ABOUT



THE BRIDGE: ASIA-AUSTRALIA

Australia has a deep commercial relation with its Asiatic partners. Sussex is uniquely positioned to help companies on both sides of the equation.



Asian companies entering the Australian market:

We understand how to make brands enter, establish and grow market share in Australia, having a rich history of over 25 years building brands by creating potent strategies, and facilitating all marketing needs.



Australian Entities entering the Asian market:

The culture, media offerings and environment of China and other Asian countries are starkly different to those found in Australia. Sussex has a unique DNA and consumer insight that allows us to guide western brands through the cultural and regional minefields to attain success.



Sussex has a strong DNA that serves it well in both markets.

Founder Diana Dong grew up in China and worked there in marketing before founding Sussex in Australia. Many of our core management team and our greater workforce have held senior positions not only in Australia, but also in China, India, UAE, Malaysia and Thailand. This, along with an Aus-Asia network of social and influencer partners gives us the ability to quickly find the culturally right strategy for your brand.

OUR STORY

In the spring of 1989, a young Diana landed at Sydney airport from Beijing, with no friends, no relatives, no connections of any kind in Australia. Just a year later she made what many considered a bold move – started an agency called Sussex News Advertising (later called Sussex Media). It was not an easy journey as she had more than her fair share of challenges. Being a petite woman with cultural and language barriers in the cut-throat media and advertising industry – she, and the team she built had to work 10 times harder, faster and better than others to survive and grow. Sussex slowly built up a reputation for credibility, and integrity and very importantly must deliver mentality. Over the next 25 years Diana brought together a team of professionals that supported her mantra of credibility and passion.

SUSSEX AUSTRALASIA TODAY

Today Sussex Australasia still follows that ideal of hard work, care and a passion for clients that was its original formula for success. In its 25 years, Sussex has worked with a strong complement of Australian and Asian companies. With our ever growing level of international expertise and IP, we have created two foci:


Australia: focused on building brands in the local market.

  • Combining potent strategy, media, creative and production capabilities to grow brands.

Asia: focused on creating a communication bridge with Asia.

  • Connecting Australian companies with the right tools and strategy to gain brand equity in the Asian market.
  • Connecting Asian companies with the right tools and strategy to gain equity in the Australian market.
