About us
What Starise International Does
Starise International funds art and entertainment projects in China and the US by connecting investors to a wide range of entertainment properties.
Starise International is a cross-cultural all-in-one promoter, ambassador, producer and facilitator of art and entertainment business between China and the US. The company represents enthusiastic, committed investors in both countries looking to tap into lucrative and highly visible entertainment-industry business and sponsorship opportunities.
Why Work With Starise International?
It’s no secret that the Chinese market represents a huge opportunity for US companies. But fewer people know that China is also interested in tapping into the US market. Unfortunately, not everyone can be successful in both cultures. While success in China largely depends on connections, this is also true in the US, particularly in the entertainment business. Starise was founded by a team of well-connected Chinese and American businesspeople who recognized an opportunity to bridge the cultural gap. Local partners are enthusiastic to work with people they know and trust. There are not many organizations that can manage this – Starise International is one of them.
A Winning Team
Starise has been appointed by the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) as their official exclusive marketing representative and agent in China.
