Public Relations Associate

Who are we

We know Mutant is an odd name for an agency. While we'd love to give you a really cool reason for it like being exposed to gamma radiation or being bitten by a spider - our origin story is a little less dramatic.

In 2012, Mutant launched in Singapore as a PR agency with a vision for growth based on getting real business results for clients - without the agency fluff.

Since these humble beginnings, we've evolved into a regional agency with offices in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand & the Philippines - servicing clients across Asia Pacific and globally for their PR, content marketing, branding, and social media needs.

So, what does this mean for you

You're here because you need help with real problems - whether that's increasing sales, improving employee retention, driving inbound leads, or refreshing your brand to attract investors.

These are the results we measure our success on.
