A Leap into the Chinese Market
Hailing from the United States, Olivia moved to China in 2015, deeply embedding herself in marketing and communications. Her career trajectory significantly turned during her tenure at globally recognized agencies, including Ogilvy.

The agency develops bespoke strategies that encompass influencer partnerships, content creation, and comprehensive account management, ensuring that brands achieve resonance with Chinese audiences. Olivia's strategic vision focuses on cultural integration beyond mere translation to embed brands within China's digital fabric.

Their approach combines strategic planning, community engagement, and meticulous performance analytics to build brand loyalty and drive sustainable growth. Olivia's expertise shines as she elucidates the complexities of e-commerce in China, where Western platforms are just beginning to integrate features long embedded in Chinese apps.
