In addition, for over 20 years, our E-ICP survey has enabled us to gain a deep understanding of consumers' lifestyles. I am convinced that this strategic alliance with Grey Group, leveraging on its network's advanced know-how and thinking, will widen our agency's vision and bring increased energy to the Taiwan market."

More importantly, it will enable us to deliver even more professional, effective and prompt service to our clients, as well as further growth for our employees. I firmly believe we will be Grey Group's best partner in Taiwan."
This strategic alliance represents the latest initiative in Grey Group's growth strategy, as the agency continues to expand its network, strengthen its presence and elevate its position across the Asia Pacific region.
