万博宣伟亚洲-太平洋在2013年，获得了 国际商务大奖 两项金奖。北京办事处为中国麦当劳，而推出应用程序，并在应用程序奖领域获奖，新加坡办事处在PR 奖领域获得交流关系活动奖项。(2014国际商务大奖招募参展作品。请下载参展产品纲领。)

我们向万博宣伟北京in-line战略副会长邓世民提问，公司与组织在亚洲-太平洋地区，为了更好地宣传产品、提供服务该怎么做。

与客户之间缔结关系
 

邓世民说：“亚洲太平洋整个地区，特别是在中国市场，社区化媒体与移动接触非常重要。品牌不能推迟移动战略，需要在事业开始时共同进行构想。不管是在专用应用程序投资，还是在微信、LINE或者微博等社区化媒体移动生成图标，移动装备品牌特化交流经验，需要对应至今不断活动、且变化的网络生活方式要求。”

邓世民还说：“现今，很多客户通过品牌、微信、whats应用程序等，期待进行1对1对话。作为品牌，与客户进行私人对话，对于他们来说，将成为更好的学习机会。”

为客户献身

万博宣伟应用程序领域史帝维奖获奖参展产品，“奥运会应用程序，与青春一起奔向金牌”是一个代理公司怎样通过社区化媒体，帮助接近客户即麦当劳青少年市场的完美例子。

邓世民跟我们说，史帝维奖是他们行业主要奖项之一。“我们因为获得这种奖项，而感到光荣、非常高兴。这是为我们客户特别付出贡献、整个团队的技术、也是我们工作的证据。”

他说，万博宣伟团队在制作麦当劳应用程序时，非常开心。“这个应用程序与中国奥运会粉丝缔结关系，帮助我们接近他们的热情。获得这项奖对于即将举行的团队活动，该制作哪种移动应用程序，该怎样制作真正吸引客户且具有差异的更多应用程序，增添超越界限的欲望。”

在北京闲逛

作为不断进行活动、且变化的网络生活方式人，邓世民说：“在北京打车很难。所以我喜欢使用微信综合支付系统和嘀嘀打车。”如果要在北京创业，这是一个很好的信息。

历史性变化

我们向邓世民提问，他对未来的构想。他说亚洲-太平洋地区具有无限的可能性。邓世民说：“人们认为中国没有革新”。“然而，犹如很多史帝维奖获奖人体现的一样，那是完全错误的。我们在历史性变化的时代生活。我们已经目睹了在亚洲太平洋地区主导巨大变化的场景。以后将有更多事例。”

对于邓世民
邓世民是北京in-line战略副会长。他从数码到传统宣传，在在线和离线两个世界里，为了监督并鼓舞客户与广告目标综合营销媒体战略，而提示战略性方向。在他的数码领域，10年期间经验包括快速移动消费资材、金融、零售、旅行、技术垂直领域、带薪搜索、社区化媒体、展示媒体购买、封面广告、生产创造性内容。目前，邓世民客户包括麦当劳、联合利华、微软、加州Walnut、oceanspray。

ウィーバー・シェンドウィックアジア太平洋は2013年国際ビジネス大賞で二つのスティービー金賞を受賞しています。北京事務所が中国マクドナルドのためのアプリ製作でアプリアワーズを、シンガポール事務所がコミュニティー関係キャンペーンでPRアワーズを獲得しました。（2014年国際ビジネス大賞参加者受付中です。エントリーキットをどうぞ。）

ウィーバー・シェンドウィック北京のインライン戦略副会長であるサイモン＝タンさんは、アジア太平洋地域での商品・サービス広報のために必要な戦略を語ってくれました。

顧客との関係を築く 

タンさんはこう切り出しました。「アジア太平洋全域、特に中国マーケットで、ソーシャルメディアとモバイルアクセスはとても重要なキーポイントです。会社としては、モバイル戦略を後回しにするより、事業の最初段階で一緒に構想しておくべきだと思います。専用アプリを開発するなり、WeChatやLine、Weiboなどのソーシャルメディアモバイルコンテンツを製作するなりです。モバイルデバイスでのブランド特化コミュニケーション経験によって、常に変化を遂げている「オンラインライフ」世代の要求を満たさねばなりません。

タンさんはこう続けました。「最近は沢山の顧客が、WeChatやWhatsAppなどを通して会社と１：１コミュニケーションしたいと考えます。会社側としても、顧客と他愛無い会話を重ねることで、彼らについてもっと学べる機会になるはずです」

顧客献身

ウィーバーシェンドウィックのアプリ分野スティービー賞受賞エントリー作である、「オリンピックアプリ・青春とともに金メダルを目指す」は、代行社がソーシャルメディアを用いてクライアントであるマクドナルドの青年市場アクセスを手助けした、完璧な事例と言えます。

タンさんは、スティービーアワーズは業界の主要なアワーズであると考えます。「受賞事実はとても誇らしく、嬉しく感じています。我々の顧客献身、チームの技術、そして成し遂げた成果を証明してくれたのですから」

ウィーバーシェンドウィックチームは、マクドナルドのアプリ製作がとても楽しかったと話しています。「このアプリは中国のオリンピックファンたちと良き関係を築き、彼らの情熱を身近に感じ取れるきっかけになりました。スティービーアワーズ受賞は、我々が今後のキャンペーンのためにどのようなモバイルアプリを作るべきなのか、またどうやって顧客を引き寄せ、違いを生み出す新しいアプリを作るべきかに対する限界を通り越すために、力強い応援になりました」

北京散策

絶え間なく変化を遂げ続ける「オンラインライフ」人口の一人として、タンさんは語りました。「北京ではタクシーを捕まえるのにいつも一苦労します。なので私は、WeChatの総合支払システムとともに、Dididache（嘀嘀打车）を好んで使います。」北京でのビジネスをお考え中なら、この情報は重宝するかもです。

歴史的な変化

タンさんの未来様相図もお聞きすることが出来ました。彼はアジア太平洋地域に無限の可能性があると言います。「或る人は、中国には革新がないと言いますが」とタンさんは切り出しました。「それは大間違いです。現に中国には沢山のスティービーアワーズ受賞者がいる。我々はもうすでに、アジア太平洋地域が様々な変化のリーダーとして活躍する場面を目撃しました。そしてこれからはもっと多くなります。」

サイモン＝タンは誰？
サイモン＝タンさんはウィーバー・シェンドウィック北京のインライン戦略副会長である。彼はデジタルから伝統的方式の広報チームに至るまで、オン・オフライン両方で顧客と広告ターゲットを魅入らせる統合マーケティングとメディア戦略を監督する戦略的方向を提示する。彼のデジタル分野での10年間の経験は、高速移動消費財・金融・小売・旅行・テクノロジーバーティカル分野を含み、有料サーチ・ソーシャルメディア・展示メディア購入・表面広告そしてクリエイティブコンテンツ生産まで網羅する。タンさんとは現在クライアントとしてマクドナルド、ユニレバー、マイクロソフト、カリフォルニアウォルナッツ、オーシャンスプレイなどがビジネスをしている。

ウィーバー・シェンドウィックより前、タンさんはMindshare NYでSAPのためのグローバルアカウントと、全てのユニレバーブランドの北米地域を監督するグローバルリサーチディレクターであった。ユニレバーのため、彼のチームはソーシャルメディア、コミュニティ運営、影響力のある顧客との関係作り、2010年最高のファンページを率いたフェイスブックをはじめとするユニレバー統合マーケティングプログラムを作って、実行した。タンさんはまた、ユニレバーの北米デジタル革新理事会でサーチングとデジタルメディア戦略のための全てのブランドの諮問委員として招待された。

サイモンはビーポンの年間アジアソーシャルメディア会議 (BeaPon’s Annual Asia Social Media 　Summit)、2012年北京政府情勢フォーラム（the Beijing Government Affairs Forum 2012)、SES中国、SESロンドン、OMSニューヨークを含む様々な国際コンファレンスで発表しており、ニューヨークジークリン経営学部の招待講師も勤めた。タンさんはテッドエックス北京のボランティアであり、コロンビア大学でMBAをとっている。

ウィーバー・シェンドウィックって何？
ウィーバー・シェンドウィック は８１カ国家にオフィスを構えたリーディンググローバル広告会社である。会社の企画・戦略・分析・製作・デザイナー・開発・広報チームなど様々なチームが彼らの革新的かつクリエイティブなアプローチと、影響力のある業務成果を評価され、世界で最も栄誉あるアワーズを受賞したと言える。会社はコンシューマーマーケティング、企業評判、健康管理、技術、公共政策、金融サービス、企業の社会的責任、財政コミュニケーション、リスクマネジメントなどの全フィールドで分野を跨ぐ自社開発ソーシャルデジタル分析法を効果的に活用している。ウィーバーシェンドウィックはインターパブリックグループ（NYSE:IPG）の子会社である。公式サイトはこちら。 http://www.webershandwick.com .
