CREATIP Achieves Gold for Independent Agency of the Year at Campaign 2025

CREATIP's Remarkable Achievement at the Campaign 2025 Awards

CREATIP, the prominent independent digital marketing agency based in South Korea, has recently made headlines by winning the coveted Gold award for Independent Agency of the Year at the prestigious Campaign 2025 Agency of the Year (AOY) Awards. In addition to this esteemed honor, the agency also secured a Silver award in the Performance Marketing Agency of the Year category. This recognition, celebrated on December 15, 2025, illustrates CREATIP's significant impact on the marketing landscape across Asia, particularly in Korea and Japan.

The AOY Awards are renowned for evaluating agencies based on extensive criteria that go beyond mere campaign success. Assessment factors include business growth, strategic excellence, creativity, company culture, innovation, and effective leadership. The Gold award for the Independent Agency of the Year is considered one of the most challenging accolades in the Asia-Pacific marketing sector, highlighting CREATIP's remarkable operational capabilities and innovative approach.

CREATIP was honored for its financial stability and integrated marketing expertise, which have become cornerstone attributes of the agency. Its dedication to a digital-first creative method along with data-driven strategies set it apart in the crowded marketplace. The agency’s Performance Marketing category recognition was particularly driven by its effective media execution, focus on return on investment (ROI), innovative AI optimization methods, and consistently impressive results for brands aiming to penetrate or expand within the Korean, Japanese, and broader Asia markets.

Since its inception, CREATIP has enjoyed a streak of recognition from the AOY Awards, accumulating accolades in Influencer Marketing and Social Media Marketing over the years. By adding these latest honors in 2025, CREATIP solidified its reputation as a leader in performance marketing in Korea, further underlined by its recent designation as a NAVER certified agency. This accreditation empowers CREATIP to enhance its expertise in NAVER marketing and NAVER ads management, allowing it to refine its data-driven optimization models, ultimately generating compelling outcomes for brands entering the Korean market.

The agency's focus on expansion has not gone unnoticed as it launched its Japan office in 2023 and is now set to open a new office in Taipei, China, in January 2026. This expansion aims to improve accessibility to vital Asian markets and foster stronger cooperation with regional partners. With hubs established in Korea, Japan, and soon in Taiwan, CREATIP is actively crafting a powerful tri-market framework across the Asia-Pacific region. This framework allows the agency to deliver localized creative content, influencer strategies, social media engagement, and performance marketing solutions tailored to specific regional needs.

Deukil (Daniel) Kong, the Founder and CEO of CREATIP, expressed pride in the agency’s accomplishments, stating, “Our Gold recognition as Independent Agency of the Year confirms that CREATIP has become a truly global marketing agency with significant influence throughout the Asian market.” With these accolades and expansion into new territories, CREATIP aims to position itself as the most effective and reliable partner for global brands seeking market entry in Korea, Japan, and the wider Asia-Pacific.

Continually evolving, CREATIP remains committed to supporting its clientele in navigating the complexities of market entry and expansion—whether they seek to conquer the Korean market or scale up operations across the Asia-Pacific region. As a comprehensive solution provider, CREATIP offers integrated offerings spanning influencer marketing, social media content creation, brand strategy, and overall performance-driven growth.

This latest recognition is not merely an accomplishment; it serves as a testament to CREATIP’s vigorous commitment to innovation and excellence in the rapidly changing world of digital marketing.
