Driving Global Influence: PR Strategies for Iconic Brands
Do you want to grow? Are you a business looking to enter overseas markets?
Experience the power of strategic PR that bridges cultures and captivates audiences worldwide. Mandy Queen PR blends local insights with global reach to create compelling brand narratives and campaigns that drive tangible results across diverse markets. International marketing is more than just selling abroad; it’s about creating meaningful connections with global audiences. From understanding cultural nuances to navigating diverse consumer behaviours, marketing is essential in bridging the gap between your brand and the world.
I am a seasoned PR professional with a rich history of serving 100 prestigious clients in Hong Kong, including the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board, BASF, British Council in Hong Kong, Emarsys, foodpanda, Forum of Incident Response & Security Teams, Informa, Lindt & Sprungli, Link by Net, and the Economist Events.
With a wealth of experience dating back to my time in the UK, where I held key positions in marketing communications at Scottish and Newcastle and served as the Head of Communications for the Sea Fish Industry Authority, I am well-equipped to assist UK organisations looking to establish or enhance their presence in Hong Kong.
I offer comprehensive services tailored to support UK businesses already operating in Hong Kong or considering expansion. My services include expert guidance on PR and marketing strategies, training for local teams, and the establishment of realistic KPIs for local PR agencies and leadership if required. Additionally, I can provide PR Director services to any UK company and offer guidance on maximising participation in international trade shows, drawing on my experience with 40 trade shows and conferences across Asia Pacific.
From PR and marketing plans to trade show optimisation and product and service launches to digital marketing, I have a proven track record in driving business growth in Hong Kong, the gateway to mainland China and Southeast Asia. Access best practices, mitigate risk, and save time and costs from the start. Your international expansion journey begins here.

Years of Experience
Export marketing is crucial to ensure sustained brand visibility and engagement in foreign markets, facilitating long-term success beyond the initial entry. Securing distribution is only the beginning of market penetration. Ongoing PR and marketing efforts including trade show optimisation are essential for brand reinforcement, market growth and, ultimately, profits. I take the risk out of exporting.
Export Marketing
I excel in localising and communicating your brand in Hong Kong. Drawing on our tangible experience from 18 years in Asia and 25 years in total, we analyse the target market, identify goals, and refine messages and positioning to produce the best international marketing strategies for your brand and the market. This strategic approach ensures maximum brand awareness and financial success.
Strategic Recommendation
I specialise in crafting bespoke international PR and marketing plans that resonate with the Hong Kong market while preserving your brand's reputation and identity. With a wealth of experience serving over 100 clients and 40 trade shows in the region, my expertise ensures success. I can also help you set goals for and manage your overseas communications team based on tangible experience. Or sign up for my training course.
