Tencent Automotive Media Matrix Research

A comparative study to support new-media discussions for FAW Toyota China.

S

Project background

To support FAW Toyota China’s new-media planning, the team needed a view of how domestic and international automotive brands structured channels, content and audience touchpoints.

Goal & role

I completed industry research, information structuring and recommendation inputs for project reporting; I was not the final presenter.

What I did

I studied 10+ EV and traditional automotive brands through account architecture, platform roles, content formats, recent activity, follower and post performance, audience profile, livestreaming, commercialisation and public-private channels. Public channels included Douyin, Video Accounts, WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Kuaishou, Bilibili and Weibo; private channels included websites, apps and mini-programs.

Framework example: comparing a shift from sales-led messaging toward communication and audience participation.

Result & review
