Charles will also continue to pursue independent projects under the banner of Charles McGhee Media Consultancy Ltd. and Liam McLaughin MagicTrade visit to Shanghai and Beijing
China was on the travel agenda again in March with a visit to Shanghai - China's biggest city pop. 20 million - and Beijing. Charles was part of an SCDI (Scottish Council for Development and Industry) trade delegation of 25 Scottish companies who were building business links with China.
The group included a mix of educational, manufacturing, financial services, tourism, IT, design and communications companies. Some were already doing business with China and wanted to cement their relationships; others were there for the first time researching the market and identifying opportunities. None left disappointed.
Charles was researching the communications challenges facing Scottish and UK companies trying to enter the Chinese market, with a view to offering them a range of specialist public relations, communications, marketing and business development services and support.
Daily newspaper launched
The consultancy was commissioned by Nigeria's new national newspaper – the Peoples Daily (no apostrophe!) – to relaunch the title as a daily publication in November 2009. Since its launch a year earlier, the Peoples Daily had been published weekly, but we assisted the editorial team to redesign the newspaper and successfully switched the title to daily publication within a tight timescale of less than one month. The paper now publishes Monday to Friday and will eventually move to seven-day publication.Read more about the relaunch.
