Q3 2025 has been one incredible ride for the VentureStudio team. This quarter, we proudly expanded our marketing services to support more B2B and B2G clients, reaching a major milestone by serving over 30 clients in just 30 days. Internally, we strengthened workflows, improved client management, and invested in better tools to maintain consistent quality.
As our team grows and our expertise deepens, we’re reminded of how far we’ve come since our early days as freelancers(Edmund Chong & Gordon Sia). Our journey continues to prove that with the right vision, teamwork, and consistency, growth is inevitable. This Q3 2025 report caters to aspiring freelancers, startup business owners and businesses looking to see how far we've come.
Executive Summary
Achieved 30+ clients in under 30 days
Team operation expanded + Revenue up 400% quarter-over-quarter
Client satisfaction: 95% repeat rate from other services
VentureStudio Key Projects & Case Studies
Q3 marked a breakthrough in how we allocate our services and deliver value to clients.
We’ve seen a surge in businesses investing more strategically in marketing, from SEO and LinkedIn to expanding into the Chinese market through XiaoHongShu.
With our integrated business model, VentureStudio now offers comprehensive end-to-end marketing and media solutions, enabling foreign companies to more easily enter and invest in the Singapore market. Notably, this quarter featured our work with Sarawak Expo and an upcoming Halloween Event in October, both significant milestones showcasing our expanding capabilities.
Here are some of our key highlight services we've achieved in Q3 2025:
Media Production (TVC, Corporate Shoots, CSR Projects)
VentureStudio’s media production arm has grown tremendously this quarter. What started as a small team of 2–3 crew members has now evolved into a 20-member production team led by Gordon Sia, managing multiple teams across different shoots.
From high-quality TV commercials and corporate videos to meaningful CSR campaigns, our expanded capabilities deliver large-scale productions fast without compromising creativity.
Each project is a collaboration between our directors, editors, and cinematographers to bring out the client’s brand story in the most impactful way possible. We are excited to announce the outcome of some of these projects
Business Events (B2B & B2G)
VentureStudio has officially stepped into the business events sector to serve larger audiences across both B2B and B2G markets. In just Q3 alone, we successfully executed three major events — each one showcasing our growing strength in event marketing, media production, and on-ground coordination.
As we move into Q4, we’re gearing up for our next big project: a Halloween-themed event that blends immersive storytelling with experiential design. From set building to lighting and live production, our in-house art team has the creativity and technical skill to craft visually stunning pieces that bring any concept to life.
Working hand-in-hand with our events crew, VentureStudio is ready to deliver a full three-day spectacle, a testament to how far we’ve come in merging media production with event execution.
Digital Marketing (Web Design, SEO, SEM)
Website design and moving to SEO have been a key driving force behind many of our established B2B successes in driving sales. Led by our digital marketer Lucy Truong, we’ve helped clients achieve leads within two months of SEO and within a week for ad campaigns.
Our recent big project for digital marketing is our new launch property listing site, "Property Launcher" to help clients source the best property deals and get notified on market changes. Our new platform, Property Launcher, connects buyers to exclusive real estate deals — targeting 100,000 organic impressions by mid-2026.
Advertising
This quarter, our advertising division took a major leap forward, particularly in META campaigns (Facebook and Instagram). A significant portion of our ad budget was allocated toward our real estate clients—specifically to drive high-quality leads for three standout developments: Skye at Holland, Penrith, and Zyon Grand.
Through precise targeting, data-driven optimisation, and creative execution, we successfully generated a steady flow of qualified leads, contributing directly to multiple sales closures. Many of these projects have since sold out—an encouraging testament to our campaign effectiveness.
Social Media Marketing (LinkedIn & XHS)
In Q3, we observed a growing demand from service providers seeking to strengthen their presence on LinkedIn and Xiaohongshu (XHS), diversifying away from Meta to find new audiences. These platforms have become key channels for B2B businesses to advertise, build brand credibility, and attract quality clients through strategic storytelling and community engagement.
We’ve successfully helped clients grow their visibility, generate consistent leads, and position themselves as thought leaders within their industries. Our campaigns focus not just on content creation, but on delivering measurable results, from audience growth to conversion.
Business Performance Overview
Last quarter, we highlighted the cautious sentiment within Singapore’s agency landscape as market uncertainty and global instability caused many businesses to scale back their marketing efforts.
Despite early market caution following recent trade tensions, businesses have resumed marketing investments as confidence returned in Q3.
However, the momentum has clearly shifted in Q3. As the economy begins to stabilise and business confidence returns, VentureStudio has seen a significant uptick in both inbound inquiries and project conversions. The rebound in marketing demand coincides with broader economic improvements and renewed optimism among SMEs and government-linked sectors.
Q3 2025 Business Results
We are excited for Q4 2025, as it marks a new phase of strategic expansion for VentureStudio. With a stronger team, refined systems, and growing brand trust, we’ll be focusing on scaling regional collaborations, enhancing content quality, and introducing new digital marketing capabilities to serve our clients better.
Key Highlights
Operational Updates
In Q3 2025, we placed strong emphasis on operational efficiency and scalability to support our growing client base. One of the key improvements was the streamlining of our freelancer network. Instead of working with a large pool of short-term freelancers, we focused on building relationships with reliable, long-term partners who understand our standards, workflow, and creative direction. This shift has led to better communication, more consistent deliverables, and faster project turnaround times.
Operationally, our founders have been directly involved in refining internal systems — from project planning to post-delivery review to ensure every campaign maintains VentureStudio’s level of quality and strategic alignment. As these processes become more structured, we’re gradually transitioning operations to dedicated team leads, allowing founders to focus on business development, innovation, and high-value client engagement.
We streamlined operations by standardising freelancer partnerships, upgrading our accounting system, and improving project tracking — resulting in faster delivery and smoother client onboarding.
For workflow management, we enhanced our task tracking and communication systems to improve visibility across departments. Weekly syncs and project dashboards have helped keep every team aligned, ensuring that deliverables stay on schedule even as project volume increases. These improvements collectively position VentureStudio for stronger execution and scalability heading into Q4.
Revenue (Goal to Achieve 100k MRR)
It's amazing how exactly a year ago, our business goal was to "survive". Not only did we survive some dry months, but we've also managed to break through the freelance business model to start hiring and scaling the business, and are actively looking out for other committed full-time staff.
Looking ahead, our target is to achieve a sustainable 100K MRR (monthly recurring revenue). To reach that milestone, we’re developing a more structured revenue system—introducing a business credit program that enables clients to make upfront payments, streamlining cash flow and ensuring consistent service quality. This method has also helped us plan for our clients by planning and allocating more time to their projects without heavy concerns on hours worked.
This shift not only supports our growth but also reinforces client trust and long-term partnerships. As we enter the next stage of expansion, VentureStudio is gearing up to take on more regional projects, increase recurring contracts, and position ourselves as a leading creative agency for B2B and B2G brands across Singapore and beyond.
Client Growth (Marketing & Sales Achievement)
In the early days, our business grew primarily through word of mouth, with both founders combining their client bases to kickstart operations. While this helped us get off the ground, we quickly realised it wasn’t a sustainable growth model.
LinkedIn has become one of our strongest drivers, generating six figures in revenue through consistent thought leadership.
Our website remains our top conversion channel, thanks to a well-curated portfolio that showcases our proven results. Many competitors overlook this, assuming clients already know their value. That’s a mistake. We’ve doubled down on SEO and team visibility because when potential clients understand not just our work but the people behind it, their trust in our brand grows even deeper.
To many of our loyal fan base, a nudge on our head is not capitalising on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), while many of our clients tagged us on their business. In Q4 2025, we promise that this will be our utmost importance to get this wing started and improve our overall visibility.
After all, today's marketing is all about being visible online and having an offer ready in front of your audience!
Challenges & Lessons Learned
The biggest takeaway for 2025 is navigating business expansion while ensuring quality service. With more projects coming our way, a key hurdle the founders had to undertake was upskilling new skills from managing a growing creative team, mastering the producer’s responsibilities, and coordinating on-ground crew operations to training and mentoring new talent.
Edmund's Thoughts:
While our operation growth grows steadily, we remain committed to ensuring high-quality service by underpromising and overdelivering.
Market Challenges
Singapore marketing service has changed rapidly with further development in AI, and mainly adults aged 40 and above are adapting to the technology.
Gordon's Thoughts:
In just one year of running the business, we’ve witnessed massive market shifts. Staying relevant and adaptable has been essential. While many advised us to niche down, we’ve seen too many competitors fade because they couldn’t evolve with the changing environment.
The slowdown in digital marketing demand is evident across the industry as more businesses adopt AI for in-house marketing. However, when it comes to advanced SEO strategies and delivering consistent ad performance, clients continue to turn to us for our proven expertise and results.
Lessons Learnt
Q3 is the most successful quarter we have had, with more revenue than both Q1 and Q2 combined. A big lesson we learned is optimising the business to be friendly to competitors and to operate smoothly.
C2C (Competitors to Collaborators)
In the marketing world, competition is everywhere. One day, a PR agency becomes a social media marketer; the next, a media production house evolves into an events company. The lines between us blur faster than ever.
But here’s the truth — growth happens faster when we grow together. Instead of seeing others as rivals, we’ve learned the power of collaboration.
Recently, we joined forces with Milkman Production and MAMA Production to create a stunning TVC that captured both creativity and teamwork. We also partnered with GiftKaki, whose corporate gifts added a personal touch to our business events, boosting engagement and driving sales for all parties.
Because when competitors become collaborators, everyone wins.
Overwork kills Morale
The last 3 months, founders have been successful in closing more deals at the expense of having to work 14+ hours per day and burning weekends as well. From producing back-to-back corporate events to managing multiple digital ads and planning a successful campaign that stretched past 4am.
The irony of building a creative agency is that creativity fades when burnout sets in. We noticed the spark dimming, ideas slowing, and work slowing down. That’s when we knew something had to change.
Q4 Outlook & Strategic Priorities
As we enter the final 100 days of the year, VentureStudio remains focused on completing all ongoing projects and securing future contracts ahead of schedule.
Building on our strong Q3 performance, our next phase is centered around deepening collaborations with corporate and government partners. We aim to expand our portfolio across Business Events, Media Production, and Digital Marketing, ensuring every project we undertake contributes to measurable client success.
In Q4, we are actively seeking brands and organizations ready to sponsor or collaborate on upcoming B2B and B2G events, as we continue positioning VentureStudio as a trusted partner in creative storytelling and business innovation.
