Why Choose Us

Driving real growth with scroll-stopping content engineered to turn attention into action.

Performance-first creative

We don’t make content for aesthetics. Every hook, visual, and format is built to stop the scroll and push a measurable outcome: clicks, leads, sales.

Built on research, not vibes

Most agencies guess. We study your category winners, audience triggers, and platform patterns first so creative decisions are backed by what actually works.

Testing system that compounds

Instead of betting on one big idea, we ship multiple angles and variants, learn fast, kill weak ads early, and scale winners. That’s how performance improves month after month.

Fast turnaround, zero fluff

Short-form moves fast, and so do we. You get high-velocity output without sacrificing strategy, quality, or conversion intent. No “post and pray.” Just consistent momentum.

The dream team behind your brand growth

Simple answers to your social media questions.

dfrnt is a performance-creative social media agency in Singapore.

We help brands grow through platform-native strategy, scroll-stopping content, and performance creatives built to convert.

Instead of chasing vanity metrics, we focus on measurable business outcomes like leads, sales, and stronger ROI from social and paid ads.

Performance creatives means we don’t separate “creative” from “results.”

Every piece of content or ad we produce is designed to earn attention fast and drive action.

We test hooks, angles, formats, and messages, learn quickly from performance data, then scale what works. Creative that doesn’t convert is just decoration.

Most agencies lean one-sided: creative teams make pretty assets without understanding ads, or performance teams know numbers but can’t make scroll-stopping content.

dfrnt sits in the overlap. We research the category, build a testing system, and produce high-velocity creatives that are both on-brand and conversion-engineered.

We operate as two specialist business units.

dfrnt STUDIO delivers consistent, always-on performance content month-to-month. dfrnt SHARK is built for speed — high-velocity short-form and aggressive testing to win quickly and scale winners faster.

Two units, one shared playbook: make social drive growth.

 

Judy Tay is the General Manager of dfrnt STUDIO, leading strategy and scalable performance-creative systems.

Sharlyn is the General Manager of dfrnt SHARK, a high-performing content creator with strong viral and conversion-driven short-form results.

Different strengths, same obsession with performance.

We provide end-to-end social growth: social strategy, content systems, short-form video, platform management, community engagement, creator/UGC support, and performance creatives for paid ads.

We also produce campaign sprints and ad creative testing packs for brands running Meta, TikTok, YouTube, or LinkedIn ads.

 

We’re platform-flexible. Core channels include TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Xiaohongshu (RED), plus other platforms when relevant to your audience.

We recommend the right mix based on where your customers actually scroll and buy.

Both.

Organic builds trust and community; paid scales reach and conversion.

We can run ads end-to-end or work alongside your media team while we focus on performance creatives — because creative is the lever that makes ads profitable.

We work with brands that want growth and aren’t afraid to stand out.

Common industries include beauty, wellness, F&B, lifestyle, clinics, retail, education, SMEs, and B2B services.

If your business needs attention, trust, and conversion on social, we can build the system.

Expect consistent improvement, not overnight miracles.

In the first 4–6 weeks, we typically lift reach and engagement quality as we refine platform fit.

Over 8–12 weeks, performance compounds into stronger leads, enquiries, sales, and better ad efficiency once winning hooks and formats are scaled.

We track what maps to business outcomes: reach and non-follower discovery, saves/shares/comment velocity, watch time and retention, profile actions, clicks, DM starts, and paid metrics like CTR, CPA, and ROAS.

We report clearly on what worked, what didn’t, and why.

Yes.

We handle concepting, scripting, shoot direction (on-site or remote), editing, and packaging for platform-native performance.

Whether it’s short-form social, creator-style UGC, or ad creative, we produce with retention and conversion in mind.

Most clients work with us on a monthly retainer through dfrnt STUDIO (always-on growth) or dfrnt SHARK (speed/testing).

We also take campaign-based projects for launches or high-intensity sprints.

We’ll recommend the right structure based on your goals.

Start with a strategy call.

We’ll understand your goals, audience, brand voice, and current performance.

Then we propose a platform plan, content system, and scope. Once confirmed, onboarding covers access setup, brand immersion, and your first month roadmap.

If you want social that looks good and performs — and you’re ready for a real creative testing system instead of random posting — we’re a fit.

If you’re chasing vanity metrics or want “safe” content only, we’re probably not your people.
