Growing during a downturn in 2009
Date: 2009-12-06
As the financial crisis swept the world in 2009, following innovative and efficient design processes became more important than ever. As such, CBi's expertise were in great demand, leading us to expand our business and achieve impressive results.
The year brought us many exciting opportunities to not only exercise our creativity, but also bring meaningful changes to the lives of consumers. One such project was the research and design of a cell phone specifically aimed at fulfilling the needs of visually impaired users. We also took time to consider the long-term impact that technology has on the environment, and how these concerns can be incorporated into viable marketing plans, in our eco-design research project.
Despite the financial climate, there was much to celebrate about China's burgeoning design scene. We delved into the lives of China's design practitioners in our "A Snapshot of China's Design Industry" report, which has proved invaluable to everyone with an interest in the current state and future development of China's design industry.
There were many achievements this year too, both for CBi and the entire industry. We won the 2009 China Red Star Design Award, and in turn recognized some of the year's most innovative projects by organizing the 2009 China's Most Successful Design Awards.
After the thrilling developments of 2009, we can't wait to see what 2010 has in store, and look forward to continuing to lead by example and promote better design practices across the industry. We wholeheartedly wish all our clients and friends a happy and prosperous 2010.
