GrowthOps Asia has been recognised for the fourth consecutive year (2022–2025) in Campaign Asia’s Southeast Asia Customer Engagement Agency of the Year category, solidifying its position as the region’s most consistently awarded customer engagement agency in the category. This year, GrowthOps Asia received Silver in the Southeast Asia Customer Engagement category.
As far as public Campaign Asia Agency of the Year records show, GrowthOps is the only agency to have appeared on the podium in this category for four consecutive years — a streak unmatched in Southeast Asia to date. The consistent win streak reflects the agency’s sustained performance in the field over time, rather than a reliance on a single standout campaign. The 2025 award reinforces GrowthOps Asia’s belief that repeat recognition is not about awards momentum, but is fundamentally about the way its work is built.
There are no shortcuts
In a market increasingly crowded with agencies launching “AI labs”, “content factories”, and proprietary-sounding technology stacks, GrowthOps Asia has taken a markedly different approach: radical clarity about what technology is being used, why it is used, and where human expertise remains irreplaceable.
“Customer engagement today sits at the intersection of technology, creativity, and trust,” said Chris Greenough, General Manager & Regional Head of Creative Services at GrowthOps Malaysia.
“Too often, the industry dresses up back-office production as innovation. We’ve deliberately chosen not to do that. We believe credibility with our clients, teams, and with audiences is a competitive advantage.”
Rather than selling automation as creative or media magic, GrowthOps has embedded practical AI use cases inside its strategy, experience design, and performance teams, to ensure the technology amplifies human judgment rather than replaces it.
Built for transformation, not theatre
Judges at Campaign Asia’s Agency of the Year Awards assess agencies on strategic impact, innovation, business performance, and effectiveness. GrowthOps’ multi-year recognition reflects a model built for long-term transformation rather than short-term experimentation.
Over the past year, GrowthOps Asia:
- Maintained strong financials despite regional market contraction
- Retained over 90% of top-tier clients, with long-standing relationships across financial services, telco, aviation, and consumer sectors
- Continued to scale talent internally, maintaining low attrition in highly competitive creative and technology roles
It is this very combination of operational discipline, technical depth, and creative effectiveness that underpins the agency’s ability to deliver measurable engagement (not just outputs) across markets.
Why this matters now
As brands face rising pressure to do more with less, the distinction between real capability and performative innovation is becoming increasingly important.
“Clients are far more sophisticated than the industry sometimes gives them credit for,” Greenough states. “They understand trade-offs. What they don’t appreciate is being sold mythology.” He continues, “Our view is simple: be honest about the model, be rigorous about the work, and let results speak.”
That philosophy translates into campaigns and platforms that deliver sustained engagement, from large-scale digital commerce activations and experience platforms to long-term customer ecosystems, in highly regulated industries.
A four-year streak, grounded in substance
GrowthOps’ four-year run of recognition comes at a time when many agencies struggle to maintain consistency amid economic pressure, rapid technological change, and shifting client expectations.
“Being recognised once is gratifying,” Greenough said. “Being recognised four years in a row tells us we’re building something durable, both for our clients and our people.”
