Full-service marketing, PR, and public affairs agency Third Hemisphere is expanding its reach into Singapore and Indonesia, complemented by new client wins across fintech, investment, healthcare AI, and social impact.
The Aussie agency’s push into Singapore and Indonesia represents an evolution from domestic fintech specialist to regional powerhouse spanning multiple high-growth sectors.
Singapore’s position as a regional financial and technology hub creates natural opportunities for specialised communications agencies with proven track records in highly regulated sectors. Indonesia’s emergence as a major digital economy also creates opportunities for communications agencies with expertise in technology, fintech, and impact investing.
Third Hemisphere’s recent client acquisitions see it leveraging its credentials across technology, finance, and climate sectors built over a decade in Australian markets, then scaling that expertise across Singapore’s financial ecosystem while expanding into adjacent sectors like investment management, impact investing, and social enterprise communications.
Singapore fintech wins establish regional foothold
Third Hemisphere has secured multiple clients across the past quarter, including Singapore-based blockchain trade finance platform 129Knots. The wins are part of a strategy built on work with clients spanning fintech (MONEYME, OKX, Hejaz), investment (Scalare Partners, GPS Investment Fund, Axletree), energy and technology (HB11 Energy, Type One Energy, Golf.ai), and social impact (Care GP, Australian Parents for Climate, Women & Children First).
129Knots focuses on global supply chain finance through blockchain technology, delivering advanced trade audit trails across marine energy, telecommunications, and energy transition sectors. The Singapore-based platform was incubated under the Singapore Economic Development Board’s Corporate Venture Launchpad programme with support from McKinsey & Company, Enterprise Singapore, and IBM Consulting.
“These wins represent our natural evolution across sectors. We’ve spent a decade helping Australian pioneers establish credibility and drive growth, from fintech and investment to climate technology and social impact. Now we’re applying that expertise across Singapore’s sophisticated ecosystem. Each client requires communications partners who understand not just the technology or investment strategy, but the regulatory frameworks and stakeholder dynamics that determine success in these markets,” Hannah Moreno, founder and CEO of Third Hemisphere, and B&T‘s 2023 Women Leading Tech Awards’ Woman of the Year, said.
“The geographic and sector expansion was carefully timed. We built deep expertise across multiple domains in Australian markets first, which created the foundation for regional growth. Singapore represents a natural next step given the sophistication of its financial, technology, and impact investing sectors,” Jeremy Liddle, Managing Director, said.
Investment, technology, and AI portfolio expansion
Third Hemisphere’s growth demonstrates portfolio diversification across investment communications, healthcare technology, and climate innovation. Recent wins include GPS Investment Fund Limited, a first mortgage lender where management invests alongside clients, Axletree, a sustainable technology growth fund manager providing patient capital to growth-stage companies, and Care GP, an Australian healthcare AI startup building agentic AI for healthcare provider operations.
Care GP is an agentic AI suite designed specifically for GP clinics, helping clinics save an average of 4.3 hours of administrative time per day by automating medical documents, billing, and patient communications. The platform integrates with existing practice systems and is built with privacy-by-design principles.
Third Hemisphere’s climate technology portfolio includes HB11 Energy and Type One Energy.
The agency also supports Golf.ai, pioneering AI-powered golf technology that makes the game smarter and more accessible through advanced data analytics.
Social enterprise and mission-driven communications
Third Hemisphere’s social impact wins include Oho, a dedicated credential verification platform purpose-built to protect children and vulnerable people, The Orbispace Initiative, a charity delivering STEAM education programmes for young women, and pro bono work for Women & Children First, an Australian charity providing emergency accommodation and support for women and children experiencing homelessness or domestic violence.
The agency also supports Australian Parents for Climate, a climate advocacy organisation for parents, carers, families, and all who care about a safe future for children. Founded in 2019, the organisation educates and empowers supporters to make the climate safer for every child.
Oho has detected more than 500 critical safeguarding risks across 135 organisations in disability, care, and community sectors, saving over 110,000 hours in compliance administration. The Orbispace Initiative’s students are 50 per cent more likely to pursue STEM subjects than their peers, addressing Australia’s skills crisis.
As innovation accelerates across technology, finance, climate, and impact sectors in Asia-Pacific markets, demand for specialised communications expertise will continue to intensify. Third Hemisphere’s positioning across these sectors, combined with a track record spanning Australian and Singapore markets, positions the agency to capture growth as these trends continue.
