The biscuit market in China is extremely competitive with global brands such as Kraft and many local players like Master Kong scrambling for market share.
“In order to cut through the clutter in the China market, we have to come up with unique communications that leverage the brand’s popularity among Chinese consumers in Hong Kong and worldwide,” said Kenny Wong, MD, WE Marketing, Shanghai.
The first campaign will kick off in April, first in Eastern China before expanding to other parts of the country; the company does not have an incumbent agency but used different agencies in Hong Kong for its products.
