SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach – 24 October 2023 – KAWO, the leading social media management platform in China, announced an expansion of its strategic partnership with Hootsuite, the global leader in social media management, to provide greater access, insights and efficiency for international brands in China.

A strategic market for many international brands, marketers are acutely aware of immense opportunities in China, which has around 1.02 billion social media users, and projections estimate that the number of users will grow to 1.2 billion by 2027. However, global marketers have long struggled with managing their social media presence in China alongside global social media networks.
The partnership will give global marketers easier access to KAWO within Hootsuite and enable them to create, manage and oversee content, obtain and analyse real-time data, and generate insightful reports across all global and China social media networks – a single platform that can manage Facebook, Instagram, Weibo, WeChat and more. Having all social networks within one dashboard enables a seamless and optimised workflow, allowing international brands to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of their social media campaigns in China and apply the learnings towards improving ongoing and future campaigns.
With real-time analysis of data and insights across all markets, marketers can leverage changing trends to create experiences that meaningfully resonate with audiences and drive performance. The unified environment also offers global marketers a holistic view of their campaign performance globally and in China, enabling them to optimise and allocate budgets more accurately.
