In this report Roland Berger using their unique RB Profiler tool, analyzed data gathered from over 12,000 interviews and then proceeded to identify eight consumer archetypes for China: the traditionalist, the modern performer, the minimalist, the hedonist, the conformist, the progressive maximalist, the traditional maximalist and the self-centered type.

This May it’s been a online marketing free-for-all! Firstly, we watched as Intel in cooperation with Baidu placed a text advertisement on Baidu’s front page, resulting in Intel’s site to temporarily go offline due to the massive numbers of visitors! Secondly, we look into the popularity of Nokia’s two new viral videos and showed how China’s first multi-channel user interactive mini-series titled “What is An looking for?” (安与安寻) has become a campaign that all the fashion related brands want to participate in.

I recently interviewed Magdalena Wszelaki, Regional Vice President for Agenda for my Interactive China series on iTV Asia. I’ve known Mag since 2005 when she first arrived in China to work on what came to be award winning campaigns for Pepsi Creative Challenge. She’s been the driver of many a cool campaign/platform since then, including great stuff with Johnson Baby. In the interview, I pick her brain on the development of IWOM in China since that time as well as ideas for the future.
