"WORLD MADAM" is an international brand with global influence. The term "madam" in WORLD MADAM is derived from the French word "madame," a polite and formal form of address for women in both English and French, pronounced as "ma dame." Registered and initiated by Anni Huang in Canada, it now operates globally through a dual-headquarters model based in China and America under the World Madam Group, with support from the World Madam Foundation. The mission of WORLD MADAM is to establish female role models, promote the development of female talents, support social stability, and provide assistance to underprivileged women and children, thereby contributing to global peace and development. Guided by the concept of "One Small Step for Madams, One Giant Leap for the World," WORLD MADAM has evolved into a comprehensive service platform empowering women worldwide. Through cultural activities showcasing female charm and sharing their inspirational stories, WORLD MADAM aims to advance global female entrepreneurship and employment by driving commercial initiatives and opportunities.
Over the years, the brand has been regarded as a symbol of modern women's fashion culture and has even been referred to by experts in the field as the "Oscar" of the women's world. Since its foundation, hundreds of international events have taken place, attracting millions of women from various countries and regions. These women have not only showcased their personal talents and charm but have also embodied the core values of the World Madam brand, further enriching its depth and significance.
In terms of brand activities, World Madam emphasizes innovative and diverse development. It has organized selection events and award ceremonies in non-traditional formats, along with hundreds of charity dinners. In 2024, through partnerships with international organizations such as the United Nations, it showcased cultural initiatives like the "EmpowerHER" series. To date, by collaborating with nearly 100 international and local agencies and brands from various countries and regions, World Madam has successfully completed its global brand expansion. It has garnered approval and support from local governments as well as praise and congratulations from multinational dignitaries and celebrities. As a result, World Madam has enhanced its social influence and solidified its position as a leading platform for women worldwide.
According to De Wet, World Madam Group Global Secretary, as of December 2024, the World Madam brand has secured over 80 independent intellectual property rights worldwide, established more than 100 city meeting rooms and partner agencies, and hosted over 100 large-scale series events. It has also made charitable donations exceeding 100 instances. Nearly 1 million women have participated in its activities, either directly or indirectly, and it once set a record with over 2 million people watching its events online globally, attracting coverage from more than 700 mainstream media outlets. In 2024, World Madam launched the "Double 100" initiative, in which 100 madams endorsed 100 brands, fostering stronger connections with other international brands. Looking ahead, World Madam aims to continue creating a diversified, open, and inclusive career development platform for women worldwide. Through brand cooperation and connections, it seeks to spread positive energy and contribute further to society through continuous innovation and cross-cultural development strategies.
After years of development, World Madam has established a framework centered on international cultural activities as its main axis, gradually expanding its cooperation with the global female and household consumer goods supply chain. It employs a modern operational model that integrates both online and offline platforms. Additionally, World Madam has introduced a salary incentive mechanism to support women worldwide in their entrepreneurial and employment endeavors, forming the Version 1.0 World Madam brand commercial closed-loop layout. In 2024, keynote speeches and a series of activities led by Anni Huang, the founder of World Madam, have consistently elevated the brand's influence to new heights.
In 2025, World Madam Group plans to accelerate its brand upgrade to Version 2.0 and expand into the education and multimedia sectors. Looking ahead, the group aims to leverage its platform to establish a global live video streaming system, prioritizing support for unemployed women affected by family obligations or postpartum challenges. By helping these women return to work or start new businesses, World Madam seeks to empower them while further enhancing its global influence and appeal. These initiatives will not only solidify the brand's social responsibility but also underscore its global leadership in advocating for women's empowerment and development.
