Our story

Our crew’s mission is to whip up award-winning engagements that won’t only inspire but also get people connecting, chatting, and sharing like it’s the hottest gossip in town. Chat’r is not just another cookie-cutter agency; we’re a creative communication studio with pizzazz.

What makes Chat’r different? Firstly, we’re a tight-knit crew, small enough to be agile, yet big enough to be impactful. Secondly, we’re brand engagement architects with an aptitude for idea creation, strategy, and a 360-degree approach. Thirdly, we craft integrated communication solutions that deliver the perfect brand message, reach your audience, and seal the deal.

Fourthly, words like ’boutique,’ ‘bespoke,’ and ‘unique’ may follow us, but it’s our unyielding “can-do” attitude that really stands out. We don’t just think outside the box; we’ve tossed it and set it on fire!

Finally, we’re not just about pretty ideas; we’re purpose-driven, passionate about cutting-edge designs, and pioneers in events management, brand activation, and digital campaigns that break limits.

Welcome to our wild and wonderful Creative Communication Studio, where we turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Our creative communication studio is

a Sustainable business

We’re not just about creating epic events; our company is passionate about saving the planet. Therefore, climate change got us thinking, and we decided to be part of the solution. That’s why we’re all in for sustainability, weaving it into our daily operations at our creative communication studio. In short, we’re here to guide you in hosting green events with a minimal environmental footprint. Leave the world better than you found it? You bet!

Size doesn't matter,

Attitude does

We’ve got a “can-do” attitude, nothing is too big or too small! Whether it’s an intimate soirée or a colossal laser-lit extravaganza, we’ve got the skills, resources, and experience to handle it all. From logistics to scripting, audio-visual wizardry, groundbreaking communication hook-ups, and epic brand bling – our creative communication studio can go as big or as small as your imagination allows. Seriously, there’s no event too cosmic for us!

It’s all in the

Detail

We’re detail devotees! We’re masters of brands, strategised creativity, and thinking BIG. But our ideas aren’t just imaginative; they’re strategically driven. Without a doubt, we’re all about sharing international best practices and working holistically or tactically within your campaign. Budget decisions? We’ve got that covered too. Costs are part of our ideation process, and market insights are our secret to success.

...and the little things

Francis Atterbury knew his stuff when he said that it’s the small stuff that turns ‘meh’ into ‘mind-blowing.’ Well, we’ve taken that wisdom to heart, so when it comes to delivering, we don’t just aim for stunning; we hit it out of the park every single time!

Not to mention, we’re like the Sherlock Holmes of event planning, sniffing out those tiny, oh-so-important details. To emphasize, we’re talking about scrutinising media like it’s the juiciest gossip, diving deep into DTP, crafting personalised messages that’ll give you all the feels, and a gazillion other little somethings that turn a good event into a bona fide blockbuster!
