We support Italian companies in identifying the best marketing strategies for the promotion of Made in Italy products in China. At the same time, we assist Chinese companies to better develop and communicate their business in the Italian and European markets. The analysis of each company's needs allows us to offer ad hoc solutions such as, for example, brand or product repositioning, the creation of a narrative in line with the reference market, the so-called Chinese naming.
