Hong Kong
Named Consultancy of the Year at the 2005 Asia Pacific PR Awards, Weber Shandwick’s Hong Kong office is one of Hong Kong’s top public relations firms. It represents both local and multinational clients in the areas of consumer marketing, corporate and financial communications, healthcare/pharmaceuticals, and IT/technology.
Hong Kong continues to thrive as one of Asia’s major commercial and media centers, with global corporations choosing to base their regional headquarters in Hong Kong because of its outstanding infrastructure and proximity to mainland China and the rest of north Asia.
The Hong Kong team is experienced not only in public relations and strategic communications, but also in such areas as television and print journalism, politics, pharmaceuticals, the arts, tourism, technology, marketing, and advertising. While more than 80 percent of the Hong Kong staff is local Chinese, the office is truly multilingual with Cantonese, Mandarin, English, French, Danish, German and Spanish among the languages spoken.
Among its other accolades, the Hong Kong office won a Gold SABRE award for the Asia Pacific category in 2006, the Research category at the 2006 Asia Pacific PR Awards, Young PR Professional of the Year at the 2004 Asia Pacific PR Awards, and a Certificate of Excellence at the 2004 SABRE Awards for international media relations for the International AIDS Conference.
In addition, in 2006, the Hong Kong office was the only office in Asia to win Weber Shandwick’s firm-wide
Making a Difference award for its pro-bono work for the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. Work included support for the organization’s new support center, CancerLink Central.
