HONG KONG, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Iconic Asian culinary brand Lee Kum Kee today introduced its new brand positioning – "Enabling Superior Experiences through Asian Cuisine" – and launched its first global brand campaign. The centerpiece of the FLAVORS THAT BIND campaign is an impactful brand film that celebrates Lee Kum Kee's values of culinary heritage and culture while inviting the world to experience new traditions and togetherness at Lunar New Year and beyond.

"Founded 137 years ago, Lee Kum Kee remains true to its mission of promoting Chinese culinary culture worldwide while advancing the reach and influence of Asian cuisine to meet the growing global appetite for new and exciting flavors. As Asian food, music, and cinema increasingly resonate with people around the world, Lee Kum Kee is seizing this moment to further champion Asian culinary traditions and culture," Jet Jing, Chief Executive Officer of Lee Kum Kee Sauce, explains. "Through our new brand positioning, we aim to inspire creativity and foster connections to enable superior experiences for people everywhere through Asian cuisine."

The FLAVORS THAT BIND film captures cherished moments from Lunar New Year tables worldwide. From dumpling-making with a much-loved grandmother to laughter and cheers with friends and family, it celebrates the role of food in connecting generations and communities. It is an invitation from Lee Kum Kee for everyone to savor the richness of culture, reconnect over meals, and create memories that last a lifetime.

"With the launch of our new brand campaign, Lee Kum Kee celebrates its evolution as a global gateway to Asian culinary culture, representing the diversity, richness, and expressivity of Asian flavors on a global stage," Doreen Cheng, Chief Marketing Officer of Lee Kum Kee Sauce, says. "For us, 'global' is not restricted to geography – it's an attitude of authentic inclusiveness, where the flavors, traditions, and togetherness we celebrate resonate universally, this spirit is at the heart of our campaign. Through the brand film, we aim to preserve our heritage while inspiring chefs and food lovers to connect with Asian cuisine in meaningful ways."

The FLAVORS THAT BIND campaign is being rolled out from today across traditional and social media platforms, with the evocative brand film taking over global landmarks in New York, London, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

With a richly flavorful heritage of 137 years, Lee Kum Kee is synonymous around the world with the authentic tastes of Asia. In the 1920s, it travelled alongside immigrants from China to the U.S., providing a taste of home in an unfamiliar land and also enabling their entrepreneurial dreams, with ingredients and sauces that were the building blocks of modern Chinese-American cuisine. The brand continues to promote culinary culture and support the global food industry's growth and innovation to this day. In June 2024, it became the first Official Sauce and Condiment Partner of The World's 50 Best Restaurants.

As the conversation around Asian food and culture continues to evolve, Lee Kum Kee aims to stay at the forefront of this dialogue by celebrating Asian heritage while welcoming new consumers to explore the vibrant and sensorial flavors of Asian cuisine. With a growing presence in more than 100 countries and regions, Lee Kum Kee remains a global gateway for professional and home chefs alike to explore, innovate, and create superior culinary experiences in kitchens and restaurants worldwide.
