Chinese Social Media Strategy
WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Douyin and Weibo each play by different rules. This module covers how each platform works, what content performs, and how to build a plan that fits your brand and budget.
China rewards the marketers who understand it properly. This training exists for professionals who want to be that person in their organisation.
You will leave able to build a credible China strategy, brief any agency with authority, and spot weak thinking before it wastes your budget.
Six focused modules. When you finish, you will not need to rely on an agency to tell you what is working, or what is not.
WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Douyin and Weibo each play by different rules. This module covers how each platform works, what content performs, and how to build a plan that fits your brand and budget.
KOLs are not interchangeable. This module covers how to find the right ones for your category, what to put in a brief, how to negotiate fees, and what to actually measure once the campaign ends.
Tmall, JD.com, Douyin Shop and Xiaohongshu all work differently. This module covers store setup, product pages that convert, and how cross-border entry actually works for brands outside China.
What works on Instagram will not land on Xiaohongshu. This module covers how Chinese audiences read content, what visuals they respond to, how paid ads work on WeChat and Douyin, and how to read your numbers properly.
Live-selling in China is not a gimmick. Brands are running daily streams and converting viewers in real time. This module covers how it works technically, what a good stream looks like, and where short video fits in your overall plan.
Most Western marketers have never heard of these tools. This module gives you hands-on time with DeepSeek, Doubao and Kimi so you can produce Chinese content for Xiaohongshu, WeChat and Douyin without needing a dedicated native team.
