Today is the 169th birthday of Vincent Van Gogh. To celebrate his birthday, STW Innovation, a cultural tech company founded in Hong Kong, the first Asian shareholder of the Van Gogh Site Foundation (the previous name was Van Gogh Heritage Foundation), initiated a digital campaign called “Virtual visit to Van Gogh Homeland for a week with your appreciation” (艺赏世界 – 走访梵高故乡,了解艺术家背后的那些故事) and launch it today.

STW crossover with one of the biggest file transfer platforms, Cowtransfer (www.cowtransfer.com), with two million monthly active users to empower culture and art connection anytime, anywhere, leveraging technology. Everything starts with a coffee meetup between two companies, founders Emily Cheung & Chen Zhang, in the STW Shanghai office. 

“It was 30 mins catchup and brainstorming, and we decided to do it, and here we are. I am so thankful to have Mr. Chen Zhang’s (also a millennials entrepreneur) appreciation of what STW is doing and join us together to empower this virtual experience online. It was innovative, and thank you, my team, for all the hard work! When we hear users’ feedback, it is all worthy.”

STW launched the campaign with all our social media platforms and generated media impact to share the content and drive people to visit the site. Our mission is to connect art and culture anytime, anywhere, leveraging technology as a cultural tech company.

Although our China team is suffering from the COVID situation and the city is paused for a week, it never can stop our curiosity from exploring how to realize our mission and make things happen. We are looking forward to coming back to Van Gogh’s homeland, creating a fantastic campaign together with locals, and letting more people know the beauty of these hidden gems in the Netherlands!

Unlock New China during the COVID era

Entering the Chinese market takes time and extensive research as well as a deep understanding of consumer insights, trends, and local behaviors. Engaging in all these activities may be expensive and impossible for small to medium-sized businesses around the world. With the added constraints of COVID-19, finding an efficient and cost-effective solution is vital to unlocking the potential of the Chinese market. However, finding partners that can digest both the international and local Chinese perspectives can be hard and risky. 

Under the goal of connecting global cultures to the Chinese youth, Shake to Win has been facilitating China market access for SMEs, cultural organizations, as well as public institutions from all over the world, building commercial and emotional bridges between distinct nations and helping Chinese consumers to reach the most unique places, products, and people. We offer an extensive range of services including localization, social media, online marketing, offline campaigns, e-commerce, and more, leaving you to focus on your business without the need to learn Chinese from your local destination.
