FMCG Marketing Case Study
YELLOW TAIL CAMPAIGN
Yellow Tail is an Australian wine brand known for approachable, everyday wines and broad global distribution. To support its growth in China, our team helped the brand build a stronger owned presence and shape how consumers encounter their products and content online.
The goal was to keep channels active, improve search visibility, and create a steadier flow of brand-led engagements across key Chinese platforms.
The Challenge
The brand has substantial brand awareness in China, but little control over its digital presence. Most online mentions were user-generated, and Yellow Tail lacked official channels to publish consistent messaging, answer questions, or guide shoppers toward purchase. That gap also limited the ability to correct misleading content or dilute negative commentary in search results.
They needed credible owned marketing channels and stronger local reputation signals on the digital spaces where Chinese consumers research, compare, and discuss wine brands every day in real time.
Our Solutions
Yellow Tail’s FMCG marketing strategy in China combined Baidu content optimization with active WeChat and Weibo management to strengthen search credibility, grow social audiences, and expand reach through KOL collaboration.
WeChat Content Creation & Publishing
- Built Yellow Tail’s official WeChat presence by introducing the brand story, wine varieties, and lifestyle positioning.
- Published visually engaging and educational posts tailored to urban wine drinkers.
Weibo Content Creation & Publishing
