Episode 13 - Is the China market dead..‪.‬ Insight China

We're tackling a rather provocative statement today: "Is the China market dead?" With insights rooted in the recent exit of TooFaced from the Chinese market and juxtaposed against the staggering $156 billion spent during Singles' Day 2023, this episode dives deep into the complexities of China's economic environment post-COVID. Featuring discussions on major brands like Estee Lauder and KFC, and how they've adapted (or failed to adapt) to the shifting Chinese consumer landscape, the episode sheds light on what really influences success in the Chinese market today.
Join us as we explore the narratives surrounding foreign investment downturns and unveil the real stories behind brand strategies in China. We'll discuss the importance of abandoning established market egos and embracing innovative, localized marketing strategies. The episode also delves into the new consumer protection laws in China, aiming to increase transparency and fairness in online transactions.
