“Sony Ericsson and Kangnai are great wins for us as we expand the Beijing office’s involvement in telecommunications and fashion. Our client work has also seen the office make strong developments in skill sets including strategic planning, integrated creativity, digital communications and shopper marketing. These are the areas our clients are most interested in developing,” she added.
