Bring it here. Make it land.

Most companies do not fail here because the product is wrong. They fail because nobody local knows them, the channel does not fit, and the message was written for a different audience. We work on all three from day one.

• Market reading: who actually buys, at what price, through which channel
• Competitive and pricing review against local alternatives
• Product, packaging and brand adaptation for North American consumers
• Retail, distribution, e-commerce and partner channel building
• B2B introductions, key-account access and deal support
• Entity setup, local operations, hiring support and day-to-day representation
• Launch planning: from a soft first market test to a full campaign
• Compliance, labelling and regulatory guidance with specialist partners

We buy local media and we also make the thing worth covering. Positioning, story, creative and placement are handled together, in both English and Chinese, for mainstream and diaspora audiences.

• Local media placement and advertising across Greater Vancouver and beyond
• Brand positioning and storytelling for a North American audience
• Bilingual copy, creative and campaign assets in English and Chinese
• Content, social and creator collaborations
• Mainstream and Chinese-language community media in Canada
• Agency representation for selected companies
• Reporting on reach, response and what to change next

Reputation and relationships are built before you need them. We handle the public story and the official one — with long-standing partners on both sides of the Pacific.

• Public relations, reputation and issue management
• Media training and spokesperson preparation
• Government relations, stakeholder mapping and engagement
• Media campaigns, launches and ongoing distribution
• Established partnerships across public affairs and communications
• Crisis communications and sensitive-issue handling

We do not run events by checklist. We start from what we want people to feel and who should be in the room, then work backwards to the guest list, the format and the conversation — and we keep the connections alive afterwards.

• Private salons, cultural evenings and curated dinners
• Brand moments, launches and press-facing experiences
• Community gatherings for families, founders and newcomers
• Forums, panels and closed-door briefings with invited guests
• Concept, guest curation, hosting, production and on-site management
• Media coverage and content capture around the event
• Follow-through after the night ends, so relationships continue

Custom learning journeys for students, families and corporate teams — with real laboratory and studio access, not sightseeing.

• Custom learning journeys in politics and law, architecture, life sciences
• Laboratory practicum with cooperating research institutes and hospitals
• Small cohorts, practitioner faculty and supervisor evaluations
• Delivered online and in person with Oakfast Health partners

Placements with real supervisors, real protocols and a written evaluation at the end — arranged one student at a time, matched to the field they actually intend to pursue.

• Laboratory internships in cell biology, synthetic biology and stem-cell research
• Placements through cooperating research institutes and affiliated hospitals
• Politics and law, architecture and design tracks with practitioner mentors
• Integrated with CAS Jianlan resources and Oakfast Health partners
• Pre-departure preparation, on-site support and a supervisor's written evaluation
• Portfolio, recommendation-letter and application guidance afterwards

For students aged roughly 13 to 22 who want to build something rather than only study it. Small cohorts, real mentors, and a venture that is presented to actual operators at the end.

• Foundations: business models, customers, pricing, unit economics
• Team venture project from idea to a working prototype or first sale
• Mentorship from Vancouver founders, investors and operators
• Pitch training, public speaking and bilingual presentation skills
• Company visits, market fieldwork and investor Q&A sessions
• Demo day, written feedback and a certificate of completion

Families who move across borders rarely lose money first — they lose alignment. We help the generation that built it and the generation that will carry it agree on what is being passed on, and how.

• Family governance: charters, family councils and decision rules
• Succession planning for the business and for family roles
• Next-generation preparation: education paths, mentoring and first responsibilities
• Cross-border coordination with your lawyers, tax advisers and trustees
• Family philanthropy, reputation and public presence
• Facilitated family conversations, held privately and patiently
