What We Delivered - Branded Merchandise Designed for Global Rollout
For the Midea × Manchester City partnership, DTC World supported the development and rollout of a global merchandise programme across more than 30 markets.

DTC designs & delivers campaign-ready merchandise end-to-end, ensuring concepts are adapted into formats that can be executed reliably across markets.

This structure simplifies coordination while maintaining consistency across markets.
