Singapore – ING, a strategic communications consultancy specialising in the built environment, has announced its global expansion with the launch of its first international office in Singapore, reinforcing its commitment to supporting clients in key global markets.
ING offers a range of services, including corporate communications, strategic consultancy, research and policy development, marketing and brand consultancy, media training, and digital and social media strategy.
With its new office in Singapore, ING establishes a presence in a key global hub for business, finance, architecture, and design. The firm will provide communications support to clients in Singapore and across the Asia-Pacific region, as well as assist UK and other international businesses looking to expand their reach in the region.
The Singapore office will be led by Haziq Ariffin, recently promoted to senior strategist for APAC. With over seven years of experience in the built environment across Asia and the UK, he has managed strategic communications campaigns for clients in architecture, placemaking, real estate, and property investment.
In addition to its Singapore expansion, ING has grown its Manchester presence, adding two new clients: Civic, a consultancy focused on systems thinking for the built environment, and Habiko, a joint venture dedicated to affordable, sustainable housing.
Led by account director Lauren Teague, ING will develop communications programs to support client growth and brand visibility. The firm is also working with Regeneration Brainery to advance its mission of encouraging young people from under-represented backgrounds to pursue careers in property and regeneration.
Damian Wild, managing director of ING, said, “Manchester and Singapore are both key markets with immense potential. While Singapore strengthens our global presence, our Manchester office continues to lead regional efforts in driving growth across the North of England.”
“Our expansion into these regions reflects our commitment to being where our clients need us most. We look forward to building strong relationships and delivering impactful communications strategies that drive success for our clients,” he added.
Founded in London, ING marks 25 years in 2025 and became fully employee-owned in 2021. With 50 staff across three offices, the consultancy has worked with developers, investors, and industry events like MIPIM, representing delegations from Oman and Egypt. Its architecture and design clients include Büro Ole Scheeren, White Arkitekter, and Flokk.
