He has provided consulting services for both Global 500 and prestigious international clients, helping them stabilize and expand brand influence in the global market.

Mr. Qi Shuguo believes that despite solving current market challenges, a successful brand strategy could also foresee and grasp future market opportunities.
After the business transformation, Mr. Qi Shuguo deepened his understanding of brand strategy and viewed packaging as an essential bridge linking the brand and consumers together. He advocates that more than helping reflect the brand’s core value and personality, an effective packaging design can directly influence consumers’ purchasing decisions, which in return shortens the distance between the brand and consumers. Therefore, he emphasizes the close integration of packaging design and overall brand strategy to ensure the consistency and coherence of the brand, insisting that “without brand planning, packaging upgrades will not last long, just like a fragmented dream.”
