APRW opened its first overseas office in Jakarta in 2020 and marked 30 years in business in 2026.

3. AKA Asia

Founded in 2009 by Kate O'Shea and Amy Wright, AKA Asia built a reputation for fearlessly creative, integrated campaigns before Publicis Groupe acquired it in 2024. Under CEO Leya Teo, the agency now sits inside Publicis's regional Influence practice alongside MSL Asia Pacific, while retaining its own culture and client roster, which includes Spotify, Levi's, McKinsey, and GIC. AKA was named Singapore PR Agency of the Year by Campaign Asia in 2025.

4. Ellerton & Co.

Founded in 2014 by Oliver Ellerton, a former Ritz-Carlton and Marriott International PR lead in Malaysia, Ellerton & Co. has grown from a one-person operation into a Greater Southeast Asia network with teams in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India, and Japan, plus existing offices in Singapore and Vietnam. The agency's client roster spans technology, financial services, travel, and aviation, including recent mandates for Ethiopian Airlines and VFS Global across ASEAN.

5. H/Advisors Klareco

Klareco was relaunched in 2017 when CEO Ang Shih-Huei and managing director Mark Worthington bought the Singapore operation out from the defunct UK consultancy Bell Pottinger. Havas acquired the firm in 2023, folding it into its H/Advisors corporate and financial network as H/Advisors Klareco, which now advises on some of Singapore's largest financial transactions and maintains operations across a dozen Asia-Pacific markets.

6. Tate Anzur

Founded in 2011 and led by founder and director Yvonne Li, Tate Anzur is an independent strategic communications agency built around brand storytelling and stakeholder engagement. The firm has worked with Google and the LEGO Group and won Southeast Asia PR Agency of the Year honors in 2017.

The agency's client roster includes Meta, Shopify, Disney Plus, Subway, and Wise, and it handled media relations for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in Singapore.

8. Ruder Finn Asia (Singapore)

Ruder Finn's Singapore office was established in 1996 as the Southeast Asian arm of New York-based Ruder Finn, whose Asia-Pacific division dates to 1989. The Singapore practice specializes in luxury, healthcare, corporate, finance, and crisis work, and the agency's broader Asia network now employs more than 700 consultants across Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the Indian subcontinent in addition to Singapore.

9. DIFY Singapore

DIFY is a Singapore-headquartered agency specializing in blockchain, fintech, and crypto communications, positioning itself as Southeast Asia's leading Web3 PR and marketing shop. The agency runs public relations, digital marketing, events, and social advertising for clients including Disney and the Binance x Paxos partnership, reflecting Singapore's role as a regional hub for digital-asset regulation and licensing under the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

10. Edelman Singapore

Edelman's Singapore entity was incorporated in 1983, part of the global Edelman network founded by Daniel Edelman in Chicago in 1952 and still run as the world's largest independent, family-controlled PR firm. The Singapore office serves local corporate and government organizations alongside multinational clients, with depth in corporate reputation, crisis, consumer brand, financial services, and health communications.

11. PRecious Communications

Founded in 2012 by Lars Voedisch at the start of Southeast Asia's startup wave, PRecious Communications grew from a one-person Singapore outfit into a regional consultancy with offices in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, and partners across Australia, the Philippines, and Vietnam through the GlobalCom PR Network. Specialist teams cover corporate, government, startup, and technology communications for clients including Experian, AppsFlyer, and Validus Capital.

How to Choose Among Them

Match the PR agency to the client profile rather than to size alone. Mileage, APRW, and Edelman Singapore suit large corporates, government-linked entities, and IPO-stage companies that need deep local regulatory fluency. AKA Asia, Mutant, and Ruder Finn Asia fit consumer, lifestyle, and luxury brands that need creative campaign execution. Ellerton & Co. and PRecious Communications are built for brands expanding across multiple Southeast Asian markets at once, with existing teams on the ground rather than fly-in coverage. H/Advisors Klareco is the default for financial transactions and capital-markets work. DIFY Singapore is the specialist choice for blockchain, fintech, and digital-asset clients navigating MAS licensing requirements. Tate Anzur suits brands prioritizing a smaller, senior-led team over a large regional network. For pricing context, see EPR's PR firm cost guide.

Why does Singapore anchor Asia-Pacific communications?

Singapore anchors Asia-Pacific communications because it concentrates regional headquarters in a small, well-regulated city. It has six million people and roughly half a trillion dollars in GDP, yet it hosts about 59 percent of Asia-Pacific regional headquarters for technology multinationals, according to the Singapore Economic Development Board. Most of those companies plan their regional communications, investor relations and crisis response from the same district.

Rule of law, English-default administration, a competitive tax base, a multilingual talent pool and connectivity through Changi Airport make Singapore the default base for Asia-Pacific communications planning, ahead of Hong Kong for regional, multilingual and regulator-facing work. For Greater China mandates, see EPR's Hong Kong PR firms ranking and PR agencies in China.

How does Singapore's government communicate?

Singapore's government communicates with one voice from cabinet, with communications staff embedded in every ministry and English as the administrative default alongside simultaneous Mandarin, Malay and Tamil translation. Lawrence Wong became Prime Minister on May 15, 2024, the first not named Lee or Goh, and his People's Action Party won a renewed mandate on May 3, 2025 with 65.57 percent of the vote and 87 of 97 parliamentary seats, up from 61.24 percent in 2020.

Which companies anchor Singapore's corporate reputation?

Temasek, GIC, DBS and Singapore Airlines anchor Singapore's corporate reputation, and their reputations are treated as strategic assets. Temasek reported a net portfolio value of S$434 billion as of March 31, 2025, up S$45 billion, with direct stakes in DBS, Singapore Airlines and Singtel. Check Temasek's latest annual review for the current figure.

GIC manages the country's foreign reserves, and Global SWF estimated its assets above US$936 billion in 2025, making it the world's seventh-largest sovereign wealth fund. DBS, Southeast Asia's largest bank by assets, is led by Tan Su Shan, who succeeded Piyush Gupta as CEO on March 28, 2025. Singapore Airlines ranked second globally behind Qatar Airways in the 2025 Skytrax awards.

Who regulates financial communications in Singapore?

The Monetary Authority of Singapore, established in 1971 as both central bank and integrated financial regulator, regulates financial communications, so any financial communications strategy for a company operating in Singapore is in practice a strategy for how MAS perceives it. It is chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, reappointed to a term running to May 31, 2029, and Managing Director Chia Der Jiun took over operational leadership on January 1, 2024, succeeding Ravi Menon. Its statements are read closely in Tokyo, Hong Kong, London and New York.
