Welcome adress

Dear Honoured Guests,
I would like to welcome everyone to the 2017 Manitoba Chinese Business Gala, it is a pleasure to have you all with
us, for an evening of celebration, entertainment, culture and networking.
As we enter the year of The Rooster, I find myself feeling very fortunate for all of the wonderful connections that
I have made here in Manitoba’s business community, and I am reminded of how far my business has come since
opening my doors in spring 2013.
I am proud to create a bridge for local businesses to link to the Chinese Community, I love helping my clients reach
a new audience and increase their sales, and I am proud to provide members of the Chinese Community information
in their language, through their channels to connect them with the businesses and services that they need.
Reflecting on the past year I am grateful for all that we have accomplished at IDO Media, this time last year we
were a team of six, and now as 2017 begins we are a team of twelve!
The IDO Media team achieved many milestones during 2016, and I am proud of our accomplishments that I have
highlighted on the chart on the right.
Our continued growth has helped us to achieve our mission: To help businesses accelerate their growth through
cross-cultural market penetration and multi-platform marketing strategy services.
I am looking forward to continued success in 2017, starting this evening at the Manitoba Chinese Business Gala.
Bringing together businesses with different cultural backgrounds has always been very rewarding for me, and I
wanted to create an event that would give our clients, and business partners, the opportunity to network and make
connections with each other.
We are also very excited to be launching the first annual Chinese Business awards this evening, there are so many
deserving nominees, business in the Chinese Community is certainly booming!
We look forward to a prosperous and productive year of The Rooster at IDO Media, and we look forward to working
with many of you, so we can all achieve our business goals. We have a lot planned for 2017, view the chart
to the right to see what we will be up to!
I would like to thank all of our partners; this event would not be possible without your generous support. I would
also like to thank my team who has worked tirelessly over the past few weeks organizing our evening. Finally to
all of my clients and business partners in attendance this evening thank you again for joining us, I hope that you
make connections this evening that will help your business prosper in 2017, year of The Rooster.
Sincerely,
Fisher Wang
Founder & CEO
