Twenty years ago, VOK DAMS began its journey in China – a bold step into a new market that today inspires clients throughout Asia with creative live marketing and creates impressive WOW moments. The 20th anniversary was a special occasion, this time for a very special event. Colleagues from all over the world came to Shanghai to celebrate with the teams on site, local partners and clients, to look back on two decades of success and collaboration – and to brainstorm creative approaches for the future.

A CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY AND CREATIVE COLLABORATION

The anniversary celebrations began in Shanghai with a traditional Sichuan dinner. The following day was all about international, intercultural exchange and team-building activities with a great fun factor, which brought the local teams and international colleagues together in friendly competitions. From TikTok dance challenges to artistic sculpture design and commercial production, the teams demonstrated their innovative strength and team spirit – qualities that characterize VOK DAMS as an owner-managed family business and have become the basis of our success in China.

In the evening, the office in Shanghai was transformed into a lively event location. With music, dancing and memories, colleagues and partners looked back on the past 20 years together. Here, too, the tireless energy and passion for detail could be felt everywhere. The high standards of quality, creativity and commitment are not only evident in the various events that the team has produced for different clients in recent years, but also ran like a common thread through the entire anniversary event.

CULTURAL EXCHANGE AND INNOVATION AS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

The anniversary was not only an occasion to celebrate, but also an opportunity to recognize the importance of meetings and innovative concepts for VOK DAMS in Asia. Our Managing Director Asia-Pacific, Dominik Soemantri, emphasizes: “Clients in China not only demand innovative event formats from us, but also a feel for local and international expectations. Our ability to bridge cultural differences while delivering inspiring, measurable results makes us a valued partner for many global brands. In a country that is considered a pioneer of digitalization, VOK DAMS creates unique experiences with direct and emotional live communication that have a lasting impact – far beyond digital contact.”

Since its launch, our team in China has impressively demonstrated how effectively live communication can build bridges between different worlds and strengthen brand loyalty on an emotional level. VOK DAMS China connects brands with people and creates a genuine, authentic closeness through direct experiences. The constant willingness to develop innovative ideas and at the same time adapt them to local conditions has contributed significantly to VOK DAMS China being a respected partner for high-quality events in China.

A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE: SUSTAINABLE EVENTS THAT UNITE PEOPLE & BRANDS

In the coming years, we will remain true to our claim of designing events that focus on real encounters. Especially in a dynamic market like China, we continue to focus on sustainable and innovative formats that enable us to meet the ever-changing requirements. Our aim is to create unforgettable experiences that connect brands and people in a way that lasts.
