Best Creative Agencies in Hong Kong (2026)

Introduction

Hong Kong’s creative agency scene is made up of small independents and brand-led studios working alongside a large group of network offices. The eight agencies below are the independents and integrated shops we could verify as working from the city in 2026, chosen for recent work and the strength of their client rosters.

Network offices took most of the top honours at the HK4As Kam Fan 41 awards in March 2026: Leo Hong Kong was Creative Agency of the Year and BBDO Hong Kong won the Grand Kam Fan for McDonald’s “Back to the Beginning”. Independents compete for the same clients in luxury, hospitality, property and finance, and Omelette Digital, listed here, took a silver and two bronzes at the same awards. Much of the work runs across English and Cantonese, with Mandarin for mainland China and regional accounts.

Every agency here has a Hong Kong office in 2026. Network offices are covered on our advertising agencies page. 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 Hong Kong

1. ANON

Independent · Causeway Bay · anon.com.hk

ANON describes itself as an independent ideas agency and keeps a deliberately low profile. Thinking, creative, design, copy and production are handled in-house, with partners brought in when a project needs them, and the agency says it has no strict layers or teams. It won gold for Boutique Agency of the Year at MARKETING-INTERACTIVE’s Hong Kong awards in 2017.

Swire Properties is a long-running presence in the portfolio, with work including “50 Years of Swire Properties” and Pacific Place’s Christmas campaigns. Other projects include the Netflix launch of Black Mirror season five, Sotheby’s En Route and the Glenmorangie Tasting Chamber. The site does not date its projects, so ask to see the most recent work.

2. Omelette Digital

Independent · Hong Kong · omelette.digital

Omelette Digital is a local creative and digital agency that Campaign Asia described as an “indie agency” when it took the Grand Kam Fan for its work with Oriental Watch Company. At Kam Fan 41 in 2026 it won a silver and two bronzes, one of the few non-network names in the results.

Its recent work for Uber Hong Kong includes “11 years, always by your side” (October 2025), which combined dashcam-style films made with the YouTube channel Trial & Error and a pop-up newsstand on Queen’s Road Central. It is also credited alongside Special Group on Uber Taxi’s “Skip The Kung Fu 2.0”, which was among the winning work at the DigiZ Awards Hong Kong 2026. Earlier clients include Royal Canin and pandamart.

3. DASH

Founded in Hong Kong in 2005 · Lai Chi Kok · dash.com.hk

DASH is a design-centric creative agency with a small team working across branding, design, advertising and integrated marketing. It takes on both multinational companies and start-ups, and has kept a steady line of seasonal and campaign work for luxury and hospitality brands.

Recent projects include a Chinese New Year 2026 red packet set, greeting card and animated stickers for Cartier, and Chinese New Year 2025 materials for Chow Tai Fook. Its client list also covers Cathay Pacific, HSBC Life, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, Sino Land and Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts.

4. BaseCreate

Hong Kong headquarters, founded 2003 · Wan Chai · basecreate.com

BaseCreate (also listed as BASE) calls itself a creative agency collaborating with brands on strategy, design and experience. Alongside Hong Kong it lists offices in France, Germany and New Zealand. Branding sits at the centre of the work, and it also takes on websites and packaging.

Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts appointed it in 2026 to develop a new flagship website, and Hodel Switzerland appointed it in 2025 for a repositioning project in the pearl industry. Other clients include Mandarin Oriental, De Beers, Bank of East Asia, Standard Chartered and TENCEL. The roster suits hospitality and luxury clients looking for a single partner across brand and digital.

5. Branding Records

Part of House of Records Group · Sheung Wan · brandingrecords.com

Branding Records is a creative branding and digital marketing agency with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Milan, part of the House of Records Group. Its services run from market entry and strategy through brand, China marketing, digital growth and retail experience. The agency lists recognition from the Transform Awards Asia and MARKETING-INTERACTIVE’s Agency of the Year awards.

Named clients include The Coca-Cola Company, Swire Properties, Ralph Lauren, Emirates and Lululemon. Recent work on its site includes a HOKA Bondi 9 pop-up in Causeway Bay, Tiffany & Co. China travel marketing and social growth for Nespresso in Hong Kong. It is a useful option for international brands that need Hong Kong and mainland China handled together.

6. heydaysss

Women-owned · Causeway Bay · heydaysss.com

heydaysss is a small design, creative and digital marketing agency that has worked in the Hong Kong and China markets since 2008. It covers digital strategy, website development, social media and art direction, and has won a bronze DigiZ Award for Best User Generated Campaign with Oliver’s Super Sandwiches.

Its portfolio includes motion graphics for Hong Kong Tourism Board and HKTDC, an Octopus key visual and landing page work for Mirae Asset, along with projects referencing DBS, HP and Save The Children. The work tends towards digital formats, so it suits briefs that are mainly online and social.

7. Shift Media

Hong Kong studio · Tsuen Wan · shiftmedia.hk

Shift Media is a creative studio built around video, websites and branding, led by managing director Harry Salter. Its team includes video and photo directors and a lead colourist and editor, so production stays in-house for much of the work. It also offers UI and UX, web development, social media and content creation.

Featured projects include films for DCH Marine and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It is one of the smaller firms on this list, and a practical choice for education, corporate and brand clients who need film and web from one team.

8. A Work of Substance

Hong Kong studio with a Dubai office · Central · aworkofsubstance.com

A Work of Substance describes itself as a collective from 18 countries, working across brand, space, product and strategy from offices in Central and Dubai. It is the most design-led firm here, and often handles the identity and the physical space of a project together.

Its Hong Kong projects include the redesign and rebrand of The Fleming hotel, Osteria Marzia in Wan Chai and Ebisoba Ichigen on Ship Street. Wider work includes a “Metamorphosis” showcase for Hermès, a festive campaign for Aman and House of Shinsegae’s Gangnam flagship.

What to look for in a Hong Kong creative agency

Start with size and structure. Most independents in Hong Kong are small, and that shapes what they can take on. A small shop gives senior attention and quick decisions, though very large campaigns may need outside production partners, so ask early which parts of the work stay in-house.

Check language and market reach against your brief. Many Hong Kong campaigns need Cantonese copy that reads as local, English for regional and corporate audiences, and Mandarin if the work runs into the mainland. An agency that has run campaigns on WeChat or Xiaohongshu will approach a Greater China brief differently from one focused on Hong Kong social channels.

Look at sector experience. Luxury, hospitality, property and finance dominate the city’s client base, and each has its own approval habits and regulatory checks: a bank’s review cycle looks very different from a seasonal retail campaign. Ask to see recent work in your sector, by date, as several agency websites here do not date their projects.

Finally, look at how the agency handles the day-to-day: where files live, how feedback is gathered, and how approvals are tracked. Hong Kong clients often have regional or head-office reviewers in other time zones, so comments arrive out of step with each other. A clear review process and one place to find the latest version make that much easier to manage.

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. The agency setup suits small teams running several accounts at once: 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. Search works by meaning across documents, images and transcribed recordings, and colour search finds visual assets by shade. When a team wants references like a past campaign, similar search surfaces related work from a selected file.

Client feedback runs through shared links. Share a file or folder with the client as a commenter, with no sign-up needed, and they can leave timestamped comments on video and audio, add a drawing on a video frame with a comment, draw on images and attach a comment to the drawing, or highlight and comment on PDFs and text files. The team marks each comment completed as it is dealt with, so a round of feedback works like a checklist. That suits rounds where several reviewers in different offices comment at different times.

For finished work, any file or folder can be published as a web page. Published links are view-only, with optional download, and can take password protection. Link analytics shows when each named recipient opened a link and how long they spent with it, which helps with pitch decks sent to several stakeholders.

On Team plans, self-writing docs can maintain a page for each client from meetings, Slack and the workspace itself, covering decisions, deliverables and open items. Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best creative agency in Hong Kong?

There is no single answer, as the right agency depends on the brief. Among independents, Omelette Digital has the strongest recent awards record we could verify, with a silver and two bronzes at Kam Fan 41 in 2026. ANON has a long portfolio with Swire Properties, and DASH and BaseCreate have strong luxury and hospitality rosters.

Which agency was Creative Agency of the Year at the 2026 Kam Fan Awards?

Leo Hong Kong was named Creative Agency of the Year at Kam Fan 41, and BBDO Hong Kong won the Grand Kam Fan for McDonald’s “Back to the Beginning”. Both are network offices, which are covered on our advertising agencies in Hong Kong page.

Which Hong Kong creative agencies handle mainland China work?

Branding Records has an office in Shanghai and lists China marketing as a service, including WeChat account management. heydaysss describes itself as specialising in the Hong Kong and China markets. For any Greater China brief, ask to see recent mainland work and who will write the Mandarin copy.

Are small Hong Kong agencies able to handle production in-house?

Some are. ANON handles production in-house and brings in partners when needed, and Shift Media has its own video directors and a colourist. Others work with outside production companies, so it is worth asking who will shoot and edit before the budget is agreed.

How should clients give feedback on video and design work?

Time-stamped or marked-up comments on the file itself are easier to act on than notes in an email thread. In Fabric, a client with commenter access on a shared link can leave timestamped comments on video, draw on images, and see comments marked completed as the agency works through them. Published links are view-only, so feedback rounds use a shared link.
