About Xuenan

I help European brands and universities enter the Chinese market through localised digital strategy, performance marketing, and cross-cultural positioning.

With hands-on experience in cross-border projects between Europe and China, I support clients across the full market entry journey — from market research and go-to-market strategy to campaign execution on Chinese digital platforms.

My work includes social media strategy, performance advertising (DSP), content localisation, influencer collaborations, and lead-generation campaigns tailored to Chinese consumer behaviour. I also support Chinese and international brands with localisation strategies for European markets, ensuring cultural relevance and sustainable growth.

I have worked with European brands and higher-education institutions, delivering measurable results in student recruitment, brand awareness, and conversion performance.
