Founded in 1962, the company operates as an affiliate of the LG Group and provides a comprehensive range of services including creative concept development; advertisement production across four major media channels; brand marketing; media planning and buying; mobile and wireless advertising; event and space design; management of advertising, media, research, and celebrity marketing; and integrated digital marketing communications. HS Ad serves clients domestically in South Korea and internationally through a global network of offices in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Paris, London, and Dubai, among others. The company underwent a significant rebranding in 2023, changing the spelling of its name to HSAD to emphasize its strategic shift from traditional advertising to a broader marketing creative company model.

In 2024, HSAD commercialized an integrated marketing AI platform named "DASH.AI," aimed at automating up to 80% of digital advertisement production processes like web banners. This platform was developed in collaboration with LG AI researchers and internal AI experts, reinforcing the company's technology-driven marketing innovation strategy. HS Ad's business segments include advertising production, marketing strategy consulting, media planning and buying, brand management, digital and mobile advertising, event management, and space design services. It targets a wide range of customers from consumer brands to corporate clients seeking integrated marketing solutions. The company has sustained growth evidenced by increasing sales figures and operating profit, with a 2023 operating profit reported around 26 billion South Korean won, the highest in a decade. The firm maintains subsidiaries and creative boutiques, including Wisebell, to enhance its global and creative capabilities. Overall, HS Ad operates as a leading marketing and advertising agency with comprehensive service offerings focusing on creative marketing communications and digital innovation to deliver differentiated customer experiences worldwide.
