“Our relationship with Samarkand has been critical to a successful brand launch into China. From the outset, we found the whole team to be transparent with information, flexible in approach, and extremely knowledgeable - and this has not waivered with time. I would consider Samarkand to be trustworthy advisors and an extremely collaborative partner – not to mention they are friendly, dynamic, ambitious and fun to be around.”

“Unlike other proposals we received Samarkand provided us with a clear and detailed understanding of how they would market our products in the Chinese CBEC market. Over the past 3 years we have found them to be collaborative and transparent in their work for our brand.”

“Working with Samarkand has allowed us to expand our market and reach a new audience. Their flexibility and support has been invaluable, their team are always on hand to provide assistance, explanations and expertise. It also goes beyond selling and logistics with the additional marketing support proving to make the biggest difference.”
