A small studio built for global ambition.

LUNOVA (路·诺·华) exists for one kind of company: the one whose product deserves a bigger audience than its marketing has ever reached.

The name

Where "LUNOVA" comes from.

LUNOVA joins two ideas: LUNA, the moon — a guide that every culture, East and West, has navigated by for millennia — and NOVA, a star that suddenly brightens and becomes visible where it wasn't before. Together, the name is a promise: LUNOVA is the light that makes you findable, and the moment your company goes from overlooked to unmissable.

The Chinese name carries the same idea in three characters — read together, 路·诺·华 is the path of a promise kept, toward radiance — which is another way of saying what our tagline says in English: Let the world find you.

lù — road, path

The same idea behind our logo: a negative-space "L" mark drawn as a path ascending. Every engagement starts by finding the road.

nuò — promise, commitment

The word for a pledge you keep — which is why every LUNOVA engagement ships with written KPIs, not just good intentions.

huá — splendor, radiance

Also the character at the heart of 中华, the classical name for China itself — anchoring the name to where we're from.

LUNA finds the way. NOVA makes you visible. Together, they're a promise — 诺 — to get you there.
The story

Born in Chengdu. 写给世界.

We started LUNOVA after a decade of watching the same story repeat: brilliant companies — precise engineering, real craft, twenty-year track records — invisible to the buyers who were actively searching for exactly what they make.

The problem was never the product. It was the marketing relay race: a branding agency here, a translation vendor there, a web developer somewhere else, an ads freelancer at the end — each handoff losing a little of the story, until what reached the buyer sounded like nobody in particular.

So we built the studio we couldn't hire: strategy, brand, web, content, film and performance under one roof, written natively in English and 中文 at the same desk. One team. One story. Both languages. Every discipline.

The same gap runs the other way, too. International brands trying to earn real trust in China hit a mirror version of the same problem — a fragmented vendor landscape, a Chinese presence that reads like it was outsourced rather than built. LUNOVA works both directions: outbound for Chinese companies going global, inbound for international brands building a genuine China presence.

LUNOVA is incubated inside Hansi Trans+, a 15-year localization company that has served 1,000+ global clients across gaming, tech, and manufacturing. Before we opened LUNOVA to outside clients, we rebuilt Hansi Trans+'s own international presence first — website, brand voice, and a global conference debut — as proof that the model works before we ever asked anyone else to trust it.

The vision
To become the studio companies turn to first when they operate across the China–global divide — every discipline under one roof, leading on modern search, from Google and Baidu to the answers buyers ask AI first.

Values

What we hold ourselves to.

01

Accountability over activity

Every deliverable connects to a measurable KPI. We don't sell impressions or "engagement" — we commit to outcomes, in writing, and accept consequences when we miss them.

02

Radical transparency

Clients see how budgets are spent and how campaigns perform. Our monthly scorecards hide nothing.

03

Cross-cultural fluency

We translate business culture and buyer psychology between East and West — not just language. A brand that's technically translated but culturally tone-deaf still fails.

04

Craft over volume

A small number of clients, served deeply. We'd rather be your unfair advantage than everyone's vendor.

05

Long-term partnership

With clients and with each other, we build relationships designed to last years, not campaigns designed to end on delivery.

Principles

How we work.

Full-stack or nothing

Every discipline in-house, moving in lockstep. We never blame another vendor, because there isn't one.

Bilingual is native, not translated

EN and 中文 written in parallel by native speakers. If it reads like a translation, it doesn't ship.

Measured, or it didn't happen

Every engagement has KPIs, dashboards, and a monthly readout. Brand and performance in the same report.

Craft over volume

A small number of clients, served deeply. We'd rather be your unfair advantage than everyone's vendor.
