KOL Influencer Marketing​

Chinese Social Media Influencer (KOL & KOC) Marketing Service

We help overseas hotels, restaurants, and attractions increase visibility on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) by working with local Chinese KOLs and KOCs who already have trust within Chinese traveller and expat communities.

We match your venue with relevant creators based on audience and content fit. Each influencer visits your location in person to create authentic photo or video content that feels natural and credible to Chinese users.

All content is published on Xiaohongshu helping your brand gain long-term search visibility and continuous exposure through travel and location-based discovery.

Why Use Chinese Influencer Marketing

Authentic Local Recommendations

Chinese travellers rely heavily on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) and influencer content when researching hotels, restaurants and attractions. Real experiences shared by local Chinese creators help build trust and increase the likelihood of users visiting your venue.

Long-Term Search Visibility

Unlike traditional advertisements that stop generating traffic once a campaign ends, Xiaohongshu posts remain searchable through location, travel and lifestyle keywords. This helps your business continue attracting Chinese consumers long after the content is published.

Direct Access to Chinese Audiences

Our KOLs and KOCs have established follower communities made up of Chinese tourists, overseas students and local Chinese residents. Your venue gains immediate exposure to highly targeted audiences already interested in travel, dining and local experiences.

Fast On-Site KOL Visits in as Fast as 3 Days

50
Days

We can arrange local Chinese KOL and KOC visits to your business within as fast as 3 days in major travel destinations popular with Chinese tourists, including Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Paris, London, Tokyo, and New York. Our verified creators are already based in these cities, allowing fast matching and on-site scheduling without delays.

Each creator visits your venue in person to produce authentic Xiaohongshu (RedNote) or Douyin content, helping you gain fast exposure among Chinese travellers searching for hotels, restaurants, and attractions nearby.

Our 6-step KOL process

Step 1. Campaign Package Selection

Step 2. Creator Shortlist & Selection

All content is published on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) within 7 days after the on-site visit. Posts are structured with local travel and search keywords to maximise visibility and ensure long-term discoverability across Chinese travel search traffic.
