40 years have passed since the beginning of China’s reform and opening-up. In that time, Chinese entrepreneurs have built a plethora of world-renowned companies, creating a Chinese miracle in the history of global business. With the wave of globalisation sweeping across the world over the past decade, technological progress and industrial upgrading have gathered momentum. In response to the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese companies have made a strong showing in the global competitive arena. Meanwhile, as China’s economy slows down, those companies are being forced to transform, upgrade, and improve their global competitiveness in an overwhelming and dynamic environment. 

Looking ahead to the next decade, how will Chinese companies create strong local brands by focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship, instead of merely being efficiency-driven? How will well-established overseas brands tune into the concerns of younger Chinese consumers and adapt and change to win their hearts? In the era of mobile internet and smart business, how will Chinese and overseas brands leverage value-connection with their customers and engage them in content creation?

The transformation of the Chinese market and companies is a double-edged sword: it brings with it considerable uncertainty, but it also provides an immense impetus to and exhilarating new possibilities for brand building. Building a strong brand by embracing the trends necessitates a deep and rational rethink of an organisation from the inside out (i.e., from its supply chain to its customers and markets) and from top to bottom (i.e., from its organisational structure to its incentive system). The organisation must have the boldness and confidence to do so. More importantly, it needs to have the resources and capabilities to make a difference. At this forum, participants from both China and abroad will explore how to build a strong brand by embracing the trends from these perspectives.

Session I: Market Restructuring and Value Connection

As millennials are growing into adulthood in 2019, their demand for customized, intelligent and niche products in increasingly segmented markets are upending public notions of aesthetics and mainstream brands. Mainstream consumers are giving way to completely new and younger faces, who will break traditional rules that have been followed for years in the market. Smart technologies will play a pivotal role in reshaping the entire brand market.

Overseas established brands need to adapt and change to follow the trends and meet the changing needs of younger generation consumers; otherwise, they will be hard-pressed to achieve sustained success in the Chinese market in the next 40 years. The same is true with Chinese local brands, which are required to seize the immediate opportunity to outdo their overseas counterparts by focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship instead of merely being efficiency-driven to nurture unique brand spirit and meaning.

Session II: Following the Megatrend: Paths to Transformation and Action Plan

The vitality of a brand depends on whether it can engage consumers in the whole process of brand building from production to sales and from the supply chain to value creation. The key lies in providing consumers with personalized experience and frequently interacting with them to build value connection and facilitate content co-creation. Media, intelligent or traditional, virtual or physical, serve only as an avenue to reaching and connecting consumers. What matters is how we select media based on affective user preference. What should be the first step for brand transformation? How can we leverage media resources? How should we select media based on different stages of business development by looking into the appropriate data about corporate business needs and consumer demand?
