European ownership.
Chinese execution.
A fully transparent, European-owned China market entry agency — operating on the ground in Shanghai since 2013.
Giving foreign brands the operations, strategy, and local team to succeed in China
For most brands, China is a black box — valuable but mysterious and difficult to navigate. Getting it right requires local knowledge, operational capability, and a partner you can trust. That’s where we come in.

Marek Matura & Alexander Schultz
Western consultancies couldn’t execute. Chinese agencies couldn’t communicate. There was no third option — so we built it.
We saw a gap in the market. No single partner was offering foreign brands everything they needed to succeed in China — e-commerce, social media, logistics, compliance, content, and reporting — all under one roof, with full transparency.
Since 2013, we’ve evolved the agency to cover every aspect of China market entry, sales, and marketing. What started as a focused e-commerce operation has grown into a full-service partner that runs stores, manages social channels, coordinates logistics, handles compliance, creates content, and reports back in your language, on your schedule.

Brands that trust us
From luxury and automotive to outdoor sports and cosmetics.
The third option nobody else built
Western consultancies do strategy. Chinese agencies do execution. We built one company that does both.
Chinese Agency
Fast on the ground. But when things break, communication breaks down first.
- ✓ Local execution speed
- × Opaque reporting
- × Communication gaps
- × Unclear financials
European ownership. Chinese team.
A European point of contact who understands your needs. A Chinese team who runs everything on the ground.
- ✓ Local execution speed
- ✓ Clear English reporting
- ✓ Full financial transparency
- ✓ Western accountability
Western Consultancy
Great strategy decks. But someone else still has to execute.
- ✓ Clear communication
- ✓ Good strategy
- × No execution
- × Very expensive

First call to live operations
Whether you’re entering for the first time or fixing what isn’t working, most brands go from first call to live store in under four months.
“We want to enter China but don’t know where to start.”
You’ve identified China as a priority market but don’t have a team on the ground. We handle everything from trademark filing to live store operations.
“We’re already in China but it’s not working.”
Sales are flat, communication is broken, or you’ve lost visibility. We audit what exists and take over with full transparency.
Discovery Call
30-minute conversation about your brand and China goals. No pitch deck — just an honest assessment of whether China makes sense right now.
Market Assessment
Competitor pricing, consumer reviews, regulatory requirements, and realistic sales expectations across relevant platforms.
Setup & Launch
Trademark filing, store application, product listing, content localization, logistics setup. Our Shanghai team handles everything.
Ongoing Operations
Daily store management, customer service, ad campaigns, promotions calendar, monthly English reporting.
What they say about working with us

Not corporate values on a poster. The rules we use to make decisions every day — including the uncomfortable ones.
Radical Transparency
You see what we spend, what we do, and what the results are. Full backend access, clear financials, no hidden fees.
Honest Assessment
We’ll tell you upfront if China isn’t the right market for your brand right now — even if it means losing the project.
Ownership, Not Outsourcing
Our team does the work directly. We don’t outsource store operations, content creation, or customer service.
Long-Term Partnerships
Our average client engagement runs for years, not months. Several clients have been with us since 2015.
Brand First
You own every store account, every trademark, every piece of data. If you leave, everything stays with you.
No Vanity Metrics
We report on GMV, conversion rate, ad spend ROI, and customer acquisition cost. Not follower counts.

Questions we hear most
If yours isn’t here, book a call — we don’t gatekeep information. Book a call or send us an email.
We do outsource where it makes sense — warehousing, customs clearance, last-mile delivery. But the important parts — strategy, store operations, content creation, customer service, reporting — are all done by our team directly. Full financial transparency. One point of contact.
You can. The common problems: communication gaps, opaque financials, and difficulty enforcing quality from 8,000 km away. We exist because brands got burned and wanted Western accountability with local execution.
Yes. Several clients came to us after working with other agencies. We audit what exists, fix what’s broken, and take over operations with full transparency.
Yes, and before anything else. China is first-to-file — whoever registers first owns it. Registration takes 8–12 months. We handle the full process.
Cosmetics and skincare, health supplements, fragrance, premium F&B, pet care, mother and baby, outdoor sports, and consumer goods.
Yes. We manage Chinese social media for brands, organizations, and institutions — whether or not they already have a presence in China. Content creation, publishing, and community management on WeChat, Little Red Book (Xiaohongshu), Douyin, and Weibo.
