your brand story. We monitor marketing programs to uncover opportunities and game-changing ideas by using real-time dashboards and industry best practices such as Google Analytics, Lighthouse, search engines, social media report insights and more. In addition, we use social listening to help improve the content and our programs. We collaborate with our clients to discover new concepts and rediscover business strengths.
