It happen to be in both western New Year and Chinese New Year, they will give out blessing and wishes from different culture gods and lucky charms. And that make things complicated, as who should we pray for? The western god of fortune? Or the east money god?

So we gather the lucky symbols, gods and charm from both western and eastern and merge them together to create an unique EAST WEST world blessing couples.

We put the Aphrodite: Goddess of Love and Beauty with the Ancient beauty goddess Yang Guifei, to send out the double wishes of beauty. We ask the angels hold hands with Fuwa: Chinese fairy together give out blessing. Then baby Cupid team up with elderly Yue Lao, god of marriage and love. Spread the wishes of love and joy.The combination continues with many many pairs

These wishes are made into posters and post on everywhere around China.We didn’t stop there, we also bring these couples into the world of social media.Put them into packaging, integration campaign and other touch points.
