Is your company thinking about expanding the business to China? Companies moving to new markets have a first challenge – choosing a name. When taking the market to China, this challenge becomes even bigger. Chinese have thousands of characters, and each might have multiple meanings and pronunciations across regions. Let me help you with your brand name localization – a Chinese name that has both phonetic and semantic associations with the original brand name.
Make your brand stand out with an originally cultured and authentic name
GeeEdge is a Chinese medical instrument company specializing in designing and manufacturing disposable ophthalmic knives. The pronunciation of the English name “GeeEdge” resembles that of its Chinese brand name Jia Jie. The adoption of “GeeEdge” also delivers the good wish of making products that have competitive Edge to amaze and wow the customers as to say Geez.
Wave is a medical enterprise that develops and produces surgical instruments including sports medicine products. The English name Wave is pronounced similarly to the Chinese brand name Wei Fu; In addition, Wave also corresponds to the wavy shape of the products.
We found Heyou through personal connections. It was a quick turnaround. We really liked the English name she came up with. It was phonetically and culturally sound. Our clients also like it since it is easy to remember.

Heyou really did a good job with our brand name. We did not want to literally translate our Chinese brand name. Instead we wanted a concise name that is easy to remember and also relevant. We got a nice one. The logo was nice too. We are glad our clients like it as well.

I like to DIY. I love the process of figuring out how to do things. Applying for U.S. graduate schools was one of the most rewarding experience I had and changed my life there forth. I got addicted to depending on myself to get things done since then. I was able to adjust to life in the states quickly because I embrace everything new as a learning and exploring opportunity.
Another big challenge was setting up a company. It is both simple and hard. From the registration to finding the right place and people, it was quite a learning experience, and worthwhile. Overseeing the company’s overall business operations and development, including product launch, online and offline marketing, budgeting and logistics, is definitely the real experience. It was all about doing the right things in a right way eventually.
Traveling with a ready-for-surprise mindset is my strategy to embrace the most fun. The interesting people you meet and the breathtaking view you come upon make every bit of it worthy. If these can be achieved with an economical budget, that will be even better. Let me help design your trip and get the most out of your time and money.
I would love to help those who are passionate in working things out on their own. Let me help to kickstart your exploring journey.

ABOUT
Being a science student, I didn’t expect myself to study English and journalism in college. However, I am becoming more of myself after the learning, as it enables me to learn about other cultures, shows me new perspectives of looking at the world, and tremendously expands my horizon.
Cultural differences are not scary. We have more similarities than differences than we thought. By communicating sincerely and efficiently we can bridge the differences. I want to be part of it. I want to help bridge the differences.
