I help international companies, creators, and technology brands enter, localize, and grow in China. From market entry and localization to content, AI visibility, and audience growth, I help overseas organizations navigate the realities of the Chinese market and turn strategy into execution. With more than 15 years of experience in digital marketing, brand strategy, localization, and cross-border business development, I have worked with startups, global brands, software companies, content creators, and international organizations seeking to build visibility and business opportunities in China. What makes my work different is that I do not stop at strategy. I help clients translate plans into real-world execution by building workflows, coordinating local resources, selecting partners, and ensuring projects work effectively on the ground. My expertise includes: • China Market Entry & Growth Strategy Market research, go-to-market planning, localization strategy, channel development, partner sourcing, distributor research, and practical support for companies entering the Chinese market. • Chinese Digital Marketing & Social Media WeChat, Xiaohongshu (RedNote), Douyin, Bilibili, Baidu, content localization, influencer collaboration, community growth, social media strategy, and audience development. • AI Visibility & GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) Helping companies understand and adapt to AI-driven discovery systems, including AI search visibility, GEO strategy, content positioning, AI-native marketing, and localization for Chinese users. • Localization & Cross-Cultural Communication Bridging international teams and Chinese markets through bilingual content, local project coordination, stakeholder communication, and operational support. Before becoming an independent consultant, I held senior strategy and digital marketing roles, including leadership positions within Publicis Groupe's Digitas network. Throughout my career, I have supported more than 150 brands across technology, software, education, consumer products, entertainment, and international business sectors. My experience includes: • Helping international software and technology companies expand into China • Managing China-focused digital marketing and localization projects • Supporting overseas creators and media brands with audience growth in China • Coordinating cross-border business development, partnerships, and market research • Advising companies on AI visibility, content strategy, and emerging AI-driven discovery trends I am particularly interested in working with: • AI and technology companies • International brands entering China • SaaS and software businesses • Content creators and media organizations • Education, professional services, and cross-border businesses If you need someone who understands both international business and the realities of operating inside the Chinese market, I would be happy to help.
