Our founder Le Dong, a seasoned communications expert with Sino-German roots, recognized early on the challenges companies face in an increasingly connected and digitalized world. With over 20 years of experience in various industries such as automotive, technology, fashion, luxury accessories, electrical appliances, medical devices and consumer goods, gained through her work for leading companies in China and Germany, Le Dong has extensive expertise in developing and implementing communication strategies for demanding target groups. Her work for brands such as Ferrari, Maserati, Sony, Nissan and Marc O’Polo ranges from the development of corporate identity and marketing campaigns to the conception and implementation of online media for e-commerce and event marketing.
At Le Dong Communications, we are aware of the challenges that Chinese companies and brands face when entering the German market. Many try to understand the German and European market but often use strategies and methods that are successful in China but do not always reach the hearts of the German target audience. Our biggest advantage is to help Chinese brands communicate in a way that is acceptable and appealing to Germans. We understand the cultural nuances and know how to convey the right messages – be it by using German proverbs instead of Chinese translations or by adapting imagery and tonality to the expectations of the German target audience.
