About
Creativeans {pronounced Cre-a-ti-veans | kriːˈeɪti:/ vi.ən/}
Creativeans is an interdisciplinary design and branding consultancy based in Singapore, Milan and Jakarta. Our mission is to make the world a more creative place.
Business leaders trust us to solve their strategic and creative challenges: from branding, business innovation, product design, service design, packaging design to communication design, across all industries and regions. Guided by our systematic approach and methodologies such as BrandBuilder™ and BrandIntel™, we work with mid size companies, small start ups and family owned businesses to create enduring brands.
Our Business Model
We’ve developed a business model that enables us to work with a wide variety of clients & partners on a diverse set of engagements.
Collaborative Engagement
We help businesses craft brands through project-based and retainer collaborations. Through our interdisciplinary approach, we ensure that the work we do can be effectively incubated and activated for our clients.
Strategic Partnership
Ground-up brand building and design development with smaller and early stage companies, we develop true partnerships with entrepreneurs where cash fees are reduced and a royalty/equity arrangement is put in place.
Creative Incubation
We design and conduct programmes to equip organisations with the knowledge and tools to grow their in-house creative strength. From our best creative minds, we teach our methodologies to the wider community.
Recognition
“Creativeans is moving closer toward its goal of establishing Singapore as an emerging creative hotbed, encouraging exchanges between international consumers and Singaporean designers.” – Surface Asia Mag
