Livestreaming has become a popular marketing tool in China, as consumers tend to shop online for most product categories. For European SMEs, understanding how livestreaming works in China is essential to assessing its potential as part of a wider marketing strategy.

On 6 November, we invite you to explore China’s livestreaming landscape, from the platforms and costs involved to the role of key opinion leaders (KOLs) and key opinion consumers (KOCs). The event will also examine the differences between livestreaming in China and livestreaming in Europe, the advertising regulations and legal considerations businesses need to know. Participants will gain practical insights to help them assess whether livestreaming is the right approach for their business in China.
