For some inspiration, read up on our case studies:
BONIFACIO
Singapore’s First Mid-Priced Filipino Restaurant
Food & Beverage
Bonifacio is Singapore’s first restaurant that specialises in authentic Filipino cuisine. Due to 25% of the Singaporean white-collar working population hailing from the Philippines, the diner’s launch was much anticipated. We handled the fanfare of the inauguration with a series of media lunches, which garnered extensive coverage in prominent publications.
ENAK KL
Malay Fine Dining Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur
Food & Beverage
Enak KL is a high-end restaurant that serves premium Malay cuisine in one of the most prestigious malls in Malaysia. The restaurant had never held a media conference in its six years after its inception. We conducted a media tasting of its new year menu in KL itself.
PEACH GARDEN
High-End Authentic Chinese Cuisine Restaurant Group
Food & Beverage
Peach Garden Group, a name synonymous with the original taste of the Chinese cookery, is a faction of diners comprising of one fine-dining restaurant, two Chinese restaurants, two casual-dining concepts and an outdoor caterer. Post-launch we were appointed to generate unique PR story angles that cater to the brand’s tone and audience. Due to our creative media outreach strategies, Peach Garden Group continues to earn a string of accolades from reputable publications such as Singapore Tatler and Wine & Dine, with glowing testaments of its commitment to quality.
YHINGTHAI PALACE
Luxurious Thai Cuisine
Food & Beverage
Yhingthai Palace and Yhingthai Place were situated a few doors down the road from each other on Prinsep Street. The owners were unsure why Yhingthai Place was not enjoying the same long queues as its Palace sister although the food and service were the same. We launched a PR campaign to raise awareness for the sister restaurant where seating was not an issue and patrons did not have to wait in queue. The outcome was fortuitous.

AMARA SANCTUARY RESORT
Heritage Trail & Shutters Restaurant
Retail
Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa is an award-winning luxury hotel in Sentosa, Singapore, built on a site of a former British military barracks from the 1930s. The company signed a 6-month retainer campaign with Affluence PR, during which we have managed to organise media walking trails, and tasting sessions, garnering a total of SGD 330,056 worth of print and social media coverage featuring the Amara Heritage Trail, the Shutters Restaurant’s new menus, and the resort’s staycation packages.

LIGHTYEARS
Danish Luxury Designer Lighting

Having worked with W Atelier and exclusive designer brands for over 6 years has given us deep insights into the design industry and retail management of a wide range of brands. Lightyears is a sub-set of the Fritz Hansen brand and over the years, we have created multiple creative angles to help garner key media reviews. Our highly experienced team also employs our heavily-polished PR and marketing strategies to boost the brand’s reach.
RISIS
Patented Gold-Plated Orchid Jewellery and Figurines
Retail
Pioneer of the unique orchid gold-plating process, RISIS has established itself as a well-regarded Asian gifts company globally. Affluence PR was the first agency on retainer for this brand, who had engaged us on an ad hoc basis for many years before. We then worked with RISIS for another 6 years, to perform regular media outreach for RISIS with its collection launches and CSR programmes, especially with the Children’s Society. RISIS’ zodiac-collection was launched and media-managed on Chinese New Year each year with an endowment gift for the first-born of the Lunar New Year. The work entailed our team staying up to midnight calling maternity hospitals to ascertain the first born of the year and being the first in the wards on Chinese New Year Day 1, to welcome the new baby with a RISIS gift ceremony in the ward.
TOTO
Japanese High-Tech Sanitary Ware
Retail
Toto, a global brand of sanitary ware well-known for their leading innovations in creating the hurricane flush system as well as the automatic seat lift and close feature, has been in our arsenal of ID and retail brands that we have been promoting for over 6 years. The upshot is continual publicity for the brand by boosting its recognition and recall each year.
EACH-A-CUP
Singapore’s Oldest Bubble Tea Brand
Food & Beverage
A fun and friendly brand to work with, Each-A-Cup is youthful, energetic, and full of bubbles! We were authorized to rejuvenate the brand and reconnect with the youths, as well as to embark on a social media campaign to run contests and polls to help the brand develop. The outcome was highly fortuitous.
YI FANG TAIWAN FRUIT TEA
Refreshing Fruit Tea Kiosk
Food & Beverage
Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, a traditional fruit & bubble tea concept, retells the magical tale of the owner’s matriarch spilling the secret esoteric tastes in replenishing drinks and refreshing teas. To dissipate the enchanting flavours of tradition, the brand launched its newest outlet at the refurbished Change Alley Mall featuring its first open kitchen in the world with grandma at the helm. Post-launch, the Affluence PR team attended to a series of media tasting events at the refreshing new outlet, successfully garnering a total of SGD 101,180 worth of media coverage within the first two months of the PR engagement.
FU ER DAI
Unique Á La Mode Restaurant With A Penchant For Serving Classic Cuisine
Food & Beverage
This classic yet trendy restaurant is an extension of the prominent Bai Nian Niang Dou Fu chain of stalls. The restaurant is a refreshing F&B concept that serves an assortment of delectable dishes, including its signature Abalone Cheese Meehoon. Affluence PR was designated to arrange media interest angles so as to garner publicity in the press. Our team managed to feature the restaurant in a half-page article in the Sunday Times as well as stockpile lots of social media coverage following the media tasting event arranged by Affluence PR.
MR COCONUT
State-Of-The-Art Coconut Beverages Concept
Mr Coconut caters to the needs of thirsty Singaporeans looking for a variety of replenishing coconut drinks. This cutting-edge bar concept celebrated its second anniversary with a refreshing new menu launch at Far East Plaza. The event successfully attracted 40 media and social influencer guests. Affluence PR fortuitously pitched for media exposure for the brand on Channel News Asia, Gourmet Living, Straits Times; and on Radio stations like Capital 95.8, and One FM 91.3.

BAJA FRESH
A Mexican eatery with fresh tacos and salsas, Baja Fresh focuses on the working professional crowd and specialises in takeaways.
We created a bright and colourful website, with large fun visuals, to bring across the Mexican party culture of the brand. We also used the client’s food images to create delicious-looking visuals that would make customers want to order from them. At the same time, we used a WordPress CMS site, so that the client could make changes on their own for time-sensitive information.
BEYOND BEAUTY
Beyond Beauty is a beauty and spa chain of over 15 outlets in Singapore and Malaysia.
Decadence Design ensured that we created a holistic end-to-end customer experience for the event, one that would bring customers seamlessly through the entire purchase decision journey — from the attractive backdrop to the posters on-site, at each beauty station, leading to the in-store tour experience.
CHIRON FLIGHT SERVICES
‘Chiron’ (kye’-rən, IPA: /’kairən/), renowned as a master of healing, was the supreme centaur, a being with the upper body of man and the lower torso of a horse in ancient Greek mythology.
Chiron Flight Services captures the essence of Chiron the centaur in its steadfast, skillful, and compassionate approach towards others, especially in the aid of the sick and injured as a medical concierge and travel private jet service.
Decadence Design skewed the brand direction into one that used the company’s original idea for the name into something that would encapsulate their overall mission and services provided. We created a logo that used the company’s initials, and portrayed the centaur in a heroic stance, very much like how Chiron’s staff and medical team will appear to their customers and patients in need.
DISTRICT 10
Founder/Chef Luca Pezzera first started Bontá Italian Restaurant & Bar at UE Square in March 2007. In moving forward with the thought of strategic intention to promote his authentic rustic European/Mediterranean fusion cuisine concept bar & restaurant in Singapore, Chef Luca spearheaded birth of first flagship outlet of District 10 Bar & Restaurant at Windstedt Road in 2009.
Decadence Design worked closely with the chef founder and his partner to create a brand that brought together all the elements of the semi-outdoor dining with their modern fusion Italian restaurant and bar concept.
