Yesterday, Word of Art marked 14 years. That’s a long time for a company with a terrible approach to market segmentation. Well-meaning friends have often quipped that what we’re missing is a low-cost “good enough” offering. Our big challenge is even if we tried to offer it, we would trip over ourselves trying to deliver it.
One of the reasons I have loved our journey so much is the shared commitment the entire team – and everyone who has been through our doors – has to excellence. Call it what you like, meticulous, fastidious, moderately OCD, but none of us knows how to settle for “good enough”. We like exceptional – and will put in the time and effort it demands.
It’s an attitude that has created opportunities to work with some of the biggest brands in Singapore and the world, doing the hard stuff, the fun stuff, the mind-bending stuff. We’ve helped shape narratives that resonate, and go into each day to tell stories with clarity, honesty, and passion. The success we’ve had is no fluke – at its core is the fact that we know it takes more than acting like a vendor to deliver exceptional work. We’re partners to our clients, collaborators that uncover and amplify voices, and who make sure that content does its job. And that takes more than mere “mediocrity”.
At 14, we’re ready to stretch even higher and push the boundaries of storytelling even further, while staying true to why we started Word of Art to begin with – to tell the stories that matter, tell them well, and make them worth your time.
It’s the only way we know how.
Happy 14th Anniversary to us, and to all our amazing clients and partners! Raising a glass to the many more amazing stories that are waiting to be told.
