A Bridge to China is a unique travel company. They plan custom heritage tours for families with adopted Chinese children. We saw this as a beautiful opportunity for A Bridge to China to connect the narrative of their own child for a poginant personal appeal and to use their own family photos from their recent cultural exchange in China. The result was far beyond what the client expected-- the story of a sentimental, relective journey, instead of a just travel brochure.
