SHIFT

The Agency of Research and Creation (ARC) is a bold, long-term endeavour born in 2024,

conceived by Brand Experience Strategists Annie Chou and Robert Joel Cortez. With nearly

four decades of combined expertise shaping brands and crafting experiences for global visionaries,

this venture is more than a project—it represents the evolution of their careers, design philosophies,

and a shared commitment to redefining the future of brand-to-audience connection.


At ARC, we recognize the big shift happening in consumer preferences: a movement towards brands 

and institutions that prioritize connection and experiential engagement. We believe experiences are 

fundamental to human existence, shaping how people align with the world around them. In a fast-paced,

technology-driven era where artificial intelligence, organoid intelligence, and humans coexist, we are 

driven to explore what it truly means to connect, engage, and be human.
