Our History

Apexmind ascended to the No.1 ranking in strategic positioning consulting within merely three years of its establishment.
In three transformative years, Leverage redefined industry benchmarks, outperforming traditional giants in brand equity, client retention, and revenue growth to claim the throne as industry leader.Through its innovative "Positioning Equation" and integrated positioning+campaigns approach, Leverage propelled CHAGEE from 1.2 billion yuan to 29.5 billion yuan in revenue over three years, with a market capitalization of 40 billion yuan, making it the first Chinese tea brand listed on NASDAQ.
2015
Apexmind Consulting co-founded a strategic consulting firm as the primary founder.
As the founding architect of Leverage, Rongjun Yao conceptualized the proprietary "Positioning + 4P" strategic model. Under his leadership, over seven years, the Leverage team has delivered five successful deca-billion yuan milestone cases, solidifying its status as an industry trailblazer.
2010
The Positioning Center was established at Peking University HSBC Business School.
The Center analyzed practical positioning cases for over 10,000 corporate students, elevating positioning theory to a prominent discipline in China's top academic institutions.
