HKTDC Receives Two Awards
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) announced that it was honored with two awards from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) at an Oct. 2 ceremony during the IEDC Annual Conference in Atlanta.
The honors consisted of the Gold Excellence in Economic Development Award in the category of Special Events and the Silver Excellence in Economic Development Award in the Paid Advertising category. HKTDC’s Fashion Hong Kong campaign, which aims to promote Hong Kong designers in the global fashion arena, was the subject of both awards. The campaign was created for New York Fashion Week 2018.
“We are honored to receive these two awards from the IEDC,” said Anthony Mak (pictured), HKTDC director, New York, in a press release. “Fashion Hong Kong at New York Fashion Week is an extensive marketing program that includes runway shows, business meetings, market visits, media interviews, and postshow receptions. The project brings economic benefits to both the United States and Hong Kong by creating jobs and fostering business development in the fashion and creative industries. The Fashion Hong Kong campaign tactically promotes brand awareness for the event through selected media channels and social media platforms in the U.S. market. Over time, this strategy has built a consistent image of Hong Kong as a trendsetting hub for fashion.”
