    SHENZEN, China --

    Stink Studios has appointed Etienne Chia to run both of its China offices as managing director. He replaces Ramzi Chaabane who is leaving the company. Chia will oversee the creative agency’s operations in APAC, reporting to group managing director, James Britton.

    Chia joins Stink from Accenture Song, where he was responsible for the Jaguar Land Rover account. Before that he held several creative and strategic leadership roles in various digital and experiential agencies in China, including Freeman and Lightbridge. Chia will work closely with creative director Addie Hao, the Stink Studios veteran who oversees the creative output in the region.

    Stink Studios opened its second office in China, located in Shenzhen, in March this year. The expansion followed a period of strong growth and represents a deepening commitment to the unique ecosystem of innovation offered by the China market, and the strengthening demand from Chinese technology and fashion brands for world class creative campaigns, design and digital experiences. Stink Studios works with several clients with headquarters in Shenzhen, including Tencent, Oppo and Oneplus. The company was early to the Chinese market, first opening its doors in Shanghai in 2015.

    Chia said, “Stink Studios has a great reputation in China for craft and digital innovation, and I’m very proud to be joining this amazing team. I’m looking forward to developing our creative services and expertise and helping shape the future of brand experiences in China.”

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
