    Helping brands understand and grow in China

    So brilliant to have a full room for our panel yesterday at the China-Britain Business Council's #ukchinabusinessforum A pleasure to present our CBBC x TONG Global report on Collaboration & Competition for consumer brands in China, and discuss with my fellow panelists what makes for a successful collaboration. Some key takeaways from the panel discussion: 🌏 The China opportunity is no longer just in China. Opportunities to engage with diaspora are growing year-on-year, and as Chinese brands go global there are opportunities for localised cross-brand collaborations 📱China's digital-first consumers love sharing great (and terrible) brand collaborations on Chinese social - so if you get it right, the impact can be massive. See Loewe's recent marketing activation with Hello Bike, which has been dominating my Rednote feed for weeks. 🧬 Kai-Chuan Chao from the British Library summed up perfectly how to approach partnerships: knowing your own DNA and making sure that's the core of your collaboration For more insights download the full report for a host of case studies on how brands like BALENCIAGA and The British Library are taking groundbreaking collaborations with Chinese brands and businesses to the next level, and how major Chinese brands like MINISO UK and HEYTEA are coming to (or already in) an international market near you.

    😢Today marks my last day at TONG Global, and I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey I’ve had over the past three and a half years. This chapter has been life-changing for me, both professionally and personally, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude ❤️. Before joining TONG, transitioning from retail sales to an office role felt almost impossible. Many doubted my ability to succeed without direct experience, and I questioned myself constantly. But everything changed when I met James Campbell 甘吉 and the TONG team. From day one, I felt inspired, valued, and supported in ways I had never experienced before. The environment at TONG allowed me to be free, open, and honest—a place built on mutual trust and genuine care. It has redefined my understanding of what a positive workplace can be and showed me that not all bosses and managers are as intimidating as I once believed. To my TONG family, thank you for everything. I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and I’ll always cherish the memories we’ve created. Wish us continued success 🍻 Here’s to new beginnings! 🌟
