CREATIP Wins Gold at Campaign 2025

CREATIP, a prominent independent digital marketing agency based in South Korea, has made waves in the industry by clinching the prestigious Gold award for Independent Agency of the Year at the Agency of the Year (AOY) awards in 2025, organized by Campaign. This recognition highlights not only their outstanding performance in campaign results but also their impressive business growth, strategic excellence, creativity, culture, and regional expansion.

The AOY awards assess agencies comprehensively, looking beyond just campaign outcomes to include various aspects like operational effectiveness and leadership. CREATIP's victory in this highly competitive category marks a significant milestone in the marketing sector across the Asia-Pacific region.

Assessing the Impact of CREATIP

In the past few years, CREATIP has demonstrated robust independent operational capabilities, financial stability, and a strong proficiency in integrated marketing strategies, particularly with a keen digital focus. For the Performance Marketing category, the agency was lauded for its data-driven media execution, ROI-centered strategies, and AI-based optimization processes, which consistently delivered remarkable results for brands seeking to penetrate or expand within the South Korean, Japanese, and broader Asian markets.

Since its inception, CREATIP has been a frequent contender at the AOY awards, showcasing its achievements in influencer marketing and social media marketing in previous iterations. The 2025 ceremony solidifies CREATIP's standing as one of South Korea's leading performance marketing agencies, especially after being officially certified by NAVER. This certification has allowed the agency to enhance its expertise in NAVER's advertising and marketing management, employing data and AI optimizations to provide even stronger outcomes for brands entering the Korean market.

Expanding Regional Influence

CREATIP has continued to expand its presence across Asia, notably by establishing a new office in Japan in 2023. Looking forward, the agency has plans to inaugurate yet another office in Taipei, Taiwan, by January 2026. This strategic move is set to bolster access to essential Asian markets and fortify collaborations with regional partners. With operational hubs in South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, CREATIP is constructing a network that spans the Asia-Pacific to deliver localized creative solutions, influencer strategies, social content, and performance marketing tailored to specific regional needs.

Deukil (Daniel) Kong, founder and CEO of CREATIP, stated, "Winning Gold as the Independent Agency of the Year validates that CREATIP has evolved into a globally recognized marketing agency with substantial influence in the Asian market. As we expand from Japan to Taiwan, our aim is to become the most effective and reliable partner for global brands entering the markets of Korea, Japan, and the broader APAC region."

As of now, CREATIP continues to support global brands looking to enter the Korean marketplace, expand into Japan, or efficiently market across the APAC region. The agency offers comprehensive integrated marketing solutions, focusing on influencer collaboration, social content strategy, brand positioning, and performance-driven growth strategies.

This recognition is not only a testament to their strategic focus and capabilities but also reflects their commitment to helping brands navigate the complexities of the Asian marketing landscape effectively.
