The first quarter of 2023 is coming to end soon, we are so happy to have been running numerous face-to-face focus groups and co-creation workshops in Shanghai/Hong Kong, at the same time, discussing with the consumers from around Asia over Zoom. The new hybrid way of communication not only brings back to us the tangible and highly interactive discussion that we used to have before, but also a more efficient way of idea generation without location restriction. Change is never an end in itself, let's be bold and embrace a "change mindset" in the new normal, to drive the change that we wanna see.

The last two focus groups of the Year of the Tiger were well completed today in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu. We will continue the discussions with the consumers in Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan after the Chinese New Year. 
According to Oxford Economics, the Year of Rabbit will be a truly thriving year, especially for the APAC region. We are very much looking forward to it! Wish you all a prosperous Year of the Rabbit!!
