Commenting on the move, Susan Field, who founded Impact Asia in 1990 said, “The decision to set up in Shanghai was taken after we received a growing number of enquiries from new and existing clients asking us to provide them with a high level of service in China as well as Hong Kong and other cities in Asia. Given that we have worked in China for some years on various high profile projects, we feel the time is perfect to establish a more permanent presence there.

“We will offer the same services in Shanghai as in Hong Kong - public relations, event management and graphic design - ensuring clients, old and new, can enjoy our “one stop shop” business model.”
