IN:WA continues to expand its community and voice, recently welcoming Raz Studios, SoCo, Two & Four Agency and Bloom Digital

IN:WA (Independent Commercial Communications Businesses Western Australia) has continued to grow its community, adding four new member agencies so far in 2025.

IN:WA is now building on the collective strength, visibility and voice of Western Australia’s independent communications and creative sector, announcing new member agencies Raz Studios, SoCo, Two & Four Agency and Bloom Digital.

As IN:WA heads towards 40 member companies, and the organisation represents 500+ WA professionals, focus is increasing on the key pillars of the organisation – Sharing, Learning and Representation.

As IN:WA chair, Jeff Champtaloup from Braincells, said: “Developing a stronger voice for our sector is one of the founding principles of IN:WA. As we grow, we strengthen our ability to ensure our member businesses are seen and heard and encourage State Government and corporations to engage more fully with dedicated local people and services.”

Raz Studios (pictured top) is an innovative and independent WA film production company and Executive Producer Mahmudul Raz and Managing Director Amy Raz are excited about joining IN:WA.

Mahmudul Raz said: “Joining IN:WA aligns perfectly with Raz Studios’ ethos and strategic goal to actively support, grow, and invest in Western Australia’s local creative industry. We’re deeply passionate about fostering meaningful collaborations and believe that being part of IN:WA strengthens our commitment to local talent, innovation, and industry excellence.”

SoCo is a content studio with a focus on capturing creative and compelling video and photography for brands. Founder and managing director, Travis Hayto, appreciates the core mission of IN:WA. He said: “We love how IN:WA brings our creative community together. It’s a great chance to swap ideas, learn from each other, and grow together. We are looking forward to getting involved!”

Led by Creative Director Todd Shilkin, and Content Marketing Consultant Clayton Smith, Two & Four Agency creates campaigns and content that helps businesses build recognised brands.

Shilkin and Smith added: “For a combined half a century we’ve worked as solo acts with many agencies who are a part of IN:WA. It’s a great community that can move the industry forward, and we thought getting on the tour bus was better than hanging around the backstage door.“

The addition of Bloom Digital, led by Director Sara Lyon, rounds out IN:WA membership expansion so far in 2025. The organisation is happy and grateful to be consolidating on the growth achieved in 2024, and adding a diverse range of businesses across service specialisations including video and photography production, marketing and digital.

The inclusion of these new agencies continues to build on IN:WA’s mission to advocate for a strong, equitable, and collaborative sector by supporting 100% WA-owned businesses.

As the IN:WA membership grows, so does its capacity to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a united voice for independent agencies in our great state. The organisation remains committed to promoting the economic benefits of supporting local enterprises and strengthening the WA-jobs-first provisions in state and local government procurement processes.
