Responding to demand from China

With Maine Tower, a new portfolio of property soon to be for sale at London’s Canary Wharf, Galliard expected significant interest from Chinese investors and property buyers from across Asia. With some flats on the market for as much as £1.25 million, the sale of the flats in Maine Tower was to be a significant milestone for the developer. It was imperative that they were able to attract the buyers they needed.

Guildhawk provided localisation for a company brochure and supplementary suite of marketing materials, all translated into Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Our expertise

To make sure Galliard were perfectly positioned to answer the demand, Guildhawk provided localisation for a company brochure and supplementary suite of marketing materials, all translated into Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Punchy, informative and communicating the sense of grandeur and luxury, the materials were delivered in just under one week.

After the successful launch of the sale, Galliard shared insights with Guildhawk that showed an increase in demand from property buyers in China and across Asia – proof that the materials we translated were effective tools in marketing to these audiences. They continue to serve as a shop window for Chinese buyers and investors.
