“If they [foreign social media experts and
firms] are not tracking and engaging on
Chinese social media they will not be talking
to most of their Chinese customers who are
online.
Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are basically
irrelevant on the Chinese Internet.”

If you compare the China’s social
networks with the western ones,
you can easily identify at least
five or six equivalent/clone
versions
While the China’s versions
usually dominate the local
market

Media business model & e-commerce

environment & focusing on O2O
activation(pathway to m-commerce)

with membership/credit cards
• Driving coupons delivery, small
amount payments, & group-buying
§  The battle between WeChat & Weibo will continue
§  For marketers who care about customers from China, it is not
an “either or” decision
§  No matter how similar their functions are, WeChat & Weibo
are very different by nature
§  Therefore, marketers need different content &
communication strategy for each platform	
Conclusion
THANK YOU!
