The AOY Awards evaluate agencies not only on campaign results but also on business growth, strategic excellence, creativity, culture, innovation, regional expansion, and leadership.

Since 2020, CREATIP has been recognized annually by the AOY Awards, previously earning distinctions in Influencer Marketing and Social Media Marketing. In 2025, the agency further strengthened its position as a top Korea performance marketing agency, especially after being officially appointed as a NAVER certified agency. With this designation, CREATIP expanded its expertise in NAVER marketing and NAVER ads management, enhancing its data- and AI-driven optimization model to deliver stronger results for brands entering the Korean market.
Following the launch of its Japan office in 2023, CREATIP has continued to expand its footprint across Asia.
