The agency won the account after several rounds of discussions with the client, without a pitch. Leo Burnett Hong Kong is tasked to handle Stepper Eyewear's global brand launch on consumer and retail level and create a global brand positioning.

Hans Stepper, founder of Stepper Eyewear based in Hong Kong, commented, "After several meetings with the agency team, I was really impressed by the creativity and the work that Leo Burnett Hong Kong has done for different brands from different categories."

"I am confident that the team will come up with a sound brand strategy and positioning that's best fit for Stepper, and I trust that with such, we'll be able to make Stepper a bigger global brand."
