Brandigo China is one of the few independent marketing and communication agencies in Shanghai. Brandigo China was founded by American Michael Golden in 2004.

Brandigo China developed the public relations business from 2005-2009. In 2014 the company developed content creation and inbound content marketing as core services, along with an internal communications consultancy. The company moved from its headquarters in InFactory[2] to new offices in Anken Green in the Jing'an District of Shanghai in January 2010. Golden was dubbed the "Branding King of Shanghai" by City Weekend Shanghai[3] in 2010. The company works with many Shanghai-based partners.[4] Brandigo is a member of the PRCA and abides by their professional conduct standards for communication agencies.
