About Imagination
Imagination is a global experiential agency, operating with a single-minded belief that any brand is not built around what you say – it is in the memories and experiences co-created with its customers.

Great experiences encourage people to engage with brands in a context that is relevant and timely to them – truly placing them in the centre of it all. We believe a collaborative, creative, and pro-active culture of great thinkers is paramount to success. Always willing to go above and beyond to deliver joy to people interacting with our work, while delivering groundbreaking and excellent work for our clients.

We are firm believers that a title and expected delivery does not define someone. Collaboration is key to our team’s success, pooling together our various expertise and experiences from all walks of life. Be creative. Be quizzical. Be quirky. Spark joy in the hearts of many. Be you.
