Connecting Brands to Beyond.

We move the needle for brand titans through industry-defining brand experiences.

Global creative agency specializing in world-class brands.

About

Iconic brands aren’t born - but crafted through inspiration, influence, and impact.

At Branding Records, we’re an award-winning creative agency that’s spent the last decade moving the needle for brand titans such as The Coca-Cola Company, Swire Properties, Ralph Lauren, Emirates, Lululemon, and more.

How do we do it? It’s part art, part science, and part something else - that indefinable quality alternatively known as vision, insight, and innovation.

We got our start building brands in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and over the past ten years, we’ve developed a truly global network of creative leaders, visionaries, and specialists.

During that time, we’ve honed our approach to creating industry-defining brand experiences on four main pillars: strategy, design, marketing, and implementation.

1

Creative strategies for fast-growing brands

Best-in-class branding starts with expert strategy. We set our clients up for success with a roadmap that combines data-driven insights and a winning creative vision that leads the way. The result? A unified solution that ignites imaginations and puts brands on the map.
