01The challenge

The Wellness Agency occupies an unusual position: it is simultaneously a talent brokerage, a media buyer, a capital introduction service, an APAC market-entry partner, and a route into America for Chinese brands. Five distinct value propositions, five distinct buyer types, one brand.

The commercial problem that creates is credibility compression. A founder evaluating them for talent partnerships needs to see roster proof. A media owner needs to see scale. An investor-adjacent client needs to see the capital network. A Chinese brand needs to see American media fluency in its own language. Presented badly, five strong propositions read as a firm that has not decided what it is.

Half the addressable audience does not read English as a first language. A firm whose fifth practice is bringing Chinese brands to America cannot credibly pitch that practice in English only — which made full Chinese localisation a requirement of the argument, not a nice-to-have.

In the client's wordsApproved for publication
We are five businesses wearing one name — talent, media, strategic capital, APAC entry, and US entry for Chinese brands. Every previous attempt at our site blended those into one paragraph that spoke to nobody. Chuck separated them into five distinct paths, put the roster and the press coverage where a stranger sees it first, and built the whole thing in Mandarin as well as English because half our market does not read English first. It reads like the firm we actually are.

02The approach

Which stages applied, and what they produced.

01

Structure

Separated the five practices into distinct, self-contained propositions rather than a blended pitch, so each buyer type can find their own path without wading through the other four. Nine page types, each with a single job.

02

Corroborate

Brought the named roster and third-party press forward as primary structural content. Ten current clients with logos and outbound links, plus a dedicated press wall citing the Wall Street Journal, Robb Report, Wallpaper and Yahoo Finance. Every figure on the site is footnoted to a publication.

03

Ground

Entity and technical foundation across both language editions, so the organization, its people and its practices resolve cleanly for search and answer engines in English and Chinese alike.

04

Structure

An answer-first FAQ block and a definitional 'Who we are' section, both written so a model can lift a complete, accurate answer without needing the surrounding page.

03Detail

The roster does most of the persuasive work, so it is treated as primary content rather than a logo strip. Health-Ade sold for $500 million in 2025 and the Wall Street Journal reported it. Cornbread Hemp was Inc. 5000's number one fastest-growing hemp company in America. Beyond Aero raised a $20M Series A in January 2025. Potato Head is the twenty-first ranked resort in the world. Wisdom Ventures raised $77.7 million. These are not adjectives, they are checkable third-party facts of exactly the kind answer engines treat as corroboration.

That principle earned its own page. The press wall states the reasoning in a single line — third-party verification is preferred to self-description — and then demonstrates it, every item credited to its outlet and dated. The structural advantage over a testimonial section is that each entry is independently checkable, which is exactly the property a retrieval system can act on.

The bilingual build is the part most agencies would have skipped. The entire site exists in English and Chinese with a persistent language switcher, which means the practice of bringing Chinese brands to America is demonstrated by the site rather than merely claimed on it. It also doubles the retrievable surface: a Chinese-language query about US market entry can now resolve to this client.

The hero carries proof above the fold rather than a value proposition — the Ryan Seacrest and iHeartMedia relationship that led to iHeart's investment in Health-Ade and a partnership reaching nine in ten Americans monthly. Leading with a verifiable outcome instead of a promise is a structural choice, and it is the single highest-leverage decision on the page.

Work continues on the answer-engine layer. Wellness-sector buyers increasingly ask models to shortlist partners for talent deals and market entry, and those are precisely the prompts where a firm with this roster should be named.

Disclosure

Engagement ongoing. Answer-engine visibility work is in progress; we publish measured results once a baseline period has completed rather than at launch.

Relationship

Jay Faires is also a founding partner in Mammoth China Outbound, a separate AIGNCI client with its own case study on this site. We name the overlap rather than presenting the two engagements as unconnected references.
