Vicinity Studio is a creative video production agency that focuses on humanity-centric themes in their projects.[1] Some of its notable clients include McDonald’s Singapore and St. Luke’s Hospital.[2] Since its inception in August 2017, it has garnered about 14,000 followers on Facebook and grown from a solo unit to a team of 42 in 2021.[1]
In June 2021, Vicinity Studio was named as a finalist by Marketing Interactive under the Video / Production Company of the Year category for the Agency of the Year Awards.[3]
Background
Vicinity Studio was founded by Kevin Ng Jia Quan in August 2017 as a creative agency to produce socially-impactful videos and content for corporate clients and non-profit organisations.[2]
Founder
Born in 1995, Kevin Ng is the founder and managing director of Vicinity Studio.[2] He kick-started his filmmaking career in 2012 when he enrolled in Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Film Sound & Video diploma program.[4] There, he was the recipient of the Liu Yin Soon Scholarship and the Outstanding Community Service Award in 2015.[4]
Simultaneously, Kevin was also volunteering at TOUCH Community Services as a video producer, the Singapore Red Cross as a videographer, and Creatives for Causes as the creative director.[4]
He also served as the Media Officer-in-Charge of the 3rd Singapore Division during his National Service, working with several departments in the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) to produce media content from videos to graphics.[4]
Origins
After completing his National Service, Kevin felt it was difficult to find any production houses and companies in Singapore that focused on charitable organisations and efforts.[2] He then decided to use the skills he learnt during his time volunteering with various organisations to start up his own video production agency, Vicinity Studio, in August 2017.[2]
Vicinity Studio is now unionised under the Creative Media and Publishing Union.[5]
