WhaleOcean does one concrete thing: it gets Chinese-Canadian businesses onto TikTok and in front of English-speaking customers. Each 2024 poster carried two or three services, a row of figures, two QR codes and a portrait, and the reader didn’t know where to look first. The re-set keeps one rule: one poster, one service.

  • Three upright posters
  • Ink and champagne colourways
  • Bilingual service copy
  • 2026 re-set

01Structure

One poster,
one service.

All three posters share one skeleton: the name at the top, then the service and one large headline, one sentence on who it is for and what it does, and a single button. Chinese leads and English follows in one small line — the client’s customers read Chinese, but the market they want speaks English.

  1. 01The name

    WhaleOcean beside 鲸海集团, in the same place on every poster.

  2. 02One service

    The service in small coral type, then one headline in two lines.

  3. 03One sentence

    Who it is for and what it does, with one line of English after it.

  4. 04One action

    A single button; the original’s QR codes and phone numbers are left off this page.

02Colourways

Ink with a jolt of colour,
champagne with room.

The originals came in two colourways — black with hot pink, and white with champagne gold. Both stay, tightened: ink with coral and lagoon for the account that has to stop a thumb, pearl and champagne for the starter and management posters, which can afford to read slower.

03Services

Six services,
one clear list.

On the original management poster the six services ran together in one long sentence. Pulled apart, each has a number, a Chinese and an English name and one line — small enough for the poster, ready for the website and sales sheets.

Scope
Three upright posters · Ink and champagne colourways · Bilingual service copy · 2026 re-set

Re-set in 2026 from the studio’s 2024 source file for WhaleOcean’s three posters; the posters are typeset in HTML on this page. The original’s AI-generated portrait, screenshots of other people’s TikTok videos, reach and earnings figures, QR codes, phone numbers, email and address are not repeated. Service names and descriptions follow the original text, lightly edited; the headlines on the second and third posters are new. The archive holds no usable file of the client’s logo, so the name is set in type. TikTok is a trademark of its owner; no partnership is implied.
