How to Evaluate “Best in Singapore” Lists Before Choosing an Agency

Search for the “best graphic designer in Singapore”, “best branding agency in Singapore” or “best creative agency in Singapore”, and you will find no shortage of rankings, directories and recommendation lists. These lists can provide a useful starting point. However, appearing on a “Best in Singapore” list does not automatically mean that an agency is the right choice for your organisation. Before relying on any ranking, it is worth understanding how the list was created, what it measures and …

It’s one of the most common questions businesses ask — usually right before a logo request lands in someone’s inbox. “Can you make us something that looks good?” The short answer: sometimes yes. The more useful answer: it depends on what problem you’re actually trying to solve. Because branding and design are not the same thing — and choosing the wrong one often leads to work that looks good but doesn’t move anything forward. The Quick Distinction Let’s keep this …

Many businesses start with the same request: “I need a logo.” Fair enough. It’s the most visible part of a brand. But here’s the catch — jumping straight into logo design without brand strategy is like choosing a suit before knowing the occasion. You might look good. But you may be dressed for the wrong room. What Is Brand Strategy? Brand strategy is the thinking layer behind your brand. It defines what you stand for, who you are for, and …

Not simply decorate them. At JAB Design Singapore, strategy comes first. Every colour, typeface and visual element is selected with purpose — because great design is business communication, not decoration. The Role of Graphic Designers …

And in the minds of your customers. There is no cookie-cutter method. But every strong audit should help you: Identify strengths and weaknesses Reveal gaps and inconsistencies Understand your place in the market Prioritise what matters most Objectivity creates clarity. The closer you are to your brand, …

Great Creative Begins with a Great Brief Imagine asking a chef to prepare a new dish without a recipe. A recipe provides direction. It outlines the ingredients, the method, the desired outcome — and just as importantly, what the finished dish should not become. A recipe for chocolate pie shouldn’t somehow end up as chocolate cupcakes. 🙇🏻‍♂️ Similarly, the lack of a good creative brief is the recipe for a marketing disaster. Many companies are guilty of not briefing …

From Data to Decisions Infographics have evolved from “pretty charts” into powerful visual storytelling tools. In a world where attention spans are shrinking, a well-designed infographic can break down complex ideas, drive engagement, and position your brand as an authority.
