Sydney office a key node in WPIC’s growing global footprint

“We are delighted that WPIC has chosen Sydney as its Australian base,” said Anoulack Chanthivong, NSW Minister for Industry and Trade.
“The NSW Government is committed to attracting global businesses like WPIC to set up in our state and create more jobs locally. Sydney’s proximity in the Indo-Pacific coupled with our sophisticated financial and professional services industries makes Sydney a natural destination for firms like WPIC.
“This is another great example of how the NSW Government is working on the ground and globally to attract world class companies and innovators to our state, creating more jobs and supporting our growing economy.”
“The Australia China Business Council (ACBC) welcomes the arrival of WPIC to Sydney and the Australian market,” said Tom Parker, CEO, ACBC.
“It was important for ACBC to play a small role in bringing one of the region’s leading digital marketing and service providers to assist our members and the broader Australia business community better understand and access the China market.”
WPIC client list and body of work is impressive and ensures that Australian businesses can leverage their experience to enter or enhance their market share in China’s constantly evolving digital marketplaces,” he said.
