How it fits

Six agencies. One spine.

The agencies are independent. Their own brands, their own pricing, their own teams. They share a leadership group, a production engine, and a way of working. Here is the structure that keeps them coordinated, without collapsing them into a generalist.

The logic

Two leads. Five specialists. One engine.

Two lead agencies, one per direction. Five specialists that plug into either direction. One production engine running across both.

What every agency draws from

Four things shared across the group.

Independent agencies upstairs, shared spine downstairs. None of these is billed twice.

  1. Engine

    HubStudio. The content engine.

    AIGC image, video, copy, design, motion. Every brief that needs production runs through this layer. Cost stays competitive even at the volume Chinese channels demand.

    • Image
    • Video
    • Copy
    • Design
    • Motion
  2. Back office

    Admin, Finance, IT, HR.

    The unsexy parts of running an agency, mutualised across the group. Run once for seven agencies, not seven times. Every founder's headache, removed from every founder.

    • Admin
    • Finance
    • IT
    • HR
  3. Creative

    One voice across agencies.

    When a brief crosses two or more agencies (most do), group creative direction keeps the work in one voice. Same brand on Tmall and on RedNote. Same tone on a Western LinkedIn page and a French Google Ads landing.

    • Brand
    • Tone
    • Visual
    • Copy
  4. Leadership

    Group leadership across the seven.

    Each agency runs under its own senior lead. Group leadership coordinates strategy, hiring, and direction across all seven, so a brief that crosses agencies still has one accountable owner and one shared playbook.

    • Strategy
    • Direction
    • Cross-agency oversight
In practice

Four ways the agencies stack up.

Same brief, different mix. Pick the pattern closest to yours.

  1. Lead · BearingBridge

    The inbound full stack.

    BearingBridge runs the brief, with TheRedScroll on social, ChinaWebFoundry on web, BeyondCompass for distribution, HubStudio producing the content. One client. One pipeline. One number to measure against.

  2. Lead · BeyondBridge

    The outbound full stack.

    BeyondBridge runs the brief, with Nuvora Studio on LinkedIn, ChinaWebFoundry building the Western-facing website, HubStudio producing the content. Named in-market sales reps in the US, UK, Germany, and France handle the closing call.

  3. Direct · No lead

    The horizontal-only client.

    A US B2B SaaS company that just wants LinkedIn run properly hires Nuvora directly. They never touch the China side. A French retailer that needs 5,000 product images a quarter hires HubStudio directly. They never touch the social side.

  4. One agency only

    The single-module client.

    A Swiss watch brand that just wants its WordPress site to load in two seconds in Shanghai hires ChinaWebFoundry. Just that. Nothing else.
