618 is an awaited event for consumers, platforms, and brands, well established as the second biggest shopping festival in China after 11.11 in November.
This year’s festival was even more anticipated. After the lockdown in big cities, it was important for China’s e-commerce key players to take the market’s pulse.

This shift is impacting the platforms’ content innovation and brands’ content strategy, pushing them to go next level.
