Case Study: A Global Brand’s Success Story
Recently, we assisted a leading international brand in filming a high-end commercial across multiple Shanghai locations. From the iconic Bund to hidden gems in the French Concession, our team delivered a seamless production experience. The result? A visually stunning ad that resonated with audiences worldwide. Our location specialists worked closely with the creative team to identify spots that would showcase both Shanghai’s modernity and its rich cultural heritage.

This comprehensive approach allowed the production team to focus entirely on creative execution rather than logistical challenges.
