Meet the China Influencers

With the unparalleled power of Chinese social media and e-commerce influencers over their followers, there is little doubt that Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) marketing should be a key consideration for any international brands setting their China marketing budget. 

During the relatively short Covid lockdown in 2020 millions of Chinese consumers turned to live-streams for both e-commerce and entertainment. China had 562 million livestreaming users back in June and one the most dynamic influencer markets in the world. 

However, the rapid changing digital landscape is also challenging for International brands to navigate.  

The “Meet the China Influencers“ digital session will help UK brands unlock the KOL mystery phenomenon. We will invite 2-3 KOLs to share their experience and insights of working with international brands from the Influencer perspective. The session will give a valuable opportunity for participating brands to ask questions to the KOLs directly.
