2. Branding New Zealand in North Asian markets
The New Zealand nation brand is a powerful platform for promoting New Zealand products and services in the North Asian markets of China, Japan, and South Korea. This hands-on workshop will provide key insights and practical tools for marketing through storytelling, one which goes beyond the “100% Pure New Zealand” narrative.
3. “Luxurifying” brands in North Asian Markets
Over the last few decades, North Asia has emerged as the fastest-growing market for luxury goods and services worldwide. This workshop will help you start thinking how to position your products, services, and brands as more premium and luxurious in the eyes of Asian consumers.
4. Diverse workplaces: managing teams in, and with, North Asia
This two-hour session is targeted at managers who lead diverse teams – within New Zealand, and also those with team members based in North Asia, including export and sales managers as well as people and capability leads. Learn engagement tips, and hear from business leaders who have successfully built diverse teams and stakeholder networks.
5. Tech business workshop
Targeted at Kiwi tech companies, this workshop will draw on lessons from other firms’ successes and failures to focus your attention on what matters most for succeeding in the region. It offers evidence-based tips and tools you can apply to your business to thrive in the innovation race, which increasingly involves partnering and competing with local players.
