PRecious Communications (Independent)

Lars Voedisch launched PRecious in 2012, at a time when several new Southeast Asian consultancies were springing up. Voedisch’s background, however, from senior roles at DHL, FleishmanHillard and H+K Strategies, marked PRecious out as one to watch, as did his expertise from running analytics consultancy Commetric. Unsurprisingly, then, PRecious has grown at a steady clip to 40 people across Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand, with two more markets forecast to launch in the next 12 months.

The firm’s focus is on B2B technology and consumer, along with a specific arm — PRecious Sparks — that has worked with more than 100 startups, including twelve unicorns. Having started life as a classic media relations firm, PRecious has since broadened its approach considerably across crisis, influencer marketing and digital, underpinned by an evaluation focus on conversion and lead generation.

Revenues are expected to reach around S$3m by the end of this year, after 50% growth in 2017, powered by a new business haul that includes Electrify, Hashgraph, Entrepreneur First, Ascott, Hotel and Nickolodeon, who join an existing roster that features McAfee, Out Systems, Software AG, Young Living, Brotzeit and Lufthansa. Significantly, 80% of PRecious’ work comes from recommendations.

Voedisch is supported by a senior team that includes head of business growth and innovation Prayank Gupta and B2B head Melinda Ilagan. Campaign highlights, meanwhile, include supporting Artbox Singapore, helping Yotel launch in Singapore, and positioning both Electrify Asia and Software AG as thought leaders.
