How to choose the right advertising agency in Singapore
The best advertising agency depends on what you are actually trying to do:
- Define the goal. Brand awareness and creative call for a different agency than lead generation and sales.
- Match the model to your stage. SMEs usually get more from a performance or full-funnel agency; large brands may need a creative network.
- Check measurement and ownership. You should own your ad accounts and see clear reporting on cost per result, not just reach.
- Look at relevant work. Ask for results from businesses like yours, in your channels.
- Consider grants. A PSG pre-approved vendor can help eligible SMEs offset qualifying advertising and marketing costs.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an advertising agency cost in Singapore?
Management retainers typically run from SGD 1,000 to SGD 5,000+ per month on top of your media budget, depending on channels and scope. Creative and brand campaigns are priced separately by project.
What is the difference between an advertising agency and a digital marketing agency?
An advertising agency focuses on paid campaigns and, in the case of creative agencies, brand work. A digital marketing agency usually covers a wider mix, including SEO, content and web. Many agencies, including MediaPlus, do both.
Should an SME hire a big creative agency or a performance agency?
Most SMEs get better returns from a performance or full-funnel agency that ties spend to leads and sales. Large creative networks suit brands with big budgets and brand-building goals.
Can I claim PSG funding for advertising?
Eligible Singapore SMEs can receive up to 50% PSG support for qualifying digital marketing solutions through a pre-approved vendor.
