Six tests to use on any shortlist

Many guides judge firms on design awards. Awards show craft, but they do not tell you whether a firm can fix a positioning problem. These six tests do. Use them on any shortlist, including ours.

Test	Why it matters	How to check
1. Research depth	A strategy built on opinion is hard to defend in a board meeting.	Ask what research happens before positioning: customer interviews, surveys, competitor audits. Ask how many people they will speak to.
2. Accredited consultants	Enterprise Singapore asks for the vendor’s SS 680 certification for EDGE activities such as International Branding. Certification also means a consultant has been assessed independently.	Ask for the certificate type (RMC, PMC or SCMC), the number and the name of the person who holds it. Check the public register.
3. Who leads the work	Senior people often win the pitch while junior staff do the work.	Ask who will run the workshops and sign off the strategy, by name.
4. Strategy and execution under one roof	Meaning gets lost when a strategy firm hands over to a separate design studio.	Ask whether the same team takes the strategy into identity, packaging, website and digital work.
5. Regional reach	A brand for Singapore and Indonesia needs people who understand both markets.	Ask where the team is based and to see work in your target markets.
6. Published method and proof	A written method can be checked. Opinions cannot.	Ask to see the method, case studies and named clients.

 

1. Creativeans

Creativeans is a brand strategy and design consultancy based in Singapore, Milan and Jakarta, founded in 2012. It has built 300+ brands. It is led by its two co-founders: Managing Director Kimming Yap, a Registered Management Consultant (RMC), and Director Yulia Saksen, a Certified Management Consultant (CMC).

How Creativeans meets the six tests:

• Research depth: Creativeans works with BrandBuilder®, its five-stage method. It starts with a brand audit of the business, customers, competitors and market, and the strategy is agreed before any design work begins. For InstaProtection, a brand audit, competitor research and customer interviews led to the new positioning “Your Pocket Guardian”.
• Accredited consultants: Kimming Yap is a Registered Management Consultant (RMC) with the Institute of Management Consultants (Singapore). Yulia Saksen is a Certified Management Consultant (CMC). Creativeans’ EDGE projects are led by Kimming Yap.
• Who leads the work: one of the two co-founders personally leads the strategy and direction of every project.
• Strategy and execution under one roof: the same team takes the strategy into identity, packaging, websites, spaces and rollout.
• Regional reach: teams in Singapore, Milan and Jakarta. InstaProtection’s brand was built for digital users in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Creativeans also created the brand identity for Rasa Indonesia, a culinary brand platform of Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade.
• Published method and proof: BrandBuilder® is a registered trade mark in Singapore. It is set out in the book Are You Brand Dead?, by Kimming Yap, Yulia Saksen and writer Judy Tham.

Selected work:

• B2B and industrial: VOREL, renamed from NOKS Offshore and repositioned as a supply chain solutions partner; tesa, a global adhesive tape brand, across its APAC touchpoints; Davco, a building and construction materials brand; and a global rebrand for InfraCo Asia, an infrastructure development and investment company.
• Long-established brands: Pek Sin Choon, one of Singapore’s oldest tea merchants, established in 1925; Meiko Tailor, a bespoke tailor founded in 1977; and Farmer Brand, a food producer with over 50 years of history.
• Southeast Asia: InstaProtection across five markets; Rasa Indonesia; and MiCha, a kombucha brand built for retail across Southeast Asia.

Recognition: Kimming Yap is Vice President of the Design Business Chamber Singapore and was named in Campaign Asia’s 40 Under 40 in 2025. Yulia Saksen is a Council Member of the Institute of Management Consultants (Singapore).

• If you are a culture-led lifestyle brand that wants a highly distinctive identity, Foreign Policy focuses on that work.
• If you are a large regional organisation that wants offices across Asia Pacific, DIA Brand Consultants has offices in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
• If you are a large Asian company that wants brand and sustainability work together, Sedgwick Richardson offers both.

What a brand consultancy costs in Singapore

Prices vary widely because “branding” can mean a new logo or a full repositioning. Creativeans publishes the ranges below in its 2026 pricing guide. They are our own estimates of typical prices in the market, not a formal survey.

Scope	Typical range	What it includes
Brand refresh	S$5,000 to S$15,000	An updated logo, colours and typography on a few touchpoints. No research or new positioning.
Brand identity development	S$15,000 to S$40,000	A full identity system and brand guidelines, applied to key touchpoints.
Full brand strategy and identity	S$40,000 to S$80,000	A brand audit, positioning and messaging, then the identity system.
Brand transformation	S$80,000 to S$150,000+	Extensive research, brand architecture, identity and rollout across channels, markets and teams.

At Creativeans, brand strategy projects start from S$30,000, before any grant support.

Can a government grant help?

Yes, if the brand is for an overseas market. Under Enterprise Singapore’s EDGE grant, the International Branding activity supports up to 70% of qualifying costs for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs. The project must be for a specific overseas market. Work aimed at the domestic market is not supported under this activity.

The company must apply itself, before any work starts or any deposit is paid. The vendor must provide its SS 680 certification with the application. International Branding support counts towards a cap of S$100,000 per company per year.
