Дэн Mintz было рождено и поднято в Brooklyn, и было молодым человеком, котор нужно принять в академию нью-йорка выполнять искусствоа. Он начал в деле киноего как экстраий студента в Fame киноего. Он пошел к Лос-Анджелес где он продвинул его образование и опыт в продукции пленки и создал хорошие соединения с некоторыми из главных студий киноего.

В начале 90-ых годов, он пошел к Китаю установить вверх совместное краткосрочное предприятие для главной студии киноего. Это было shortly after fiasco Tiananmen квадратное и климат для партнерств с американскими фирмами был холодн, if not, котор замер, определенно с министерством культуры, которое быть involved.

Он наблюдал что глобальные рекламные бюро 4A делая кампании для США. многонациональн послали продукцию пленки для рекламных вставок во время телепередач к Hong Kong, Taiwan и Singapore потому что качество работы в китайских домах продукции было sub-standard. Снимите продукцию, как много дел, consist of оборудование (оборудование) и средство программирования (искусства для использования оборудования). Дэн увидело возможность. Он был средством программирования - и легко нанять от его контактов сети LA - и он смог получить оборудование. В марте 1993, он начал изображения Pacesetter международные (PPI) на его таблице столовой квартиры в Beijing.

Thirteen years later — with 450 people in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Los Angeles, and New York — PPI had become DMG, an international, independent full-service advertising and communications agency specializing in the greater China region generating more than $100 million US a year.

The big boys — Microsoft, McDonald’s, Boeing, GM, and Dell — were all there. They had deep pockets, global operations, pricey lawyers, accounting firms, and consulting firms behind them.

He developed DMG into China’s hottest creative, independent agency. He then added an events and public relations firm, ICN, and nailed international global accounts along with a portfolio of high-profile Chinese companies wanting to keep pace with the advertising expertise of their American competitors.

He’s a charismatic, creative genius in tune with the Chinese culture. He has never worked for a Western agency, didn’t attend college, but with street smarts, talent, an uncanny ability to handle diverse personalities and cultures, earned the respect of the domestic and international advertising world.

How did he beat the global 4A agencies to capture the creative account for Volkswagen-Germany’s first Chinese brand campaign in addition to a four-year Olympic marketing assignment for VW, a national sponsor of the 2008 Games in Beijing?

He did it the Chinese Way.

The others, the global hotshot 4A agencies, do business in China the way they do successful business in other countries. They are successful all over the world, but not in China.

Let’s break that down.

Mintz began with two Chinese partners. DMG chairman Peter Xiao had a deep and wide financial background and connections, tons of guanxi at high levels of the central government and the banking system.

Wu Bing, VP of DMG, has drive, determination and the operational savvy to get things done quickly in a society of bureaucracy and censorship. She was born in Beijing and at an early age was selected by the government to be trained as a gymnast for international competitions. When she was six, she was sent away to training facilities for grueling national competitive training, and eventually became a coach for international team competition.

While in Hong Kong, she met martial arts and action movie star Jackie Chan and appeared in movies with him. Dan was doing film production scouting in Hong Kong and met Jackie and Wu Bing.
 
Using the guanxi of Peter and Wu Bing, DMG targeted First Automotive Works (FAW) as the company they wanted to do business with. They made many trips to Changchun, delivering gifts liberally and personally, hosting banquets, developing deep friendships and cultivating relationships with the many Chinese managers, many of who ascended to high positions of authority and decision-making power over the years.

The three partners were unyielding in their demands on their staff to provide the highest levels of customer service and to exceed customer expectations. Their demands and expectations caused high turnover, but resulted in corporate relationships that were cemented to last. The true Chinese business objective — mutual benefit, win-win, and long-term relationships — was met with dedicated, committed staff.
