I had a very insightful luxury ethnographic safari with FDKG. They have great contacts in China, they love it, and apparently China loves them. That gives FDKG a unique opportunity to develop deep insights into what is going on there, and then share it with western companies such as Pernod Ricard. Even though we are well installed in Asia and China in particular, and have a lot of contacts and research studies ourselves, this type of intimate learning was invaluable for me.

FDKG offers a unique market intelligence service, which is driven by a combination of robust understanding of the international luxury goods sector together with intimate local Chinese market insight. The multi-lingual team, based in Shanghai and London, has offered Thomas Lyte limitless support as we ourselves prepare our road map for an Asian launch. Added to this few organizations can match their detailed and hands-on appreciation of the burgeoning HNWI’s segment. Thomas Lyte would not hesitate to recommend the FDKG to any luxury player who is serious about entering the Chinese sector.

They didn’t just advise us. They rolled up their sleeves, translated our brand for China—and got results.
