Best Localization Of An International Brand – Gold
Petit Bateau is a French fashion house of quality clothing and underwear for children that dates to 1893. As Petit Bateau steps up its expansion in China, Labbrand Group was entrusted with developing a localized brand strategy for Petit Bateau in China, which involved adapting the brand platform and messaging for the local market, alongside a comprehensive communication plan on various touchpoints. The messaging underwent consumer testing and ensured a strong emotional resonance with Chinese consumers. To amplify the brand’s reach, influence, and recognition in the Chinese market, we collaborated with KOLs to spearhead diverse offline campaigns, effectively expanding the dissemination of the revamped brand messages
The result is a brand that is still distinctively Petit Bateau, but with an approachable, Chinese flair. One judge said, “Perfect strategy and execution. Well-deserved recognition. Bravo!!.” Another praised the “rigorous process to arrive at a localized brand strategy that decodes the Chinese consumer psyche.”

Labbrand Group created a new type of automobile experience for NEV, focusing on an enhanced touch, sound, and user experience, delivering a diverse brand experience tailored to the target audience of Deepal Auto.
