"Goodyear has been collaborating with YCP on new market entry strategy. I would personally like to congratulate YCP on the commendable job your team has done in supporting us, with professionalism, business intelligence, and solid market insights, in the development of a route-to-market strategy for a completely new country. The team’s strategic advice was so useful and on point, that we have already worked on a second project together, optimizing our distributor strategy in one of our existing markets. We look forward to continuing working with YCP and highly recommend them as growth partners."

"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."
