Impactasia folded into Cohn & Wolfe's Greater China operations

Subject to regulatory approval, the deal will give Cohn & Wolfe a Hong Kong presence while tripling its size for it to become one of Greater China’s more prominent agencies.

The merged agency, Cohn & Wolfe-impactasia, will have more than 80 professionals and will work with domestic, regional and international brands such as Rolls Royce, Hotels.com, Guinness, Pernod Ricard, MGM Hospitality, Robert Half International, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and Sofitel Luxury Hotels.
