Sam Yang, Labbrand’s VP and executive creative director, explores the world of brand design in Shanghai. He discusses how branding has evolved in China over the past 10 years and where Labbrand fits into the city’s design scene. How does Labbrand’s Shanghai office approach brand design projects? In Shanghai, it’s difficult to treat design as a final layer. For me, design is more like a multiplier, it makes a brand’s strategy, ambition and cultural intent tangible.
