At WiedenKennedy Shanghai, we celebrate a lot of things. We celebrate
our people, the culture that they come from, and creativity in China.
With so many different nationalities, we celebrate Western and
Eastern festivals, like Chinese New Year, Halloween, Women’s Day,
Christmas because we value all holidays equally.
We celebrate our people like a family. We celebrate when team
members join us, leave us, win something, marry someone, have a baby
or create some exciting work.
We celebrate the days that remind us of the spirit and ethics of
WiedenKennedy, like Founders’ 'ay, Summer Fridays. In 201, we
established an online media platform, called WK/Y to celebrate all things
related to creativity in China. We celebrate, work hard, and have fun
together and that bonds us together.G.R.O.W

a global training program called
“Dan’s House” for staff to work

WK legacy but with strong roots in the local culture and community.

community. WK Shanghai offi ce have been working with Community

Southwest China. In the past, we have hosted an auction to raise funds
for kids, we have donated over 200 full bags to One Heart Program,

creativity in China and introduce Chinese creativity to the rest of the world
to inspire more people.

people together.
And we look forward to doing more with our people to make this place for
everyone to come and create the best work of their lives.HI WE ARE WIEDEN+KENNEDY SHANGHAI!
