Shanghai: A City Built for Brand Experiences
Shanghai’s skyline faces off across the Huangpu River, between the historic Bund and the towers of Lujiazui in Pudong. Nanjing Road and Huaihai Road are among the city’s busiest shopping streets.
Xintiandi, Tianzifang and the tree-lined streets of the former French Concession attract trendsetters, Jing’an and People’s Square concentrate retail and offices, and one of the world’s largest metro networks connects it all, along with the Hongqiao transport hub.
Why Shanghai is a Perfect Street Marketing Playground
1. A Retail Powerhouse
Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road and Jing’an host flagship stores and malls, making Shanghai a key city for product launches and pop-up experiences.
2. A Digital-First Audience
Shanghai consumers share everything. Activations designed for WeChat, Douyin and Xiaohongshu extend your street campaign far beyond the location.
3. Trendsetting Districts
Xintiandi, Wukang Road, Anfu Road and the West Bund gather fashion, art and lifestyle audiences open to bold brand concepts.
4. International Events
Shanghai Fashion Week, the Shanghai International Film Festival, the China International Import Expo and the Chinese Grand Prix draw global attention.
5. Local Approvals Handled
Activations in Shanghai require careful preparation. We adapt concepts to local expectations and secure approvals with the relevant authorities.
Our Street Marketing category is much more than a range of services — it’s the melting pot of the most iconic and impactful experiences in street-level branding, innovative urban advertising, and strategic outdoor media planning. This is where bold ideas come to life to engage your audience in fresh, memorable ways.
Our Guerrilla Marketing category is designed for brands that dare — those looking to capture attention and leave a lasting impression through bold, unconventional actions. Here, creativity becomes your most powerful weapon, delivering maximum impact with smart, often leaner investments.
Event Marketing is the art of bringing your brand to life — crafting meaningful moments of genuine connection and engagement. It’s not just about hosting an event, but creating a holistic experience that captivates, informs, entertains, and, most importantly, resonates long after it’s over.
With our Brand Takeover offer, your brand takes over a real place for a day or a whole season: a private beach, a café, a local shop, a rooftop, a boat or a hotel suite. We negotiate the venue, design the branding from the facade to the packaging and run the experience on site.
Our Retail Marketing teams activate your brand where purchases happen: outsourced sales force, merchandising, in-store animation, tasting and product demonstrations, store audits, sales-staff training and point-of-sale activations, with real-time reporting.
Forget the fleeting. Step into the world of Wild Posting and Urban Art, where creativity takes to the streets for a more lasting presence and a uniquely engaging impact. Our approach to wild marketing doesn’t just surprise — it aims to leave an artistic, emotional, and memorable imprint on the urban landscape.
Our Advertising Media range puts your brand in everyday hands: branded bread bags, placemats, tote bags and goodies, plus OOH and DOOH media buying to amplify every street campaign.
