b2 socials – Socials Media Services for Entertainment Industry

b2 SOCIALS IS A LEADER IN PROVIDING CHINESE SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES TO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

We work with musicians, talent management firms, agents and record labels from around the world, providing a robust range of services.

We focus on the twin goals of building & energising a Chinese fan base and monetising the artist’s social media platforms.

Whether a DJ, band, solo singer, rap star or music label, we provide the bridge to activate and engage with Chinese fans.

We also represent top athletes, actors, models and business leaders.

Why Chinese social media?

In the Chinese entertainment business, a comprehensive social media strategy is crucial for maximising success.

With over 800 million netizens, an actively managed, well-executed social media strategy is not optional; it’s essential.

China has its own set of social media platforms.

Rather than Instagram and Facebook, artists interact with fans through homegrown services such as Weibo, WeChat, NetEase Cloud Music and QQ Music.

Celebrities in China have highly engaged fan bases — 20, 30 or 40 million followers is not unusual for major stars.

With these followings, the artist has an incredible ability to interact with fans, reward & energise the base, and drive revenue from the accounts.

For Western artists (and acts from other Asian countries), the opportunity is sizeable. However, a dedicated local partner is needed to navigate the local platforms, react to the nuances of the market, and manage the fan base on a daily basis.

Why b2?

Simply put, we have the most experience.

We’ve dedicated years to this business, representing dozens of major international artists — setting strategy, managing accounts and executing campaigns.

It’s not as simple as daily postings.

It’s understanding the market, the fans and the artist’s goals….and being able to leverage the full range of opportunities available.

b2 is proud of our track record as a leader in this sector.

Also, as a division of b2 Holdings, our clients are able to leverage our other music assets and platforms, creating additional exposure in the Asian markets. Please see www.b2talentasia.c om

Case Study I

Artist Accounts and monetisation

We launched the China accounts for a major Western pop star, steadily growing the follower-base on a monthly basis. Once critical mass was reached, we were able to successfully book the artist on a number of Chinese award shows, generating significant revenue.

Case Study II

Track & Album Release Promotions

Upon the release of a major cross-border collaboration track by a top US DJ, we launched an intense social media awareness campaign. The campaign was a massive success, driving more than 4.8 million views and over 9k engagements and generating awareness and enthusiasm for the song.

Case Study III

Pre-Tour Campaigns

In the six-week period before a major rock band’s 7-city China tour, we worked with the band’s US agency and the artist to provide an intense social media campaign to create tour buzz and excitement around the tour. Through a series of targeted posts, exclusive content from the artists, ticket giveaways and other promotions, we successfully energised the fan base, generating over 5 million impressions and 27k engagements and helped drive ticket sales for the tour.

Case Study IV

Record Label account management

By launching and managing the Chinese social media accounts for a major western record label, we managed to significantly enhance brand awareness for the label itself. Within the first 6 months, the follower base of the label’s account has expanded by 30% and the average engagement has increased by 500%. Followers have come to trust the label, through these accounts, as a curator of quality music. Additionally, these social media accounts have served as a platform to announce and amplify releases from the label’s artists.

Our head office is located at:
