I turn ambitious ideas into global brands, campaigns, and systems that scale.

I’m Nakyum Song, a global brand strategist based in Singapore. Across Razer, KRAFTON, LG, and Hill+Knowlton, I have built new entertainment IP, led integrated global campaigns, and created operating systems used across markets.

My work spans the full brand journey—from defining positioning, narrative, and audience strategy to leading creative development, stakeholder alignment, global rollout, and long-term governance.

At Razer, I have led global initiatives including the company’s 20th anniversary campaign and the CEO-approved Proof Mark system. At KRAFTON, I helped build virtual artist ANA from the ground up, contributing to 5.4 million YouTube views and a social audience of more than 40,000. I also designed a global creator programme that scaled to more than 200 participants across North America, Europe, and Asia.

I am at my best when the ambition is clear, but the story, structure, or path to market is not. My Korea and APAC experience adds a practical regional lens to work designed to scale globally.

What I Do

From a brand’s central idea to the campaign, creator ecosystem, and governance system that makes it work across markets.

Global Brand Strategy

Positioning, audience definition, and strategic direction that turn complex business ambition into a brand teams and markets can understand.

Outcome: one clear strategic centre for decisions across the business.

Brand Positioning & Narrative

Messaging systems and story architecture for new brands, milestone moments, and products that need a credible reason to matter.

Outcome: a distinctive story that holds from leadership deck to launch.

Integrated Campaign Strategy

End-to-end campaign architecture spanning message, channel roles, creative briefing, stakeholder alignment, rollout, and governance.

Outcome: global campaigns that move from concept to market with clarity.

Creator & Influencer Programmes

Scalable creator ecosystems with clear selection criteria, tiers, benefits, content briefs, and recurring communication models.

Outcome: a repeatable content and relationship engine, not one-off outreach.

Brand Systems & Governance

Decision frameworks, asset rules, briefing structures, and approval workflows that keep distributed teams operating as one brand.

Outcome: faster, more consistent execution teams can sustain.

Korea & APAC Market Intelligence

Regional context, localisation decisions, and market-entry guidance for global brands that need to land credibly in Korea and across APAC.

Outcome: market-native execution without losing the global brand.
