A Franco-Chinese strategic and creative partner.

We decode behavioral shifts and shape brands for the Chinese market.
WE DECODE BEHAVIORAL SHIFTS, CULTURAL TENSIONS AND DIGITAL ECOSYSTEMS TO BUILD STRATEGIES THAT RESONATE. FROM STRATEGY TO ACTIVATION, WE OPERATE ACROSS THE FULL SPECTRUM — BRAND NARRATIVES, CONTENT ECOSYSTEMS, SOCIAL PLATFORMS AND COMMERCE. WE DON'T ADAPT BRANDS TO CHINA — WE MAKE THEM BELONG.
Why

BECAUSE WE LIVE AND WORK BETWEEN BOTH CULTURES — PARIS AND SHANGHAI. WE DON'T TRANSLATE, WE INTERPRET.

Why

BECAUSE OUR TEAM COMBINES STRATEGIC DEPTH WITH CREATIVE EXECUTION — NO HANDOFF, NO LOST INTENT.
