My guest for this episode engages with what is arguably now the largest consumer market in the world—China. Golden Huang is the client manager for The Silk Initiative, an Asia-based food and beverage (F&B) brand consultancy headquartered in Shanghai. Golden has been conducting market research in China for over a decade with a deep knowledge of Chinese youth culture. If you have an interest in the Chinese consumer market, this episode is must-listen for you.
In our conversation, Golden and I discuss:
02:30 The definition of Semiotics and how he uses it
07:30 Marketing to the youth culture in China
10:30 Advice for Western brands wanting to enter the Chinese market
12:30 Three emerging food and beverage trends in China
14:30 Why Pink Diamond ice cream is a hit with Chinese youth
