Kuala Lumpur-based Ecopia, an event management agency, has achieved a major milestone in its regional expansion by opening a full-fledged office in Singapore in December 2024.
This strategic move underscores the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality event solutions to its growing client base in Singapore, while solidifying its position in the competitive South-east Asian market.
Snowie Tan, group managing director for Malaysia and Singapore, explained the decision to establish a full-scale presence in Singapore was driven by a steady rise in the agency’s year-on-year clientele over the past three years.
“Our goal is to provide the same level of dedication and commitment to our Singapore-based clients as we have consistently delivered from our Malaysia office, which has been offering total event solutions since 2003,” Tan said.
She added: “Unlike many event management agencies, we manage most aspects of our services in-house, supported by our nine specialised subsidiaries across various facets of event management. This gives us greater control over quality, ensuring a seamless experience for our clients without over-relying on third-party vendors.”
The new Singapore office offers a comprehensive suite of event management solutions tailored for corporate clients. These include engagement events with key opinion leaders and social media influencers, product launches, incentive trips, annual kick-off meetings, conferences, teambuilding programmes, stage and presentation management, sales and dealer conventions, as well as gala dinners with creative themes.
According to Tan, the Woodlands area was chosen for the Singapore office to optimise operational efficiency, as “many of our logistics and support vehicles arrive from Malaysia”.
“This set-up reduces transit times and ensures smoother coordination, enabling us to deliver timely and reliable services,” she explained.
Following the successful Singapore office opening, Ecopia is now gearing up to establish a similar full-fledged office in Bangkok by end-2025.
Tan said: “Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are pivotal markets for business events in South-east Asia. It makes perfect business sense to grow organically and establish a presence in all three markets. This enables us to better serve our existing clientele, which includes Fortune 500 multinational corporations with extensive operations across the Asia-Pacific.”
