Australian creative content agency The Pulse announced today (December 10) that it has opened an office in Hong Kong as part of its global expansion to cater to the growing regional and international demand for its services.
The new Hong Kong office is located in Wan Chai. Managing Director and Founder of the agency Mr Brett Heil has relocated to Hong Kong to manage existing clients and oversee the expansion of the brand across Asia. The move follows intensive market research on demand for creative content and is a reflection of the company's long-term commitment to the region, Mr Heil said.
"When considering locations for international expansion, Hong Kong was a highly desirable choice, not only for the economic potential but also for its entrepreneurial business culture, low taxes and a simple taxation system, proximity to major markets and sound regulations," he said.
"We have established a reputation as a leader in the emerging field of branded user experiences featuring leading edge technologies. Hong Kong's world-class information and communications infrastructure, combined with a technologically savvy workforce with international and Mainland perspectives, makes it a perfect fit for a company like ours," he added.
"Mainland China is the fastest growing economy in the world, and now with an office in Hong Kong and an expanding team, The Pulse is well positioned to take advantage of this growth. It's an exciting time." he said.
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang said, "Hong Kong is one of the Asia-Pacific region's leading design and creative centres, backed by a range of strengths such as freedom of expression, unique multicultural heritage, regional and international awareness and a strategic location. All these make the city an ideal base for creative companies to expand in the region."
