In the past few years, we have worked with Strategic
Focus on several projects mainly because we are
very satisfied with their service. Mr. David Hui
is a very experienced moderator. As a Singaporean
living in Hong Kong and conducting research in
several Chinese cities, David is very conversant
in Chinese languages and is a great help to us
when conducting focus group research across several
cities in China. Due to his constant observations
of the market place and his familiarity with FMCG
products, he saves us a lot of time and effort
in explaining the research brief and for him to
design the questionnaire/ discussion guide. His
vast knowledge of the market place enables him
to provide a lot of good recommendations and thus
have helped us to develop strategic marketing
plans. In addition, the working attitudes of his
colleagues are very serious, responsible and have
definitely contributed to the success of the research
projects.

Strategic Focus: I can not say anything more
positive about David Hui and Strategic Focus than
"I would use them again!" The results, professionalism,
translation, quick understanding of clients business
are all top shelf. Their understanding of markets,
business needs and facilities for focus groups
is why I would use them for discovering unique
Asian business opportunities.

We gave David mission impossible last October
with a research project in Guangzhou and Shanghai
with an incredibly tight turn around time. Strategic
Focus performed excellently and provided clearly
mapped out results with insightful conclusions.
Our Clients in Hong Kong and Paris were very impressed
with the findings and the professional way that
David handled this project in a market as difficult
as China. We would definitely use him again for
any such projects. Great job Strategic Focus!

When I first encountered Strategic Focus four
years ago, it was a recommendation by my friends
in the Advertising field. I still remember the
comments were "very professional", "good interpretation"
and "great input" 仨tc. Since then I have been
using them for many of my research projects. I
personally admired David掇 professional attitude
and his integrity on his jobs. He is not only
a good business partner but also a very loyal
one. Now we have gradually developed a more personal
relationship. I believe I rely and trust his professional
advice more.

I started to use services of Strategic Focus
two years ago, when I was Executive Director of
DDB Greater China. They have handled research
projects for my clients in fast moving consumer
goods as well as the new economy sectors, in both
Hong Kong and Mainland China. Through their planning
and implementation work for my clients, I have
witnessed a high level of professionalism, marketing
insight, technical proficiency and responsible
attitude in qualitative research delivered by
Strategic Focus. They are of an exemplary standard
among the research firms I have worked with before.

I've known and worked with David and his team
at Strategic Focus for over 5 years. They have
demonstrated themselves to be meticulous, well
organized, and very professional in what they
do, especially in the qualitative area. Their
positive attitude and enthusiasm towards every
project they work on are also rare in today's
market place. Moreover it is their insightful
analysis of the research findings that make them
stand out against their competition. What more
can you ask from a bunch of people like this.......

I'd like to express my gratitude for all your hard work once again. Please also help me to thank Ah Fong and Tiffany for their hard work on recruitment and hospitality. All of you are so professional and delivered services beyond our expectations (even our dinner take away order!). We feel very comfortable working with you all and appreciate your devotion to our project. You did deliver first-rate research findings to us which I haven't seen for ages. I always believe passion is the key to success. Thank you! You proved it's right. And I'm very happy to see how powerful a good research can be.
I'd love to work with you again in the future. Though our budget is small and there are not many projects, Strategic Focus will definitely be my preferred research partner.
Keep up your good work.

"I work for a large market research company in the United States, and we commissioned Strategic Focus to conduct several focus groups and web clinic sessions in Singapore and Hong Kong. There were many important details associated with the project, and I was nervous whether everything would go smoothly, especially because my clients were in attendance at the sessions in Singapore and Hong Kong along with me
The first day I arrived at the sessions and met the team from Strategic Focus, I was very pleased to see everything was ready to go, and all the important details were handled perfectly.
All the focus groups and web clinic sessions went very well, and the moderating by David Hui was outstanding. Also, in Hong Kong we were provided with a translator to sit in the client room with us and conduct simultaneous translation in English; the translator was fantastic.
I was very happy with the service provided by Strategic Focus, and so were my clients! In the end, I wished we were working with the Strategic Focus team for all 4 markets we were visiting in Asia, instead of just 2 of the markets."

数年前から一緒に仕事をしていますが David および Strategic Focus のリサーチによってわれわれは台湾、香港、上海の消費者についてとても有益な理解を常に得ることが出来ています。 David の司会はとても洗練されており彼より上手な司会を自分の国でも見たことがありません。 また、David以外にもスタッフも含めて 的確なレポーティングや親切かつスピーディな対応が我々を再び Strategic Focus に仕事を依頼させます。
(We have been working with Strategic Focus for years. With the research projects conducted by David and Strategic Focus, we have obtained a lot of useful understanding about consumers in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shanghai. We are always impressed with the polished moderating skills of David – we haven’t come across any moderator that can be compared with him even in Japan. Besides, other staffs at Strategic Focus also help us a lot with their precise reporting and friendly, speedy responses. We will be happy to continue working together with Strategic Focus.)

A belated thank you for your assistance with the Consumer Electronics focus group project we did with Strategic Focus in March of this year. Our client was very pleased with the quality of the respondents and the information they provided. Your ability to recruit English-speaking residents was a big plus in the eyes of our client. She was readily able to hear the voice of the Hong Kong market; without the need for a translator. Very impressive. I know that in the future when we need to conduct group session in Hong Kong and in The People’s Republic of China; we will come back to you and Strategic Focus. Your professionalism, along with that of the entire staff and recruiters made a very positive impression. Thank you again for your assistance.

We wanted to congratulate you for the excellent work, support and professionalism shown during the A.Lange & Söhne project. We had the final presentation yesterday in Germany, and the company CEO, his team and the Richmont staff were all very impressed with the level of fine/ deep understanding we managed to get of this "difficult" population. They particularly appreciated the amount of work you put into this when they saw the extracts from the interviews...it was extremely interesting for them to "meet" their clients and potential clients, and also it provided a way for the client to realize the amount of work needed to analyze such findings in an interesting and meaningful way!! Thank you very much again for all the provided work, it was a real pleasure for all of us to work with you. We feel we have all learnt something out of this truly interesting project, and we hope you feel the same way. We are looking forward of working again together in the near future. Very best regards!

Having worked with many firms in the US but not many in Asia, I was beyond impressed with David’s (Strategic Focus’) ability to ‘plug and play’ on a global research program with such ease and professionalism. He elevated our ability to quickly penetrate the mind of the Hong Kong consumer while giving us insight into subtleties that we would not have otherwise been able to collect. David truly was more than a liaison, he plugged into our research team and helped paint the portrait of the target consumer's value system.
Furthermore, David's rigor with recruiting was evident in our sample. He knows how to get who you're looking for and won't settle for less.
It won't be long before we're in Hong Kong again doing innovation research and I know who I'm calling. In fact, knowing that David can facilitate research initiatives not only in Hong Kong, but Shanghai and Singapore means our reach is that much wider. Chris Homer
