Breaking into China is not just about entering a new market—it’s about entering a new mindset. With a fast-evolving media ecosystem, uniquely local platforms, and highly responsive consumers, navigating public relations here takes deep experience, strong local networks, and seamless execution. This is where China Business Agency delivers unmatched value.
Why PR in China Is Not Just PR
Public relations in China goes far beyond media lists and press releases. It’s a multilayered strategy that includes:
- Traditional media exposure, such as features in Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily, China Daily, CCTV.com, NetEase, Sina, Tencent News, Phoenix New Media (iFeng), and Sohu.
- Social media-driven storytelling on platforms like WeChat Official Accounts, Rednote (Xiaohongshu), Douyin (China’s TikTok), Weibo, Zhihu, and Bilibili.
- KOL and celebrity engagement through carefully selected voices aligned with your brand values.
- On-ground event management, including press conferences, exhibitions, and product launches.
- Reputation management and crisis response, tailored for a high-speed digital environment.
In short: PR in China requires integrated thinking across media, technology, and culture.
