Listed in Hong Kong. Credible to your European audiences.

Your next European decision
Acquisition or joint venture
Explain industrial logic, shareholding and governance. Prepare discussions with the target's employees, customers and public contacts in coordination with the transactional team.
Subsidiary or industrial establishment
Translate the group's ambition into precise local contribution: activities, investment stages, skills, suppliers and documented commitments.
Technological or automobile launch
Anticipate questions about data, service, reliability and continuity of supply. Link commercial promises to demonstrable elements.
A stock announcement and a local explanation meet distinct needs
The SFC recommendations emphasize clear and balanced information and address publication in Chinese and English. Those responsible for governance, investor relations and legal counsel determine the applicable obligations. We organize communication around this framework: validated facts, spokespersons, translations, local questions and response to a leak.

How should a Hong Kong-listed company choose the best PR agency in Europe?
The right European PR partner is the one that can turn your specific investment into accurate, relevant communication. For a Hong Kong-listed technology, automotive or industrial group, evaluate local judgment, sector understanding and disclosure coordination before the size of a media contact list.

Read in English ↗Your questions before you start
When to involve communication consulting?
Before freezing the announcement device. An initial diagnosis identifies the audiences, the missing evidence and the validations that condition communication.
Can we use the same message for all audiences?
The facts remain consistent. Investors, employees, journalists and local stakeholders need different explanations, without additional promises not published in local media.
What first deliverables to expect?
A framed diagnosis, a mapping of stakeholders, a documented story, a plan for announcing and managing sensitive subjects, as well as a distribution of responsibilities. Scope and schedule are defined from the brief.
Prepare the first exchange
For a first exchange: listing place, public presentation of the group, countries envisaged, maturity of the project, decision timetable, advice mobilized and sensitive subjects identified. Public information is sufficient to frame the discussion; confidential elements may be shared through an agreed channel.
