Best Content Studios in Singapore (2026)

Introduction

The 7 content studios below all make brand content from Singapore in 2026. Four belong to media owners (SPH Media, Mediacorp, TSL Media Group and Mothership) and sell articles, video and social formats to brands alongside their own audiences. The other three are OGS, a regional storytelling channel with its own studio arm, the production and post house Edit Lounge, and the podcast agency WEAREFUDGE.

Singapore’s branded content market is shaped by its two big media groups. SPH Content Lab won a 2026 Content Marketing Award for Past Present Future, a year-long SG60 programme in which a different advertiser owned each month’s theme, and in October 2026 it released CONNECTED, a 24-episode microdrama sponsored by Singtel. Mediacorp has run branded micro-dramas through its radio brands and signed a content and advertising partnership with Moove Media and SBS Transit in July 2026. Short vertical series, multi-language content and podcasts are all growing formats in the city.

Studios were chosen for recent brand work and a Singapore base shown on their own pages or in trade coverage. Fewer studios could be verified than in larger markets, so the list stops at 7. It is unranked, because the right studio depends on format, audience and how often you need new material.

The best content studios in Singapore

Part of SPH Media · Singapore · sph.com.sg

SPH Content Lab is SPH Media’s branded content studio. It sits within the content and solutioning division led by Phin Wong, who earlier founded and ran Mediacorp’s Brand Studio. The studio makes native and sponsored content across SPH Media’s news, lifestyle and radio platforms, in several languages and formats, from long-form articles and video to social posts, radio capsules and print inserts.

Its Past Present Future programme for SG60 won Best Use of Native Advertising/Sponsored Content at the Content Marketing Institute’s 2026 Content Marketing Awards. In October 2026 it launched CONNECTED, a horror-comedy microdrama drawing on Singapore folklore, with Singtel as sponsor and Edit Lounge and Gengis AI as production partners. It runs on STOMP, HardwareZone and Singtel’s social channels.

2. Mediacorp

National broadcaster · Singapore · mediacorp.sg

Mediacorp is Singapore’s national broadcaster, with TV, radio, CNA and a set of digital brands. It has sold branded content to advertisers for years, first through Brand Studio and from 2019 through Creative Central, a unit set up for clients’ creative and content marketing needs. Its talent pool and radio brands are part of the offer: YES 933 produced “Falling for the CEO’s Son”, a branded vertical micro-drama for the yuu Rewards Club, for social release.

In 2026 Mediacorp added commercial products around its content. It launched a transaction-based media measurement solution with Mastercard in February and signed an MOU with Moove Media and SBS Transit in July to run curated content and integrated advertising across MRT stations and bus interchanges. Ask which team will produce your work, as the branded content unit’s current name and structure are not set out on its public pages.

3. TSL Media Group

Brands named in its advertising materials include Canon, Singtel, Amazon and Scoot, and Grab partnered on its Netflix reality series “One Week Love”.

Its draw is reach among working-age Singaporeans and a house voice that readers recognise. Mothership does not publish a client list on its advertising page, so ask for recent examples in your category and for how sponsored pieces are labelled.

What to look for in a Singapore content studio

Start with where the content will run. Publisher and broadcaster studios such as SPH Content Lab, Mediacorp, TSL Media Group and Mothership sell production and audience together, so part of the fee buys placement on their titles and channels. Independent studios such as Edit Lounge and WEAREFUDGE make the content and leave distribution to you or your media agency. Agree what placement, promotion and labelling come with a publisher deal, and for how long.

Check language and format range early. Singapore campaigns often need English, Chinese and Malay versions, and SPH Media’s SG60 programme ran across several languages and platforms. Short vertical drama has grown quickly, with both SPH Media and Mediacorp producing sponsored microdramas. If you need more than one format, ask which the studio makes in-house and which it subcontracts.

Look at how one shoot becomes many assets. Ongoing content depends on getting vertical cuts, clips, audiograms and stills from each recording day. Ask for a recent example where one session fed several channels, and agree the deliverables list before production starts.

Finally, ask how footage, transcripts and feedback are kept between productions. A studio making a monthly series or a weekly podcast builds up a large library of rushes, raw audio and approved edits. Find out where that library lives, whether you can search and reuse it, and how comments and approvals are recorded.

How Fabric helps content studio teams

Fabric gives a content team one workspace for footage, audio, scripts, briefs and client feedback, with AI search across all of it. The setup for content creation teams keeps each client’s assets, plans and approvals together.

Footage and session files sit in Fabric’s cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space, and heavy video files open without a full download. Uploaded interviews and podcast recordings are transcribed and searchable, and search results jump to the timestamp where something was said. That helps when a producer needs every clip of a guest mentioning one topic, or a quote for a social cut. There is more on this in where is that B-roll.

For a recurring series, any folder can become a kanban board whose cards are the files themselves, moving from script to edit to approved. Finished episodes and cuts can be published as a web page with password protection, and link analytics shows when each named reviewer opened them and for how long.

Clients can leave threaded comments on any file through a shared link without an account. Reviewers can leave timestamped comments on video and audio and draw on any video frame. Comments also work on PDFs and documents such as scripts, run sheets and storyboards.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.
