DG2CI

DG2CI serves multinational corporations, mid-sized enterprises, and organizations seeking to expand or strengthen their presence in Asia, particularly in the Chinese market. The firm works with clients across B2B sectors, including technology, professional services, and industrial companies, as well as educational institutions and consulting firms. Its clients typically require integrated support that goes beyond traditional public relations, often needing strategic advice on market entry, stakeholder communication, and business development in complex regulatory environments.

How DG2CI Helps Clients Navigate Complex Markets

DG2CI structures its work around the reality that effective communication in China and across Asia requires a deep understanding of local business culture, media landscapes, and regulatory frameworks. The firm’s approach combines strategic counsel with hands-on execution, helping clients align their corporate narratives with local expectations while maintaining global brand consistency. Its team in Shanghai, China, works closely with offices in Hong Kong and Paris to provide cross-border coordination, particularly for European companies entering the Chinese market or Chinese firms looking to communicate internationally. The firm’s consulting arm advises on market entry strategies, partnership development, and operational planning, while its education and knowledge division offers training programs on Chinese business practices, cultural intelligence, and effective communication skills for expatriate and local teams.

Core Service Areas

DG2CI’s service portfolio is organized around three interconnected pillars, allowing clients to engage the firm for discrete projects or comprehensive support. The following are representative services the firm typically offers based on its stated expertise and industry keywords:

• Corporate communications and public relations strategy, including media relations, crisis communication, and messaging development for B2B audiences
• Business consulting for market entry, including feasibility studies, partner identification, and regulatory analysis for foreign companies
• Knowledge and education services, such as cross-cultural training, executive briefings on Chinese market dynamics, and workshops on effective communication in Asia
• Reputation management and stakeholder engagement, particularly for multinationals navigating sensitive regulatory or public perception issues
• Content creation and thought leadership, including white papers, articles, and executive presentations tailored to industry and policy audiences
• Event management and executive communication support for product launches, press conferences, and industry forums in Shanghai and other Chinese cities

Global Reach with Local Roots in Shanghai

DG2CI maintains a strong operational presence across three key global cities, with its headquarters in Shanghai, China. The Shanghai office serves as the hub for its Asia-focused work, leveraging deep local media contacts, government relations expertise, and understanding of Chinese digital ecosystems. The firm’s Paris office supports European clients, while the Hong Kong office provides additional capacity for financial communications and regional coordination. This triangular structure allows DG2CI to offer seamless support for clients with cross-border needs, such as European tech companies launching products in China or Chinese manufacturers expanding into European markets. The firm’s focus on knowledge and education sets it apart from traditional PR agencies, as it invests in helping clients build internal capabilities alongside external communications.

Who DG2CI Is a Good Fit For

DG2CI is well-suited for B2B companies, professional services firms, and educational organizations that require more than standard media outreach. Clients that benefit most from DG2CI are those entering or operating in China for the first time, established multinationals needing nuanced local communication strategies, or organizations looking to train their teams on cross-cultural effectiveness. The firm’s consulting and educational offerings make it particularly relevant for management consulting firms, technology companies, and industrial enterprises that value strategic depth over high-volume press coverage. Small to mid-sized European companies seeking a trusted partner in Shanghai will find DG2CI’s integrated model and international team a practical choice for navigating the complexities of the Chinese market.
