Tell us about yourself?
Prior to founding Monet Marketing, I spent a significant part of my career in China, leading marketing initiatives for technology companies. My passion for marketing has always driven me, and recognizing the lack of prominent Chinese-led marketing enterprises in Canada, I saw an opportunity. After conducting thorough market research, I decided to establish a specialized marketing agency. My goal was to fill this niche, leveraging my expertise to build a company that stood out for its creative and strategic marketing solutions tailored to the diverse Canadian marketplace.
