1. The Advantages of Tencent Music Marketing in the Chinese Market
In China, music, as a medium transcending age and geography, provides brands with powerful and far-reaching emotional value. TME’s music marketing stands out for its high engagement, emotional depth, memorability, and variety.
For example, Sprite, through four years of deep collaboration with TME, created various music scene combinations such as brand albums, campus music competitions, and summer music festivals, effectively engaging with different audiences.
2. Tencent Marketing Case: OPPO FIND X7
In the first quarter of 2023, OPPO chose TME to help its new smartphone, FIND X7, stand out in the market. In the product preheating stage, OPPO conveyed the brand spirit by releasing the MV “Wide Sky” on TME’s music platform and organized a karaoke contest named after this MV. These activities not only conveyed the product concept but also significantly increased the market attention to the product.
Moreover, OPPO utilized the phone’s core selling points (satellite communication and ultra-clear zoom function) for marketing.
Tencent’s QQ Music hosted a large concert, inviting the well-known Chinese singer Su Xing to showcase these features.
Such as remotely connecting with fans in Xinjiang to sing “Rising Land” and using the phone to take performance photos, vividly demonstrating the product’s zoom photography function.
3. Tencent Marketing Case: Pepsi Cola
In May 2023, Pepsi Cola sponsored the online replay of two TME concerts by the renowned Chinese singer Jay Chou. As the exclusive naming sponsor, Pepsi-Cola’s brand exposure was consistent throughout. Pepsi Cola completed its brand promotion through ad inserts, brand logos, live gifts, and e-commerce entry jumps.
This event benefited from Jay Chou’s large fan base and the full-network promotion of Video Number and TME. It was the pre-event hype or various stages during the live performance, which were very smooth and mature.
Official data shows that before the first concert aired, the number of reservations exceeded 15 million across the network. The total viewership of the two concerts exceeded 100 million, according to statistics, setting a record for the highest online concert viewership. This brought Pepsi Cola objective brand exposure and profits.
