Meet SageSight
Sean Upton-McLaughlin founded SageSight Consulting after more than a decade in China working hand-in hand with well-known Chinese brands including Huawei, vivo, and other companies across the digital assets, gaming, smartphones and new energy sectors.
Through Sean’s leadership and expertise, SageSight offers Chinese and Western clients a more focused and flexible approach than traditional, bottom-heavy agency teams that charge top dollar for junior team members who don’t fully understand their clients’ needs or target market.
SageSight provides on strong cross cultural insights and partner networks, the latest marketing insights, and a focused execution mindset that allows us to work hand-in-hand with client teams to build strong brands and communication programs.
