TIME

Dominique Turpin on How Businesses Can Keep Adding Value

TIME spoke with Turpin about his goals for CEIBS, the health of China’s economy, and the future of marketing.

Hofan is the ultimate marketing company. Because the purpose of marketing is to create, communicate, and deliver value to customers. And you do this by solving problems.
Now, this company goes on social media and reads all the comments by consumers. They take this feedback to some Chinese company and say, 'hey, you need to solve this problem.'They even have a venture capital firm to help the company fund the development and then they market these products. To me, this is your ultimate marketing machine.
