Ivan Theodoulou

About Me

I am a senior public relations executive with over 30 years of experience.

History

I was born in the UK and first visited Hong Kong in 1984. I returned in 1991 and started my PR career at a local public relations firm but wanted proper regional experience rather than learning behind a desk, so I packed up and moved to Malaysia and joined a firm there in 1995. Four years later, I returned to Hong Kong for good.

Founder of Eight PR

Established in 2021, Eight PR is the best boutique PR agency in Hong Kong, China. We focus on technology, law, logistics, and wealth PR, marketing communications, writing, and corporate introductions.

Frequent China Visitor

I first visited China in 1987, traveling by train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, and then didn't go back for several years. These days, I visit almost every other week.

eBook Author

I have written and self-published ebooks on PR, which are available in online bookstores and libraries.

Tech

I'm a self-confessed lover of all things tech, both B2B and B2C and, once upon a time, used to build my own gaming rigs. Then I switched to Mac and never went back.

Zoo Keeper

Two dogs and two cats.

Driving

I passed my China driving test in March 2024 and have driven many times in Guangdong province.

Blogs

In 2021, I launched a new blog focused on AI in PR and the tools for PR and marketing pros under www.prtechtools.com.

Funds Sniper Ambassador

In a personal capacity, I promote Funds Sniper, a search engine for easy, economical access to 18,000 private equity & venture capital funds and 20,000 contacts. Use code: amb-ogFFA for a discount.

The Good Book

I've written a work of fiction, and it's going through the final stages of editing. Taken 9 years so far. Update: I finally self-published it and it's selling on Amazon.

Radio Producer

I work part-time as a radio producer for RTHK's The Close; a daily business show.
