In recent years, the rise of Chinese brands has impacted the advertising business globally. With massive spending growth, advertising agencies embraced that opportunity. But when you dive deep into detail, the Chinese have unique characteristics. Many network agencies have difficulty coping with the Chinese brands’ “world’s best-selling” mentality.
Why do big brands find success working with a local agency in Bangkok?
Many global giant companies have found their way to grow in the Thai market and expand into the ASEAN market. Thus, Bangkok is a hub for advertising. In Bangkok, you can have world-class ideas and productions from global agencies or local agencies- there are many specialist services with a wide range of budgets.
Yell Advertising, Bangkok’s young and fresh local agency, is becoming a fascinating choice lately. Why? They come with thorough local insight and social context. The marketers meet a leaner and faster process than many other global agencies. Being a start-up business, they adopt an international working culture bringing fresh ideas. For a global company, Resilience is the key to success. Hence it is vital to work with an agency that can adapt to change.
Yell’s journey from a local agency to one of the most well-known advertising agencies internationally
In 2009, a short film, “The Only One” from The ONE Card Thailand, was launched in Bangkok. A commercial at SPIKE ASIA, an international festival of creativity, sparked popularity for the short film. The film was also translated into the Chinese language and was a big success on China’s social media. The Chinese production company brought the original idea to remake it into a feature film. Following this massive exposure and success, the contributor- Yell Advertising Bangkok- made a great impression in many marketers’ minds.

CP, the biggest food company in Thailand, is an excellent endorsement for this local agency. After more than seven years of working with CP in many successful campaigns, Yell had gained more trust from many Chinese brands due to its expertise.
From 2020 until today, Yell has strengthened its client portfolio with Lazada, Zoflora, iQIYI and Mister Potato- winning pitches for several projects. This is a giant leap from being a local to the most trusted advertising agency.
