CREATIP Wins Gold for Independent Agency of the Year at Campaign 2025
The Agency of the Year Awards evaluate agencies not only on campaign effectiveness but also on business growth, strategic excellence, creativity, culture, innovation, regional expansion, and leadership. Among all categories, the Gold award for Independent Agency of the Year is considered one of the most competitive and rigorously judged honors in the Asia-Pacific marketing industry.
CREATIP was recognized for its strong independent operations, financial stability, integrated marketing expertise, and digital-first creative approach. In the performance marketing category, the agency received high praise for its data-driven media execution, ROI-focused strategies, AI optimization capabilities, and consistent delivery of outstanding results for brands entering or expanding across South Korea, Japan, and broader Asian markets.
Since 2020, CREATIP has consistently earned recognition at the Agency of the Year Awards, previously winning accolades in influencer marketing and social media marketing categories. In 2025, the agency further solidified its position as a leading performance marketing agency in South Korea, particularly following its official appointment as a NAVER Certified Agency. This enabled CREATIP to expand its expertise in NAVER marketing and advertising management, enhancing its data- and AI-driven optimization models to deliver superior marketing outcomes for brands entering the Korean market.
Following the opening of its Japan office in 2023, CREATIP continues to expand its footprint across Asia. The agency has confirmed plans to open a new office in Taipei, China, in January 2026, enabling better access to key Asian markets and stronger collaboration with regional partners. With offices in South Korea, Japan, and Taipei, CREATIP is building a tri-regional Asia-Pacific network, delivering tailored local creative solutions, influencer strategies, social media content, and performance-driven marketing services.
Deukil (Daniel) Kong, Founder and CEO of CREATIP, said: "Winning the Gold for Independent Agency of the Year confirms that CREATIP has become a truly global marketing agency with strong influence across Asian markets."
"As we expand from Japan to Taipei, our goal is to become the most effective and reliable partner for global brands entering South Korea, Japan, and the wider Asia-Pacific region."
Today, CREATIP continues to support global brands aiming to enter the Korean market, grow their presence in Japan, or establish digital marketing operations across Asia, offering comprehensive solutions spanning influencer marketing, social content, brand strategy, and performance-driven growth.
