Satu Creative: From Creative Agency to Empowering Entrepreneurs

Satu Creative operates as a 7-figure social enterprise, but you won't find them on an official accreditation list. After evolving from a creative agency, the firm now focuses on capacity building; running workshops and accelerators for entrepreneurs, but also corporates.

Founder and CEO Azuar Zainuddin joins us to share his unique hybrid business model. 

We discuss:

  • The evolution from a creative agency to a 7-figure social enterprise.

  • Their hybrid model: using corporate training to "pay the bills" for social impact.

  • Why they prioritise partnerships over a large team to scale their reach.

  • How they are redesigning programmes to address the "privilege gap."

  • Measuring success beyond "vanity metrics" by focusing on revenue and job creation.
