创意和责任
成立时，Bright 从事的是儿童出版业的代理工作；随着我们的发展，我们的工作也有了新的拓展，我们开发了新的媒体、新的渠道、新的市场和观众。
目前我们工作领域涉及到：儿童出版、插图、广告、贺卡与礼物、电影和电视、商品许可。因此，我们的作品和艺术家也获得了更多的商业机会。
当我们寻找并培养新画家时，我们注重我们公司在国际舞台上所扮演的角色，因此无论是在儿童书中还是广告活动中，我们致力于在作品中体现出社会的多元性。
At Bright, we don’t just represent talent—we nurture it. We guide careers with care, creativity, and a long-term commitment to success.
Meet the team
We are proud to represent talent in the children’s field at any stage of their career, and we continue to welcome submissions from artists and writers of all backgrounds.
