Bernard Hodes Global Network, a centralized worldwide network providing integrated talent solutions to companies on five continents, announced today the opening of an office in China. The new Shanghai-based office adds to the agencyís ability to do business across the Asia Pacific region and support its global clients, many of whom are expanding in the fast-growing China market. For the past 10 years, the agency has been working with clients in China through its established presence in Hong Kong and the new Shanghai-based team will continue to work closely with the Hong Kong office. Besides Hong Kong and Shanghai, the Hodes Network also has other offices in Asia Pacific including Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
Vivienne Wong will lead the newest office among the agencyís Global Network. Vivienne previously worked for Bernard Hodes Group in Hong Kong in the late 1990ís. A graduate of Monash University in Melbourne, Vivienne brings her combined experience in recruitment marketing and general marketing along with her trilingual proficiency in the English, Cantonese and Putonghua languages.
ìWe are very pleased to welcome Vivienne back to accept this exciting new challenge. We have planned our entry into the China market very carefully, and sought to attract a candidate of Vivienneís caliber to ensure the operation is a success. There is clearly a significant demand from our global clients for support in China, and the increasing skills shortages in this fast developing market will allow us to demonstrate the value of our expertise in recruitment marketing and our ability to help clients build strong employer brands,î said Chris Plowman, Hodes Regional Director for Asia Pacific, who launched the first Hodes APAC office in Hong Kong over 10 years ago.
Bernard Hodes Group China will operate as a division of Omnicomís Pathways Marketing Consultants (Shanghai) Ltd. Both Pathways and Bernard Hodes Group are Omnicom Group companies.
