China has over one billion active mobile internet users, with users spending an average of three hours a day on their smartphones. Overseas businesses can leverage digital channels to grow brand awareness, engage customers, and transact. A unique digital ecosystem, the absence of Western channels, and challenges around firewalls, censorship, and data laws, all create significant challenges for UK brands to develop and execute their digital marketing strategies.

This session will cover the essentials of developing effective digital marketing campaigns, covering web development, SEO, social media campaigns and developing effective WeChat strategies. Whether you are a consumer brand or a B2B exporter, join the session to learn more about the art of digital marketing in the world’s largest consumer market.
