Brunswick Group is set to open its third China office on Nov. 1, a Shanghai outpost headed by former Morgan Stanley Asia corporate communications co-head Po Ling Cheung.
The firm, which has 50 staffers in Beijing and Hong Kong, is also dispatching 11-year New York partner Cindy Leggett-Flynn to Hong Kong in a managing partner post covering its Asia operations.
Internet search giant Baidu, China Sunergy and ‘Net services company Bitauto are among Brunswick’s clients in the People’s Republic.
Chairman Alan Parker said Brunswick is “making progress internationally” and noted China has been “particularly strong” for the firm again in 2011.
Shanghai is Brunswick’s 19th office.
