4 Minutes Read

MADJOR, a Shanghai-based brand experience consultancy under the Labbrand Group, stands out in the realm of Chinese brand strategy agencies. Unlike traditional agencies that focus solely on marketing or sales, MADJOR emphasizes building authentic connections through experiences that foster long-term relationships and differentiation. ​

Integrating Multidisciplinary Expertise

MADJOR integrates capabilities across four key areas:​

  • Experience Strategy & Management: Crafting brand universes that consistently connect with customers.​
  • Brand Communication: Developing branding concepts and creative campaigns that protect brand essence and amplify impact across all communication channels.​
  • Digital, Spatial & UX Design: Designing intuitive experiences and creative interactions for all brand touchpoints, including customer journeys, space design, IP collaborations, and digital assets.​
  • Innovation: Building long-term brand success through innovative solutions for products, services, and business models. ​

MADJOR's Role in Digital Brand Transformation

From Department to Dedicated Agency

Originally a department within Labbrand focused on digital innovations, MADJOR evolved into a dedicated digital agency in 2016. This transition marked a commitment to bringing forward transformative offerings grounded in branding. ​

Brand-Led Digital Initiatives

MADJOR's approach to digital transformation is brand-led, ensuring that digital initiatives are a continuation of a brand’s products, experience, communication, culture, and organization. This holistic view enables brands to build authentic connections with their target audiences, tapping into their deepest emotions and forging enduring relationships. ​

Case Studies: MADJOR's Impact on Global Brands

Harley-Davidson: Powering Up the Digital Engine

MADJOR became Harley-Davidson’s lead digital communication agency in China, delivering robust digital solutions to enhance the brand’s social media performance. By building a strong brand-led social communication strategy, MADJOR reaffirmed Harley-Davidson as the most desirable motorcycle brand in the world. ​

Petit Bateau: Crafting a Unique Voice with Relevance

For French fashion house Petit Bateau, MADJOR developed a localized brand strategy for the Chinese market. This involved adapting the brand platform and messaging, alongside a comprehensive communication plan across various touchpoints. The result was a brand that remained distinctively Petit Bateau but with an approachable, Chinese flair. ​

Deepal Auto: Elevating Brand Experience for EVs

MADJOR collaborated with Changan Automobile to create a distinctive brand experience strategy for Deepal, Changan’s latest electric vehicle brand targeting the younger Chinese generation. This included formulating Deepal's brand experience brochure, optimizing the visual identity system, and developing a sonic brand identity that synthesizes Deepal’s brand DNA of “Exploration, Life, Technology, and Future”. ​

Expanding Beyond Shanghai

While rooted in Shanghai, MADJOR has expanded its global footprint with offices in Singapore, New York, and Paris. This international presence allows MADJOR to bring a multi-dimensional perspective on brand experience to clients around the world. ​
