Globelink,
Linking you globally.
A Publication of CWT Globelink Group
The yearly CEO Summit is focused on various agendas, including keeping
the Globelink offices updated on the Group’s initiatives / projects, as well
as to brainstorm and align on the Group’s strategic direction.
This year’s Summit includes an interactive discussion session amongst the
delegates in different groups to identify how to leverage our network for
better success. Each group presented and shared their ideas on the
topics discussed, giving more insights into situations in different countries.
The Summit also provides the opportunity for offices to connect and share
market trends in their local context and to explore strategic opportunities.
The meetings, food and drinks are definitely a great platform for the
participants to strengthen their connections.
In the Pipeline: WeChat
With the increasing popularity of Mobile Commerce, it is inevitable that
companies are capitalizing on digital services to stay connected to their
customers. Likewise, for Globelink Group, we have already embarked on
our mobile commerce initiative some months ago.
WeChat is a powerful mobile communication
tool. The increasing popularity of WeChat in
China prompted our China offices to roll out
online services on the platform, which has
proven to be well received by the customers.
We will be adopting WeChat for the entire Globelink Group. The menu can
be in English and other languages. We will also be exploring additional
features on WeChat for an enhanced user experience.
