Social Media Marketing in China

China has developed a unique, sophisticated ecosystem where each social media network plays its part in creating conversations between brands and consumers. Our data-driven approach to social media marketing in China allows us to achieve early wins for brands through an agile digital approach.

OUR DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO AN INTEGRATED SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

IMS uses data analytics to help brands identify which social channels will help them amplify their marketing message and build a content strategy that drives brand awareness.
