Brands need to show that they appreciate Chinese culture and aesthetics by using appropriate colours, symbols, art styles and imagery, while also conveying a festive tone. Brands could work with a local Chinese creative team or artist to come up with culturally relevant and aesthetically pleasing designs that will resonate with Chinese consumers.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Although many Chinese New Year advertising campaigns include moving campaigns or videos that engage the viewers\u2019 emotions, it is important to note that CNY campaigns should generally not be overly serious or sad. The festival is a time of celebration, humour, family and reunion, and any emotions brought up through the campaigns should relate to these elements and can demonstrate that the brand is attentive to and understands its Chinese consumers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/5-ways-luxury-brands-can-impress-chinese-consumers\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9\"><style> .u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9:active, .u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9 .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u52eddd7cf75fdafdd794af8ab8d3fab9:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">From Cartier to Gucci: 5 luxury brands that nailed their China marketing\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">Brands sometimes choose to use humour and puns in their CNY campaigns. When done appropriately, such as ensuring that any jokes used are not culturally insensitive, these types of campaigns can gain huge interest from consumers, especially among younger ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">With the increase in the popularity of video, releasing engaging video content that emphasises the values and traditions of the festival could elevate the brand campaign further, especially if shared on social media.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Encourage user-generated content through your CNY campaigns to increase word-of-mouth marketing, which is extremely powerful when it comes to brand awareness. Examples include creating challenges on <a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/what-is-tiktok-who-owns-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Douyin<\/a> to encourage participation from users, or encouraging responses to questions or prompts, and providing prizes for the best responses.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Use a variety of media platforms to promote your campaign, ensuring that touch points exist across any channels that are relevant to your brand, such as WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Weibo, Kuaishou, Bilibili, etc. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">As competition among both foreign and domestic brands continues to increase, brands will need to develop unique campaigns for CNY that can differentiate themselves from the crowd and ideally engage consumers\u2019 emotions and encourage healthy interaction. For foreign brands, the creation of a culturally relevant campaign that does not overstep but is still able to resonate with Chinese consumers will be a careful balancing act that could bring massive positive attention.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/lp-cta-membership2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7249 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2.png\" alt=\"Launchpad membership 2\" width=\"4680\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2.png 4680w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-1024x172.png 1024w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-768x129.png 768w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-1536x258.png 1536w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-2048x344.png 2048w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-1920x322.png 1920w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-1170x197.png 1170w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership2-585x98.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4680px) 100vw, 4680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>A version of this article first appeared in\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">China market-focused magazine,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/redferndigital.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/The-Red-Edition-Special-Issue-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The RED Edition \u2013 Special Issue 2021<\/a>, published by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/redferndigital.cn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RedFern Digital<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Nike and Coca Cola, to Gucci x Doraemon, these are the brands that ran thoughtful Chinese New Year marketing campaigns in 2021 \u2013 and how you can learn from them going into the Year of the Tiger: Sandra Weiss from RedFern Digital explains how to develop a successful CNY marketing campaign &#8230; As one of the most celebrated events in China and a festival often associated with gifting and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":9274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[340,2173,293,2427,2174],"class_list":["post-9271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-consumer","tag-branding","tag-chinese-new-year","tag-marketing","tag-paywall","tag-spring-festival"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
