OUR WORK
Client Profile
A leading China-based communication agency specializing in fashion, beauty, luxury, and lifestyle, with a strong track record serving top international brands.
1
As a founder-led agency with strong local roots and a highly differentiated market position, the company needed to articulate its full strategic value to international buyers—especially those unfamiliar with the nuances of the Chinese communication landscape. In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, all deal processes had to be conducted virtually, adding complexity to negotiations and relationship-building.
