What Your Creative does

Your Creative is an independent creative agency headquartered in Brunswick, Melbourne with operations in Sydney and a secondary studio in Marysville, Australia. Founded circa 2015-2016, the firm delivers end-to-end creative services including brand strategy and identity, web design and development, UX/UI, motion graphics, photography and video production, communications strategy, and campaign execution. Its client base spans four primary verticals: Government and Public Sector, Not-for-Profit and Social Impact, Corporate Brands and Enterprises, and Science/Innovation/Technology, with selected international engagements in the US and UK.

The agency's output is built on co-design methodologies, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance, and a portfolio of bespoke digital platforms for clients such as Madam Speaker (women's speeches archive), Rosie (harm-prevention platform), QUIN (queer health hub), the Health Equity Matters platform, the Aboriginal Home Ownership Hub, and Rural Women Online. Technology is standard agency stack plus production tooling including Framer Motion for client microinteractions and Hassl for project management, which the firm credits with a 20% productivity uplift. In-house Production capability was added in FY24/25, completing over 30 shoots in the year.

Commercially, Your Creative operates a sales-led, project-based model with custom quoting and no public pricing. Revenue is professional-services fees from a portfolio of ~100 completed projects. The firm runs a 4-day work week at 100% pay, holds an ESOP, is working toward B Corp certification, and is a member of the UN Global Compact. Founder-led under Managing Director Lauren Crystal with Creative Director James Lim, Client & Operations Director Liz Indrans, and CFO Michael Howe, the firm is currently expanding into a new custom two-story Brunswick studio (YC 2.0).

• BMF: Australian creative agency now part of Dentsu Creative, with deep corporate and government credentials. Overlaps on purpose-led campaigns and accessibility-aware design but operates at significantly greater scale.
• R/GA: Global creative technology agency with strength in digital product, brand, and experience design. Comparable on the digital platform and design system work for science/tech clients, though much larger and more tech-product focused.
• The Monkeys: One of Australia's most awarded creative agencies, now part of Accenture Song. Comparable as a competitor for major Australian brand and government work, but operates at a substantially larger scale within a global network.
• Porter Novelli: Global communications and creative agency with purpose-led positioning and strong public sector credentials. Comparable on the impact communications and ESG-aligned campaigns layer, though at network scale.

Regional players

• Cossette: Canadian independent creative network with similar full-service creative, brand, and digital capabilities. Comparable in operating model (independent, multi-discipline), but geographically separate and serving a different primary market.
