CatchOn rebrands to FINN Partners Greater China

Marketing and communications agency CatchOn- A FINN Partners Company is rebranding to FINN Partners Greater China, with effect from 28 September 2023, as confirmed to MARKETING-INTERACTIVE.

CatchOn, with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, is specialised in brand development, marketing communications, market research, public relations and digital. CatchOn joined the global marketing and communications firm FINN Partners in 2019 and has been operating under the name of CatchOn – A FINN Partners Company.

The addition of CatchOn’s staff in Hong Kong and Shanghai aimed at strengthening FINN Partners capabilities in China and bring its total Asia staff strength to more than 70. It also helped grow its global travel and hospitality team to more than 100 professionals. 

Now, as the agency expands its regional presence and celebrates its 25th year of establishment, it has decided to operate under the new name FINN Partners Greater China. 

"We already called ourselves FINN Partners since 2019 so this isn’t necessarily a new name but a more distilled one, which capitalises on FINN Partners’ growing global network and the numerous awards and recognitions the group has received through the years," Cathy Feliciano-Chon, managing partner, FINN Partners Greater China told MARKETING-INTERACTIVE.

Feliciano-Chon added that there are no changes to the existing team and leadership, apart from its plans to continue to grow its capabilities in all three offices, including Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. 

MARKETING-INTERACTIVE has reached out to CatchOn for more information.
