Artwork and video delivery service Adstream has opened an office in Shenzhen to service the Chinese market.

The company says the move is a response to increased interest and investment of global brands and agencies in the Chinese media market and demands by clients in the region.

The local office immediately becomes part of an 110-country network.

In Australia, Adstream has named former Sensis sales general manager Geoff Hoffmann for the new role of commercial director. In 21 years with the Australian directory publisher – owned by Telstra, which owned Adstream until three years ago – Hoffmann was eresponsible for digital sales and partnerships, as well as the physical Yellow Pages print and digital products.
