For UK institutions advertising in these publications presents an opportunity to establish or reinforce brand awareness.

Should you wish to advertise in any of these publications, please email Steve Corry, Regional Business Development Manager at steven.corry@britishcouncil.org.hk, and relevant British Council country staff will then be in touch with you.
