At our VOK DAMS headquarters in Wuppertal, a Chinese gong resounds – a symbol of the combination of tradition and innovation. Find out more about the people behind it, our team and the passion that characterizes their work.

A GONG'S JOURNEY: ECHOES FROM WUPPERTAL TO BEIJING

Anyone entering the VOK DAMS headquarters in the beautiful Briller Viertel in Wuppertal will encounter a Chinese gong that cannot be overlooked and characterizes the entrance area. This symbol is more than just a decorative accent – it stands for our history and successes. Every time a pitch is won, the gong rings out as a sign of the passion and success that has characterized VOK DAMS for many years.

The gong also symbolically connects the teams in Germany with their colleagues in China. Since the opening of our first office in Beijing in 2004, the Chinese team has established itself as an important part of our global identity. With their local know-how and creative ideas, they contribute significantly to our success and enrich our work with fresh perspectives.

BUILDING A DYNAMIC TEAM IN CHINA

The founding of VOK DAMS China was more than just an expansion – it was a step into an emerging market that offered the potential for live communication. Since the opening of our first office in Beijing, VOK DAMS China has successfully established itself. This was followed by the opening of another office in Shanghai in 2009, and in 2019 we added a location in Hong Kong to further expand our presence in the region. Today, almost two decades after our first office in Asia, our China team comprises 60 talented experts whose diversity and expertise create unique wow experiences almost everywhere in Asia.

The VOK DAMS China team is characterized by a shared passion for creativity and the highest quality standards. Over the years, VOK DAMS China has established itself as an employer that attracts local and international creative talent and provides an environment that encourages innovation and personal development. The result is numerous successful events that not only inspire our clients, but have also earned 51 prestigious awards for outstanding quality & creativity.

VOK DAMS CHINA: THE HUB FOR LIVE MARKETING IN ASIA

Over the past twenty years, VOK DAMS China has established itself as an important location for versatile live marketing projects throughout Asia. Whether for exclusive driving trainings in Inner Mongolia at -40 degrees or for gala events, product launches, employee or customer events and trade fair appearances in China's lively metropolises – the team in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong attaches great importance to well thought-out planning and is used to adapting flexibly to the most diverse local conditions at any time.

The Chinese location also offers an ideal platform for creative exchange and innovative concepts that respond to the different requirements of regional and global customers. The experience and successes we have gained in China have also inspired us to expand our presence worldwide – for example, we can also develop individual solutions directly on site in the USA, Spain and the Middle East.

THREE PILLARS OF SUCCESS: CREATIVITY, STRATEGY AND QUALITY

1 The Creative Mindset: Crafting Memorable Experiences

The members of our China team are trendsetters, design enthusiasts and communication entrepreneurs. With a deep understanding of the market, they develop concepts that are tailored to the specific cultural expectations of the target groups. Through the use of immersive technologies and a creative approach, they create unforgettable experiences that make brands visible and actively involve the audience.

2 The Strategic Foundation: Backbone of Our Success

Behind every successful event is a well thought-out strategy. Our team in China bases its decisions on detailed analysis of market trends, social media and the competitive landscape. This data-driven strategy has led to the development of new event formats such as hybrid events and agile event management, giving us an edge in a highly competitive market.

3 A Culture of Quality: Embracing Excellence in Every Detail

Quality is the trademark of VOK DAMS, and our China team consistently realises this claim. From planning to realisation, we pay attention to the highest standards in order to always offer our clients the best. Our commitment does not end after the event: with comprehensive analyses, photo and video documentation and detailed cost control, we ensure that the success of every event has a lasting effect.

A FUTURE OF CULTURAL CONNECTIONS AND CREATIVE VISIONS

VOK DAMS China looks to the future with a clear vision: we want to connect brands and people in a meaningful way through creative concepts and the development of sustainable event formats. Our goal is to create experiences that not only work in the moment, but also build long-term relationships.

From our roots in Wuppertal, we have built a dynamic team in China that combines local expertise with a global perspective. This allows us to create events that bridge cultural differences and enable a deeper connection with brands.

Together, we are shaping the future of live marketing and creating new impulses that not only have a positive impact on the industry, but also on society. VOK DAMS China stands for creativity, innovation and commitment – principles that we want to consistently implement in the ever-changing world of live marketing.
