announcing the (soft) launch of the EDGE CREATIVE COLLECTIVE ::

Monday, May 10th, 2010

:: since 2007, the Neocha team has been dedicated to supporting China’s creative community through our online platform Neocha.com, various online and offline events, and ongoing projects / collaborations with commercial entities in China and abroad.

In late 2009, we launched NeochaEDGE to communicate our consultancy offering and more effectively showcase to the world the very best, local creative content and talent in China that we work with on various client efforts. As an extension of that commitment, we are excited – thrilled, in fact – to announce the next phase of NeochaEDGE: the EDGE Creative Collective.

Please note that this is just the “soft launch” (whatever that really means) of the EDGE Creative Collective (aka: ECC). Over the next few months, expect to see ECC continuously grow and evolve with fresh talent and new creative disciplines.
