In 2004, she took up a new role at Grandviewer Technology, running the company’s social media campaigns and influencer programmes, as well as directing its broader marketing strategy.
A move to Taipei followed in 2006, when Chou became Business Development Director at Vistagic Advertising. She worked with a huge range of clients, including China Airlines, Just Diamonds and Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After a stint at Apex Communications, Chou joined the Edelman PR & Digital as Head of Consumer and Digital in 2011. She helped bring global brands including eBay, Fiji Water and Spotify into the Taiwanese market.
