Words from clients & partners

What it's like to work with OctoPlus — in their words.

The team is very professional and has demonstrated a very positive attitude since day 1. They understand clients' needs and allow us to make good use of our budget for targeting the China market. I would welcome the opportunity to work with them again.

Christie LeeSenior Manager, Marketing — ifc mall, Hong Kong

OctoPlus brought clarity to a market we found hard to read. Their platform knowledge and media relationships saved us months of trial and error.

Client NameMarketing Director — Retail Brand

A rare agency that combines strong execution with real strategic thinking. They challenged our assumptions in a good way.

Client NameHead of Brand — F&B Group

Communication was smooth from day one. English, Cantonese, Mandarin — no friction, no misunderstanding, no translation delays.

Client NameRegional Marketing Lead — Beauty Brand

They treated our budget like their own. Every dollar was tracked, every channel was questioned, every result was reported honestly.

Client NameFounder — D2C Skincare Brand

Their China Media Library alone is worth the partnership. It gave our team a reference point we couldn't find anywhere else.

Client NameDigital Lead — Hospitality Group

We came for one campaign and stayed for three years. That says everything about the trust they've built.

Client NameBrand Director — Consumer Electronics

As a channel partner, we've referred OctoPlus to several of our brands. They never made us regret it once.

Partner NameRegional Director — Media NetworkChannel Partner

Precise, responsive and honest about what would and wouldn't work. That honesty is rare in this industry.

Client NameCMO — Wellness Brand

From brief to reporting, everything was structured. No surprises, no hidden scope, no inflated numbers. Just work that performed.

Client NameMarketing Manager — Fashion Retail

English Cantonese Mandarin
  • 15 years of hands-on China market experience. We know the consumers, platforms and channels from working in them — not from reports about them.
  • English, Cantonese and Mandarin. We work fluently across all three languages, with your team and with the China market — no translation layer, no lost nuance.
  • Teams across Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Malaysia. International in communication, deeply local in China market knowledge, and fluent in both worlds.
  • Marketing execution is our core discipline. Strategy recommendations are grounded in what can actually be produced, published and measured.

Two markets, two languages, two ways of working. Our teams move between them daily, so nothing gets lost when your brand meets China — or when China responds.
