Dear Members and Friends,

More details below:

 

Is your company prepared to make the most out of Chinese social media?

The EU SME Centre and Danish Chamber of Commerce in China are happy to invite you for our next hybrid event on 13 May 2021 from 16:00-17:30 (Beijing time). You are invited to participate either ONLINE (through Zoom) or OFFLINE (in Beijing)

Chances are that you are familiar with WeChat and TikTok (Douyin), but what about other massive players in China, such as Little Red Book, Pinduoduo and Dianping, which may be less known on the outside-China market.

To help share some light on the differences between these platforms, as well as how to make the best out of them, we are invited by Paul McNeill, Managing Partner at Resonance China. Having lived and worked with social media and marketing in China through many years, Paul will give an introductory presentation to help European SMEs better get prepared for the massive potential awaiting in the Chinese markets, by going through successful and less successful cases.

Join us, as we invite for an opportunity to better understand the big platforms in China, which your company should consider, upon entry. 

Links with details on how to participate through Zoom will be shared the day before event date.

Interested in joining? Sign up here.
