Our purpose is to enable international creative industries of all sizes to maximise the impact of their work in China. We do this as a united and influential force — advocating for fairer market conditions, delivering essential industry knowledge, mentoring and training businesses, and enabling the best creative talent to enter our firms.
We are proud to present the Creative Industries & Marketing Directory China 2023. Another thirty international agencies have recently joined the Directory which now comprises 130 of the best international creative and marketing firms from all over China.
Widely distributed, the Creative Industries & Marketing Directory is a much needed tool for marketing teams, brand managers, event organisers and business executives who wish to connect the best international agencies and talent operating in China today.
Featuring companies of all sizes — from micro to mega — the Directory represents a broad range of creative disciplines from Architecture, Design and Marketing to Photography, Theatre and Film companies and more. Click the button below to see or download the latest edition!

The gaming industry is booming in China. At the recently concluded 19th ChinaJoy (the China Digital Entertainment Expo and Conference), a half-year report was released and stated that China’s gaming industry saw total sales revenue up 7.89 per cent year-on-year to hit 150.5 billion yuan ($23.3 billion) over the first six months in 2021. By the end of June in 2021, the number of game players in China topped over 666 million, up 1.38 per cent from a year earlier.
