Local know-how
What to know before you go
PR and digital marketing in Hong Kong
Marketing in Hong Kong works in two languages. Chinese and English are both official languages under the Basic Law, so many brands write for Chinese and English readers side by side, and some campaigns also reach audiences across the border in mainland China.
Hong Kong is a regional base for many international brands and agencies, while local and mainland Chinese brands compete for the same shoppers. Teams often mix approaches, from quick, sales-focused campaigns to longer brand building and online communities. The team you join could lean either way.
As an intern, you might write English copy, research how different audiences respond, or help report on campaign results. Ask your career advisor how much of the work is in English and how much in Chinese, and which kind of team is open for your dates.
