The first in our new webinar series: Success Stories in ASEAN

fst is an integrated creative services agency, established in 1991. Their work encompasses branding, creative campaigns, corporate videos, motion graphics and animations, social media, design and production of marketing collateral, web design and build.They are primarily a B2B agency, working with brands such as Avis, Canon Europe and Visa.

Over time, they found themselves increasingly providing work for clients’ international offices and audiences. They saw there was future potential for the growth and development of this area of their work and so in 2008 attended a ‘Passport for Export’ course, provided by UKTI (now operating as DIT).

In 2010, one of their largest clients, Visa, relocated a large tranche of their business operations to Singapore. As a procurement-approved supplier, they were told there were opportunities for them if they could reach out and service this office, so they investigated the possibilities and opened their first overseas office in 2011. This has been great for the business in a number of ways and in August 2016 they opened a second international office in Miami.
