Asia
Origins
Red (红) is a powerful colour in Asian culture, which signifies the blood that flows in every person's veins, and represents our united humanity.
Circle (圈) connotes egalitarianism (the Western paradigm would be the Knights of the Round Table). Everyone has something to contribute, from their diverse points of view.
Network (网) implies interconnectedness, the strength of a wide network, and the beyond borders when we use the internet to cooperate.
It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a network to achieve value, doing business in Asia.
RCN Asia is founded by sole owner Glyn MacLean, with the support of a community of 250 + Asia Advisors, contractors and personnel worldwide.
Preparing organisations
and people to Engage Asia.
More than 50 million Chinese people live outside of Mainland China, which represents one of the largest export markets.
Regardless of the political mood, corporate, government, SME and NGO clients need support to form effective and sustainable strategies to engage Asian audiences. That's where RCN Asia helps, in the areas of media, marketing, business advisory, technology implementation and capability building.
Simply put, the mission of RCN Asia is to prepare organisations worldwide to engage Asia. We build organisational capability by offering training with all of our creative and technology services.
