Shiseido this year newly defined its mission as 'BEAUTY INNOVATIONS FOR A BETTER WORLD' and wishes to help people worldwide to keep their minds and bodies healthy and live beautiful and positive lives. Through sports sponsorships, Shiseido aims to create more value for Chinese consumers who are becoming health conscious.
The WTA was established in 1973 by Billie Jean King with the intent to provide equal opportunities for female tennis players - this principle perfectly matches the concept of 'empower women' promoted by Shiseido, who drives gender equality through activities such as partnership with UN Women. Because the two organization share the same goals of female empowerment, Shiseido decided to partner with the WTA Finals.
As a symbol of partnership between Shiseido and the WTA Finals, a new slogan for the Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen has been revealed - 'Sparks Will Fly' - which represents top players' excellent technique, energy and passion.
