China Ready 2022 Series Session #3: Marketing Your Brand Successfully in China
October 5, 2022
In this session we covered what Canadian companies need to consider in order to market their brand in the Chinese market successfully. Marketing tools in China have their own ecosystem and companies need to tailor their marketing strategies to fully take advantage of the unique opportunities in China. Attendees learned how offline and online marketing is used and if your business should partner with key opinion leaders (KOLs), and explored different brand strategies that can set your organization apart.
