Chinese Social Media Marketing

Reach Chinese audiences on the platforms they trust.

WeChat and Rednote run on different rules to Meta and Google. We plan, produce, publish and manage content that works there natively, adapted for culture rather than just translated.

Trusted by these big names

Built for how Chinese audiences discover brands.

The Garden's creative and content team at work

China’s social platforms are a closed ecosystem with their own search, their own influencers, their own formats and their own etiquette. A campaign that performs on Meta doesn’t survive the trip: content needs to be rebuilt for the platform, not re-posted onto it. That’s the work we do. We set up and manage your official WeChat and Rednote presence, plan the content calendar, adapt every message for culture as well as language, and stay in the comments, where trust is actually won. The services below are where most engagements start.

Inside The Garden's Melbourne studio

For Chinese-speaking audiences, the research behind a big decision happens on WeChat and Rednote long before anyone fills in an enquiry form. Property, travel, healthcare, study: if the choice is significant, the platforms are where options get compared, recommendations get weighed and shortlists get made. Brands that only publish on Western channels are invisible for most of that journey. We build a presence that earns trust where the deliberation actually happens. Education is where we have done the deepest work, helping universities, TAFEs and language programs reach students and parents with content that is compliant as well as culturally fluent.

Frequently asked questions

Which Chinese social media platforms matter for Australian brands?

For most brands it comes down to two: WeChat and Rednote (Xiaohongshu). WeChat is the ecosystem, covering messaging, official brand accounts and payments. Rednote is where discovery happens, especially for younger audiences researching lifestyle, travel and study decisions.

Do we need Mandarin speakers in-house to run these channels?

No. Account setup, content planning, translation, cultural adaptation and community management are all covered in the engagement, so your team works in English and your audience never notices.

How is marketing on WeChat different from Meta or Google?

It’s a closed ecosystem. Search, discovery and sharing all happen inside the platform, official accounts need verification, and content formats don’t carry over. Campaigns are built natively rather than adapted from Western creative.

Can Chinese social media help with student recruitment?

Yes, and it’s where the channel earns its keep. Prospective students and their parents research Australian study options on Chinese platforms first, so a compliant, well-run presence reaches them mid-decision.

What is KOL marketing?

KOLs are key opinion leaders, China’s equivalent of influencer tiers. We identify partners whose audience matches yours and manage the collaboration, from briefing through to compliance and performance review.
