  • (1888PressRelease) November 09, 2010 - The proposition, which combines SmithStreet's ability to draw deep insights on business in China and Vanguard's ability to form effective strategies to address consumer behavior, will provide clients with a comprehensive platform to understand how to define and sell to various consumer cohorts, compete for consumer choice, and grow effectively across China.

    SmithStreet's expertise in primary research digs deep into the value chain to understand market drivers and competitor strategies, creating a basis for consumer segmentation and strategy. Vanguard's approach is a quantitative, integrated, and economically correct market framework to make dynamic scenario simulations for strategy development, evaluation and implementation.

    "We believe the synergies created through this partnership will be mutually beneficial for both parties. The cooperation will provide a platform to deliver optimal consumer branding and strategy solutions for our clients that are looking to expand their reach into the China market," says Franklin Yao, CEO of SmithStreetSolutions.

    "Because the Chinese market is so dynamic the classic consulting approaches falls short for a successful China market strategy. Jointly we provide a fact-based approach to simulate and analyze the impact of China market dynamics on optimal market strategy" says Lars Finskud, MD of Vanguard Strategy.
