ABOUT IDE
Connecting strategy, creative, and execution
through China market experience
IDE (Shanghai Yide Culture Communication Co., Ltd.) was founded in 2006, starting in graphic design and photography and gradually expanding into brand communications, integrated marketing, social media, and content production.
We provide brands with China market research and communications strategy, creative content production, creator partnerships, and project execution.
Our work takes the form of clearly scoped one-off projects as well as ongoing brand communications and professional content services. We combine the relevant capabilities for each engagement and coordinate everything from planning through delivery.

02 / EXPERIENCE × AI
Bringing new tools into real work
IDE applies AI to organizing market information, shaping strategy and content ideas, and stages of copywriting, visual, and video production, and continues to explore its use in project management.
We combine these tools with brand understanding, creative judgment, and hands-on project experience, so new tools serve the actual needs of the work.
AI is a tool that supports our work. Brand voice, content accuracy, and final delivery still require judgment and review against the specifics of each project.
