Samantha Tan
Founder & Managing Director, Custory
I've always admired how a small nation like Singapore built a reputation for excellence, trust, and progress. We are surrounded by world-class infrastructure, innovation, and opportunity.
Yet somewhere along the way, I felt that creativity was often treated as secondary to performance. Art, storytelling, and imagination became nice-to-haves rather than drivers of growth.
I never believed the two should be separated.
Custory was built on the belief that the strongest businesses balance both. Strategy gives a business direction, but creativity gives people a reason to care. Branding builds trust. Storytelling creates connection. Together, they transform products and services into experiences that people remember.
With a background in Fine Art and Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship from Singapore Management University, I founded Custory to bridge the gap between creativity and commercial impact, helping ambitious organisations grow through thoughtful strategy, design, and storytelling.
Today, our mission remains simple:
To prove that creativity is not the opposite of business performance. It is one of its greatest drivers.

Vision
Help modern brands grow into culturally relevant, commercially strong organisations.
Mission
Bridge growth, storytelling, campaigns, and production into one ecosystem.
Values
Clarity. Excellence. Consistency. Creativity with purpose.
