I love your site! I am based in Beijing and it is pretty cool to see someone going full tilt in Asia - gives me some inspiration.

If you're trying to expand into other countries, well -- that's another reason right there.

As for you being an asset to China while in Asia - you're likely more familiar with the culture (I don't know if you're a native) and while everything is online, I think (even in the US) that more local (espec given the time zone change) can be more efficient/feasible/workable. Just a hunch. Use whatever contacts you may have there as well!

At 7:39pm on November 17, 2010, Perry Norton PanRight Produx. said…: Hi Brian--

It sounds like you're doing everything you need to do; the only think I can suggest is to approach companies in the US that have offices overseas and let them know you're out there - ditto with ad agencies and post-production houses. I think China will be a great place to be in the coming years since the economy is booming. If I think of/hear of any particulars about other ways to approach overseas clients, I'll pass them along; I'm of the same mindset. I have one tiny client in Israel, and another small one in the Netherlands but it's mostly little stuff, and IVR. You might check out WIDEVOX and see if they need a new male voice,,,?

At 7:31pm on November 8, 2010, Perry Norton PanRight Produx. said…: Thanks for reaching out. You've got a great client portfolio and impressive versatility. Keep in touch and I'll do the same. How long have you been in Taiwan? I have cousins who lived there many years ago - they recently turned me on the Sechuan peppercorns which they said gives a flavor to certain foods that they have only experienced in Taiwan.

Do you find the "business/industry" to operate differently in Asia vis a vis casting, production, etc

At 3:45am on August 20, 2010, David Seys said…: Hello Brian! Thank you for the Add. Looks like you have a good business going for you in Taiwan, Congratulations.

It;s a small world now!

All the best.
