HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 16 June 2023 – Ananchi, a wellness boutique established in 2019 with a specialization in bust care and fertility treatments, today announces the opening of a new treatment center in the heart of Central, Hong Kong. The new center overlooks the Victoria Harbour and offers a wide range of innovative wellness solutions, with a focus on oriental bust treatments and fertility care.

New technology has made it possible to obtain better body shape without the cost and the pain of traditional cosmetic surgeries. Instead of breast enlargement procedures and invasive injections which could be painful and costly, Ananchi’s new center offers non-invasive treatments that can help stimulate the body’s self-regulating mechanisms for optimal development, increasing upper body circulation for optimal growth. It also helps to facilitate the body’s healing and regeneration.

“The intersection of beauty, bust care, fertility and new healthtech is one of the most compelling areas of growth for the wellness industry – an area in which Ananchi is leading and is continuing to push forward,” said spokesperson for Annachi. “We are seeing very strong demand for non-invasive, machine-assisted bust care and fertility preservation services, which many see as a viable alternative to the traditional surgeries.”

New bust care and wellness offerings, impressive results without surgery

The latest Ananchi bust care treatment utilized innovative new technology from Japan, with machines specialized in unblocking meridian blockages, increasing upper body circulation and removing lymphatic drainage. These help to prevent blockages from stopping nutrients from traveling to the upper body and breast area. Special handpiece also helps to induce regenerative microcurrent and thermal energy deep into the body’s collagen layer, improve elasticity and plumpness, and create a more generous bust shape.

Ananchi currently offers unique wellness, male and female care treatments, utilizing the latest healthcare technology from leading providers in Japan, South Korea, China, and Thailand. All of which have been extremely well-received in their home country. These include:

• Quantum Biological Resonance technology, an innovation created by healthcare equipment providers from France and South Korea. This new technology helps with tissue healing and regeneration, improves circulation and also helps maintain healthy body temperature for optimal health. The device has received FDA approval.
• Japanese acupressure point technology, this new equipment uses microcurrent and low frequency and helps to relieve the symptoms of blockage of lymphatic systems, a major cause of unhealthy breasts and stiff body.
• Nano soothing diathermy with infrared, a new technology from South Korea that can emit healing thermal waves, helping to relax tensed muscles and relieve cramps during period. KFDA approved.
• MFIR helps to improve circulation and helps to detox the body.

Oriental healing with a scientific edge

“Ananchi has always been a big believer in the traditional Asian concept of body self regulation and regenerative power. Asian wellness practices such as acupuncture, qigong and massages are becoming more accepted in modern countries including Japan and South Korea. With the new Ananchi wellness center opening, we are committed to offering more science-based oriental wellness treatments to the Hong Kong market.”

Through their outstanding performance as the PR Lead for the pre-release campaign of the latest song of Global C-Pop Artist Tia Lee (Lee Yu Fen), Goodbye Princess, the communications agency earned prestige in the “Best Video Story-Telling” Category.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 15 June 2023 – Greater China-based leading communications agency Creative Consulting Group (CCG), part of global communications agency Redhill, claimed the Best Video Story-Telling Bronze Award today at the PR Awards Asia-Pacific 2023 Dinner & Awards Presentation, taking place at the St. Regis Hotel in Wan Chai. This award gave recognition to CCG for their outstanding performance in being the PR lead and producer for the pre-release campaign of Goodbye Princess, global fashion icon, C-pop singer, film and television actress — Tia Lee’s (Lee Yu Fen) latest hit song that broke records.

It was the communication agency’s first time working on a singer’s pre-release, one that faced the pressure of a tight timeline of 3 months, needed to create enough buzz for the media to pick up on the campaign, and sought the amplification of Tia’s message of women empowerment. The CCG team took on this challenge by putting together a production team consisting of award-winning professionals, to plan and execute a 6-episode long animation series that placed Tia Lee as the main character, a metaphor for different aspects of her career in the entertainment industry.

“We are honored to be recognized for our hard work in this prestigious award, as we always strive to leverage on the power of effective storytelling in every PR campaign” said Belinda Chan, CCG’s Founder. “It was a delight to work with Tia Lee and her team, and a large part of this pre-release campaign’s success was due to Tia Lee’s artistic talent, as well as her team’s exceptional management and communication.”

In addition to putting together the animation series, the CCG team was also responsible for the preparation, strategy, and execution of marketing materials. An innovative Instagram marketing approach was employed where all of Tia Lee’s 138 Instagram posts were deleted a few days before the launch of Goodbye Princess, replacing them with 6 all-back posts appearing as a blue line striking through the middle in a six-square grid. This strategy was effective in generating hype and noise online, and raised many questions among fans. Three days before the release of the first episode, a series of 3 posts each day showing the gradual visual of a woman falling deeper into the ocean was shown alongside a numbered countdown.

“We needed a powerful, bold, detailed oriented and global approach to reach our target audience,” said Thriving Influence Limited. “Tia Lee is an incredible artist with a strong vision for women empowerment, and we are glad to have worked with CCG to create a campaign with such a wide reach and long-lasting impact.”

The result of Goodbye Princess’ pre-release campaign achieved a record-breaking success, with the official music video of Goodbye Princess earning 100 million views within 20 days of release. Each animation episode achieved an average number of over 1 million views on Instagram and over 5.5 million views on YouTube. In addition, a total of 2,400 news reports were obtained, including from United States media Variety and Billboard, United Kingdom media tmrw, Australia media 9Honey, Hong Kong Media HK01 and SCMP, and Taiwan media TVBs, Mirror, and ETtoday. Tia Lee also ended up as the featured magazine cover for Vogue magazine and Rollacoaster, as well being invited to join London Fashion week.

Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General of the UNWTO, warmly welcomed Traveloka’s affiliation: “Joining UNWTO as an affiliate member is a remarkable step for Traveloka and the tourism industry. Having the private sector’s support is crucial in promoting sustainable tourism and achieving Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. We firmly believe collaborating with Traveloka will significantly contribute to developing a more sustainable global tourism sector.”

Traveloka will have the opportunity to engage directly with other affiliate members, advocate alongside tourism leaders and representatives from other member countries on the world stage, participate in high-level regional and international dialogues, and gain access to UNWTO’s insights on global tourism trends.
