Summer 2005
We’re almost half way through the year and I’m pleased to say we’ve had a very solid first few months across all markets in Asia Pacific. The evidence of this is not just in our business performance, which happily is on track for the targets we have set ourselves this year, but it is also in the great list of new clients that have entrusted us to build their reputations and brands. It is also shown in our efforts to achieve excellent, award-winning results for our existing clients, some of whom are showcased in this edition of Breakthrough.

New clients that have come on board so far during 2005, in one or more markets across Asia Pacific, include Bristol Myers Squibb, JP Morgan Private Banking, Systimax, ViewSonic, IKEA, Starbucks, SC Johnson, Owens Corning, Cathay Pacific and Barclays. There are some fantastic brands represented here, which we are proud to now be supporting. As our global CEO Fred Cook referenced in the previous Breakthrough, we are also making excellent progress in expanding some of our US-based client relationships into this region - so far this year, we’ve done this with Bristol Myers Squibb, SC Johnson and Owens Corning. Equally important, we are continuing to build and strengthen relationships with existing clients across all our offices, handling many new projects and initiatives.

Pivotal to our ongoing success will be the quality of our client work. That means a relentless, passionate focus on creativity and generating "breakthrough" ideas for our clients – balanced with the honest and trustworthy approach that has been the GolinHarris hallmark for almost 50 years.
