Private traffic sounds great on paper: build the audience once, keep talking to them, stop paying to reach them every time 📱💬

But that is also where brands get into trouble.

A WeChat group is not a strategy. A contact list is not a relationship. And more messages usually do not create more value 📉

The real work is what happens after the first interaction: how people stay connected, what they receive, when WeCom makes sense, where Mini Programs fit, and how the whole thing connects back to CRM 🔗👥🧩

Our latest guide breaks down how brands should think about WeChat private traffic in 2026 👇

China’s microdrama boom is getting even more interesting. 🎬🤖
AI is making video production faster and cheaper, which means brands can test more ideas, take more creative risks and learn much faster from what audiences actually respond to. 📱⚡️📊

But there’s a catch. When content becomes easier to make, simply making more of it is no longer enough.
The real advantage shifts to the ideas, the storytelling and the cultural understanding behind the content. 💡🎥

We explored what this could mean for brands marketing in China. 👇

Love seeing this. 🍦🌏
We worked with Yo-Chi Frozen Yogurt on a KOL campaign targeting Chinese consumers in Sydney, so it’s pretty special watching the brand continue to grow internationally.
From Australia to Singapore, and now the UK, Yo-Chi is building a genuinely global footprint, with its US debut on the horizon.
Opening stores is one thing. Building real local demand in each market is the harder part.
That’s what makes this journey so interesting to watch.
Great to have played a small part in it, and even better to see what comes next. 👏💗

Chinese students in Australia are often treated as one marketing audience. They really are not. 🎓

Someone researching universities from China is thinking about visas, accommodation and whether a city feels right. A student in their first few months here is suddenly looking for groceries, furniture, cafés, beauty services and weekend plans. A year later, the same person may be searching for internships, travel, fitness and places their friends are recommending. 📱🏠☕🛍️💼

Xiaohongshu sits across all of those moments, but the content that works at each stage is very different.

Our latest blog looks at how Australian brands can reach Chinese students by understanding what they actually need at each point in their life here, rather than treating “Chinese students” as one neat demographic.

Xiaohongshu’s growth in Australia is becoming a real marketing opportunity. 📈🇦🇺📱

With more than 700,000 monthly users in Australia, RedNote has become a real discovery platform for Chinese students, travellers and local Chinese communities. 🔍☕🍜🛍️✈️

And the interesting part is why it keeps growing: every new local post makes the platform more useful for the next person searching. 📈✨

For Australian brands, the question is no longer whether the audience exists. It’s whether they’re already searching for you. 👀

Bilibili is going global 🌏🎥 But for US brands, the bigger opportunity may actually run in the other direction. 🇺🇸➡️🇨🇳

With 376M+ monthly users and nearly 2 hours of daily engagement, Bilibili offers serious reach in China. 👀📈

The catch? Easier access doesn’t make localization optional. Translation helps. Understanding the audience matters more. 💬🎯

We break down what Bilibili’s latest expansion could mean for brands marketing in China. 👇

Xiaohongshu is no longer just helping global brands reach Chinese consumers. 🌏📱

With Redshop, it is starting to flip the model - helping Chinese merchants reach shoppers overseas. 🛍️✈️

What makes this interesting is not another ecommerce marketplace. It is Xiaohongshu trying to export the same content → discovery → trust → purchase behaviour that made it so powerful in China. 👀💬❤️🛒

Could Redshop become the next Temu? Probably not.

Could Xiaohongshu become a much bigger global discovery platform? That is the more interesting question. 🚀🌍

We unpack what Redshop is, how it works, and why international brands should be paying attention. 👇

The internet spent the last few years worrying that AI would replace filmmakers. 🤖🎬
China just delivered a much funnier plot twist: a film went viral partly because it looked worse than AI. 😂

Niu Lai was made by a two person mother and son team over five years, reportedly on a budget of just ¥20,000–¥30,000 (around US$3,000–$4,500).

Its first week at the box office? About US$1,000.
Then the internet found it. 📱🔥

Clips of its wonderfully questionable animation went viral. People started going to cinemas just to answer one question:
“Can it really be that bad?” 👀

Apparently, yes.
And somehow that turned a near flop into a box office hit that has now grossed more than US$4 million. 📈🍿

There’s probably a marketing lesson buried in here about authenticity, memes and the internet’s love of imperfection.

But mostly, we are waiting for the first brand brief that says:
“Can we make it feel a little more Niu Lai?” 😂

Xiaohongshu is not just a China platform anymore. It is becoming a local discovery layer in Australia 📱
If your brand only thinks about Google and Instagram, you are probably missing how Chinese consumers actually find restaurants, stores, campuses and experiences around them 👀🛍️☕🏙️

That is the part many marketers still underestimate.

A WeChat content calendar can be full and still say almost nothing 📱😶

That is the trap.

Too many brands translate the global calendar, add a few seasonal posts 🎉 and call it a strategy. But good WeChat content should do something much harder: answer real questions, build trust, prove the brand’s value and make the next step feel obvious 🔍💬✅

Our latest guide looks at how global brands can build a smarter WeChat content strategy in 2026, from localization and search to content pillars and conversion.
