English, Economics and Politics
Tell us a little about yourself.
When the Spanish Barcelona soccer club players walked off the stage without traditional posing with the Audi A4 S-lines cars, they also did not react to my questions in English. Well, they also couldn't speak a word in Chinese!
Any way, the whole event was a success for Volkswagen, which was eager to increase its market share in China. All this happened during my internship in Ogilvy Public Relations Beijing Office, where I was a key group member in organizing the “Audi Barca 2007 China Tour” Program.
