We started zinc because we believe creativity is still the most powerful force for growth in business.
THE INDUSTRY NEEDs IT’S SPARK BACK
The world is drowning in content, and obsession with the WHAT of data, without questioning the WHY, has made the work stop feeling human, stopped it connecting.
Unless you have millions of dollars to shout louder into the abyss, you MUST create something that makes people FEEL something, or stop and THINK.
We exist to bring that back. To strip away the noise.
To make brand building simple, human, and alive again.
We’re small by choice, built for thinking deeply and moving fast. Global by experience, grounded in Asia. We help brands grow with clarity, story, and creative energy that sticks. Because creativity changes everything; how people see, feel, and connect.
That’s what drives us. That’s what makes us zinc.
