Unlock New Marketing Inspiration with Influencers in China

Are overseas brands limited to working only with local influencers when entering the Chinese market?

By utilizing foreign influencers to introduce and promote products from their own perspectives, brands can enhance credibility and create a dynamic cultural fusion between Chinese and international elements.

Influencer Marketing: Q&A for Overseas Brands

How can overseas brands effectively utilize influencers in China?
Beyond local KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) and KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers), how can international brands expand their promotional strategies and boost credibility in the Chinese market?

Answer:
In addition to collaborating with local influencers, foreign influencers residing in China can add a new dimension to your marketing efforts. These expat KOLs bring a fresh perspective, sharing their experiences with products from a foreigner’s viewpoint, complementing the local narrative. This strategy helps amplify brand awareness, resonate with diverse audiences, and drive effective product promotion.
