Who we are

At RAPP, we don’t do cookie-cutter marketing. We believe in people—not personas. In stories—not segments. In bold ideas tailored to individuals, not mass-marketed noise. We are fiercely individual—and proud of it. That means we stand against the broad-brush generalisations of traditional marketing, and we fight for creative solutions that speak to the person behind the data. We create personalised experiences that are as unique as the people we’re speaking to—backed by powerful insights, boundary-pushing creativity, and intelligent delivery at scale.

How we do it

We operate across three capability pillars: Customer-Centric Consulting, Creativity That Inspires Action, Customer Experience Management. Our analysts identify individuals, not clusters. Our strategists understand what moves them. And our technologists and creatives deliver experiences designed to matter, in real time, across any platform. We’re also part of Omnicom’s Precision Marketing Group—4,000+ specialists across 40 markets—driving innovation in creativity, data science, and marketing automation. But more than our capabilities, it’s our character that counts. We’re curious, ambitious, collaborative, and unapologetically future-focused. We work hard, support one another, and push creative boundaries while staying grounded in mutual respect.
