Context
Over the past decade, "Made in China" has been turning into "brands from China." More and more Chinese companies are building sustainable brand equity overseas, and communities are where a brand earns the trust of real users. People discuss products, share experiences, and shape each other's decisions there in ways no ad campaign can replace.
I joined a full-service marketing agency serving leading Chinese consumer-technology brands expanding globally. My account-operations team was the foundation of that work: we built, ran, and kept healthy the community content assets behind every campaign. It was my first look at the whole chain, from a brand's overseas goals to community content on the ground, and user feedback flowing back into strategy.
What I did
My work ran across content strategy, audience operations, and data. I ran community entry strategies for brand projects, studying each community's rules, tone, and sentiment before designing an account's positioning and content approach. At peak I managed 18 account onboarding cycles in parallel and kept every project on schedule.
Beyond client projects, I maintained a content matrix spanning 15+ vertical communities, from consumer tech and smart home to gaming, finance, food & drink, parenting, mental health, and careers. Each community has its own rules and preferences: finance wants precision, lifestyle wants warmth, parenting wants genuine empathy. The core skill is not writing English; it's speaking the way each audience speaks.
How I worked
I treated every community as its own audience. Before writing anything, I read the subreddit's rules and the posts already doing well, so my content added to the conversation instead of cluttering it. I wrote native English for US-based audiences and kept adjusting it: reading user sentiment, following discussion trends, and managing the safety boundaries of brand mentions, staying brand-friendly without inviting negative engagement. When the platform's rules or algorithm shifted, I adapted the content and the timing.
Data
I kept a data record for everything I published: impressions, upvotes, comments, upvote ratio, and audience geography. I also completed asset audits for 5 representative accounts, covering positioning, content structure, and top-performing posts. Those numbers became a verifiable way to evaluate my work, and they taught me to let data, not instinct, decide what to publish next.
Building tools
Repetition pushed me to build. I built an AI-assisted content workflow covering ideation, drafting, and quality checks that cut drafting time by roughly 40%, while baking in checks for naturalness, factual grounding, and brand boundaries. I presented the workflow's design and usage to company leadership and the AI engineering team, and the optimization was approved and is now being piloted. I also put together a daily work-summary dashboard that turned real content-performance data into something measurable.

Community
The work spans broad-interest and vertical communities. I adapted research, content, and interaction to each subreddit's rules and audience language, and took part in the early setup of an official brand community from zero.
