Helping Wolff Olins bring an ancient philosophy to a modern space

Helping Wolff Olins bring an ancient philosophy to a modern space

When branding agency Wolff Olins brought us on board to help craft and write the Chinese-language materials for a new urban development Genesis Beijing, the challenge was about more than just volume – it would need careful, crafted transcreation skill.

At the heart of the brand sat a philosophy based on wu wei (无为) – a concept of ‘flow’, which we set out to faithfully and sensitively convey in every touch point of our Chinese translation: from brand guidelines, to hoardings, press releases and promo yoga mats.

If you need to tell a deeper story, let’s talk about how we can help.
