Ogilvy China names Chris Chen as consulting partner Details
Ogilvy China has appointed Chris Chen as consulting partner for Ogilvy Consulting.
Based in Shanghai, Chen will be responsible for expanding the agency s digital transformation and business innovation offerings to empower brands with
the digital technology and modern marketing tools they need in today’s disruptive economy, and bringing together Ogilvy’s digital technology and data capabilities to design and implement brand transformation strategies for clients.
He will report to Ogilvy Consulting China president Sandy Ng.
Chen most recently served as senior retail expert for Alibaba, where he was responsible for digital transformation consulting initiatives and the technical implementation of industry solutions globally. This role saw him help over 50 renowned brands integrate data, technology and innovative services to generate transformational commercial value and business growth.
In November, a court at last notified Zhou Xiaoxuan, known more commonly by her nickname, Xianzi, that it would try her case, a civil lawsuit filed in 2018 against television host Zhu Jun, who she alleges sexually harassed her. But when the trial finally opened, on December 2, Zhu was not there. She had asked the court to summon him; it had neglected to do so.
It had already taken more than two years for Xianzi’s case to come to court. In China, it usually takes six months, perhaps a year if the case is complex. When Xianzi asked the court earlier this year why proceedings had not started, she was told “the conditions are not right.” Suits like Xianzi’s are not often seen in China, where the harasser not the harassed is more likely to sue. Sexual harassment typically comes to court dressed as a claim for defamation compensation.
