With global billings of US$480m and 16 offices worldwide, they are well established, having been in the business for 35 years. Though the Hong Kong office had been established for over 3 years, they required assistance to raise their profile in the market and increase revenue. In addition, there was the popular market misconception that Poster Publicity was a media owner which damaged their integrity and made it hard for them to appear credible & unbiased to clients. This needed to be addressed urgently.
