Bridging the Cross-Cultural Gap

Advertisers have unprecedented opportunities to reach their audience in China with literally millions of mobile touch points to exploit. However, the Chinese market requires the highest levels of localization efforts and cultural sensitivity. As a global team with roots in China, Nativex has the cross-cultural fluency required to successfully navigate these challenges and ensure your campaigns are relevant, accurate, and appropriate.

The Fragmented
 Android
 Landscape

Never underestimate the Android opportunity in China. China's Android market is not only massive, but unique too. There are over 400 Android app stores in the market but the top 7 stores account for almost 80% of total Android app revenue, so a "one-size-fits-all" approach won't work there.
