Best Creative Agencies in Jakarta (2026)

Introduction

Jakarta is Indonesia’s agency centre, and the eight creative agencies below are a mix of independents, local groups and integrated idea shops with active Jakarta offices in 2026. They were chosen for recent work, 2025 and 2026 recognition, and the strength of their client rosters.

Much of the city’s creative energy now sits outside the big networks. Former network leaders have set up their own groups: Feel Good Network was started by the team that ran Dentsu Creative Indonesia, and Moonfolks began as M&C Saatchi Indonesia before its founder bought it out. Smaller shops are winning on the regional stage too. TU7UH Creative Lab was named Indonesia’s Agency of the Year by Market at Spikes Asia 2026. Client demand still follows the usual Indonesian pattern of FMCG, banking, telecoms and ride-hailing, with Ramadan and Lebaran as the busiest season, and most work runs in both Bahasa Indonesia and English.

Every agency here has a Jakarta office in 2026. Network flagships such as Ogilvy, Dentsu Creative and Hakuhodo appear on our list of advertising agencies instead. The list runs in no fixed order of merit, since the right choice depends on your brief, budget and how you like to work.

The best creative agencies in Jakarta

1. Moonfolks

Independent · Kebayoran Baru · moonfolks.com

Moonfolks is an independent integrated agency headquartered at Menara Sentraya in Kebayoran Baru. It started life as M&C Saatchi Indonesia; founder and group CEO Anish Daryani bought the business and rebranded it, and in its first independent year it reported full client retention, 13 new accounts and six Agency of the Year titles at Campaign’s awards. In 2025 it formed Havas Moonfolks, a media alliance with Havas Media Network that brought Havas’s Jakarta media team into its office, while Moonfolks itself stays independent.

The client list is broad: TikTok, PermataBank, Unilever, XL Axiata, Grab, Mastercard, Pertamina and Sampoerna have all worked with the agency, and Suzuki Indonesia appointed it to its creative brand mandate after a multi-agency pitch. It has recently expanded into Brunei and Vietnam, and in September 2026 it named Puja Komariah, formerly of Dwi Sapta, general manager in Jakarta. Specialist units cover PR and influencer work (Moonfolks Echo) and shopper marketing (Moonfolks Shopex).

2. TU7UH Creative Lab

Independent · Jakarta · tu7uhcreativelab.com

TU7UH Creative Lab is a small brand and advertising agency led by founder and chief creative officer Andreas Tu7uh. It works with a flat structure, with each creative working directly on projects rather than through layers of approval. Spikes Asia named it Agency of the Year by Market for Indonesia in 2026, and its “Honda Rest Area” work earned a D&AD Wood Pencil.

Featured projects include Gojek’s “Bersama, Pasti Ada Jalan”, “#NoBlablaDiBlibli” for Blibli, “Pindahin Gaji ke OCTO” and Oatside’s “#AhlinyaOatmilk”. It suits brands that want senior creative attention on a single idea.

3. Feel Good Network

Feel Good Network is a Jakarta group launched in 2025 by Wisnu Satya Putra, who previously led Dentsu Creative Indonesia, the agency that took Agency of the Year at Citra Pariwara 2025. It is built as a network of specialist units rather than a single agency: Innercircle leads on brand building and creative development, BRICKS on full-funnel and performance creativity, and Tales Asia, which has expanded into Malaysia, sits alongside social, creator, content, media and data teams.

In August 2026 the group acquired Lèngua, a social-first creative agency that has run more than 40 Grab Indonesia campaigns since 2024 and took nine wins at the 2026 Hashtag Asia Awards. Innercircle’s past work includes Pizza Hut, Mead Johnson, VinFast, Indofood and Lion Wings.

4. Flock

It is the founding creative agency of Future Creative Network (FCN), which Hadywibowo now runs as CEO, alongside sister agencies such as ROVERS Creative and Wonderlab. Nikken Diahtantri is managing director.

Tokopedia and Djarum were its earliest large accounts, and BCA and Tehbotol Sosro have also worked with the agency. In June 2026 Arsyad returned from Ogilvy Indonesia as executive creative director, with a remit that includes shaping how the agency uses AI in its creative work.

5. LUP

Recent work includes Zoya’s “Make Your Choice” campaign and “The Tire Quotes Campaign” for BFGoodrich Indonesia. The agency says awards are not its main objective, so judge it on the work.

6. Iris Jakarta

Part of Iris Worldwide · Kuningan · iris-worldwide.com

Iris Jakarta is the Indonesian office of the global Iris creative network, based in Generali Tower at Rasuna Epicentrum in Kuningan and led by president director David Wibowo. It combines brand strategy and digital campaigns with CRM and loyalty work and a large on-ground activation operation.

The office lists a Dragons of Asia Blue Dragon for FiberCreme’s “Let’s Be Friends Again”, Citra Pariwara metals for Gold’s Gym and First Media radio work, and a loyalty award for Lactogrow. Its pro bono “Safe Behind Door” campaign for LBH APIK Jakarta also won at Citra Pariwara.

8. Fortune Indonesia

Fortune Indonesia is a long-established local agency group, founded in 1970 and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (ticker FORU). It runs integrated advertising and public relations from Menara BCA, covering brand consultancy, media planning and buying, events, social media and crisis and investor relations.

Its scale and long history make it a practical choice for state enterprises and large domestic companies that want creative, PR and media handled by one group. Anirudh Misra is president director, and the creative department is run by group heads Gregorius Murdianto and Sonny Atma Keswani.

What to look for in a Jakarta creative agency

Start with ownership and structure. Several of the strongest Jakarta independents are now small groups, with separate units for creative, social, activation and production. That can give you one point of contact for a whole campaign, but ask which unit will lead your account and who signs off the work.

Check how the agency handles the calendar. Ramadan and Lebaran campaigns are briefed months ahead and carry most of the year’s budget for many FMCG, telecoms and banking clients. An agency that has run several Lebaran cycles will plan production, talent and approvals around the fasting month without leaving it to the last few weeks.

Ask about language and culture. Most Jakarta work is made in Bahasa Indonesia, with English versions for regional teams, and the best ideas often depend on local slang, humour or regional identity. Look at past work in both languages, and ask who writes the Indonesian copy.

Finally, look at how the agency runs the day-to-day: where files live, how feedback is gathered from client teams in Jakarta and regional offices, and how approvals are tracked. Bilingual campaigns multiply versions quickly, and a clear review process with one place to find the latest cut or layout saves a lot of time over a long relationship.

How Fabric helps creative agency teams

Fabric gives an agency one workspace for its files, client feedback and team knowledge, with AI search across all of it. Agencies running several accounts can follow the agency setup: one space per client, with briefs, assets, decks and call notes kept together.

Large production 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. Search works by meaning across documents, images, PDFs and transcribed recordings, so a team can find last year’s Lebaran concept or a talent call by describing it. Similar search surfaces related visuals from a single reference image.

Client review runs through sharing. Share a file or folder with the client as a commenter and they can respond without creating an account, using annotations: timestamped comments on video and audio, drawings on a video frame or image with a comment attached, and highlights on PDFs and documents. The team marks each comment completed as it is dealt with, so a feedback round works like a checklist. The review and approval page walks through the workflow.

For final delivery, any file or folder can be published as a web page, which is view-only, with password protection where needed. Link analytics shows when each named recipient opened a link and how long they spent with it. On Team plans, self-writing docs keep a page for each client covering decisions, deliverables and open items, drawn from meetings, Slack and the workspace.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans, and self-writing docs on Team plans. See plans for teams.

Yes. Most agencies here work in both Bahasa Indonesia and English, and many run campaigns for regional teams in Singapore or across Southeast Asia.
