Client Testimonial Dentsu-Aegis Network Tokyo Japan went well, all was very good. We very appreciated working with your team, really a very reliable and strong team, and appointed suppliers of A&K, very high quality. Jeffries LLC - Hong Kong Andrew was very impressed with A&K s schedule and logistics arrangements - everything went 100% smoothly from the car pick up in Hong Kong, to the local help on the ground in Nanning and the high quality of the meetings themselves.
