OMD is the brand’s media agency in Hong Kong, with McCann Erickson handling its branding in China.

DDB has previously worked for the credit card division of American International Group (AIG). The agency’s recent wins include Fortress, which recently launched a TVC campaign staring Canto-pop singer Kate Tse.

Other recent wins include Vitasoy and ZTE, a Chinese telecommunications equipment provider

Bank of China was established in Hong Kong over 80 years ago.
