WHO WE ARE

WE DON’T
JUST OPEN
DOORS.
WE BUILD
THEM.

We turn IP and culture into business. Most cross-border opportunities fail before they begin — lost in translation, stalled by cultural distance, or blocked by market complexity. Sunrise Creative exists to close that gap. We connect global brands to Asian markets, and Asian cultural IPs to the world — through precise strategy, trusted relationships, and the on-ground capability to see every project through.

TURNING IP POTENTIAL INTO COMMERCIAL REALITY.

HOW WE WORK

01
Strategy & Matchmaking

We identify the right IP, brand, or artist for each opportunity — and structure the collaboration to maximize cultural and commercial impact from the start.

02
Legal & Negotiation

We navigate cross-border licensing, compliance, and negotiation — removing friction across languages, legal systems, and market expectations so the deal actually closes.

03
Execution & Commercialization

From creative direction to on-ground delivery, we see every project through — ensuring the collaboration lands with the impact it was designed for.

INDUSTRIES — ALL CROSS-BORDER

01 — ENTERTAINMENT
ENTERTAINMENT
Music, film, live performance, and talent — culture’s most visible export.

We work at the intersection of entertainment IP and live experience, helping artists, labels, studios, and promoters bring their work to new audiences across Asia. Whether it’s a touring concert, a licensing deal, or a brand partnership built around a cultural moment, we understand what it takes to make entertainment travel — and land.

02 — TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY
Consumer tech, gaming, and lifestyle brands with something to say.

Asia is both the world’s largest technology market and one of its most culturally distinct. We help technology brands move beyond product specs and into the cultural conversations that actually drive loyalty — through IP collaborations, experiential activations, and communications strategies that connect on a human level.

03 — ART & CULTURE
ART & CULTURE
Fine art, design, fashion, collectibles, and the IPs that define generations.

We have a deep respect for the integrity of creative work, and a proven ability to commercialize it without compromising it. From internationally recognized artists to immersive brand experiences rooted in cultural authenticity, we treat art and culture not as decoration — but as the foundation of everything we do.

04 — CAPITAL
CAPITAL
Investors, venture partners, and strategic capital looking at Asia’s cultural economy.

The business of culture is one of Asia’s most dynamic growth sectors — and one of its least transparent. We offer capital partners rare visibility into the landscape: the IPs worth backing, the partnerships worth structuring, and the market dynamics that determine what succeeds. We are the local intelligence layer your strategy needs.

05 — LUXURY TRAVEL
LUXURY TRAVEL
Rare access, curated for those who move between worlds.

Through alliances with international-grade partners, we provide privileged access to Asia’s most exclusive hospitality and travel experiences — from ultra-rare hotel inventory to immersive cultural journeys designed for discerning global travelers. This is not tourism. This is access.

THE BEST COLLABORATIONS
DON’T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
THEY REQUIRE SOMEONE WHO
UNDERSTANDS BOTH SIDES.

CASE STUDY

AIRSORAYAMA × STARLUX AIRLINES

A NEW BENCHMARK FOR ART-DRIVEN AVIATION COLLABORATION

THE CHALLENGE

How can an airline move beyond traditional branding and create a globally recognizable cultural identity — one that resonates far beyond the aviation industry?

THE APPROACH

SRC initiated and structured a cross-industry collaboration between STARLUX Airlines and renowned Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama. We led IP negotiation and partnership structuring, creative direction alignment, and full cross-border coordination across Japan, Taiwan, and global markets.

THE EXECUTION

The project resulted in two Airbus A350 aircraft featuring Sorayama’s signature futuristic metallic aesthetic — transforming commercial aircraft into flying art pieces seen across Asia and beyond.

THE IMPACT

Global media coverage across aviation, art, and lifestyle publications

Strong brand differentiation for STARLUX in international markets

A new model for integrating fine art into commercial aviation — replicable across industries

ABOUT

WE ARE
THE
BRIDGE.

Sunrise Creative was founded on the belief that the best cultural partnerships don’t happen by accident. They require someone who understands both sides of the conversation — the IP, the market, and the space in between.

We are a team of strategists, creatives, and operators with deep roots across Asia and a genuine passion for the cultural work we represent. We don’t pursue every opportunity. We pursue the right ones.

PRECISION OVER VOLUME.

We don’t pursue every deal. We pursue the right ones — matching IPs and brands with the specificity that makes collaborations feel inevitable rather than forced.

REGIONAL DEPTH, GLOBAL REACH.

Our strength is knowing Asia from the inside — the nuances, the gatekeepers, the timing. Paired with international ambition, that knowledge becomes a competitive advantage.

END-TO-END OWNERSHIP.

From initial strategy to creative development to on-ground execution, we remain invested throughout the entire lifecycle of every project.
