    Marketing Communications

    Access provides publicity support to enhance client’s marketing of products and services in the rapidly changing Korean consumer market. Too often advertising and marketing efforts in Korea are concentrated on predetermined methods developed overseas that result in an uninspired message to the Korean consumer.

    Our specialists help publicize and promote the specific product, service and program of clients by creating integrated, creative, localized communications strategy tailored to the target market. Our teams have a solid understanding of the target market and have strong and credible relationships with the media, consumer groups, regulatory bodies and other government institutions. Our approach is to develop an all-inclusive, result-oriented marketing communications strategy in which we consider the full range of opportunities, as well as the potential problems that a company can face at the consumer level.
