Speaking at the Forum, Feng Wang, Editor-in-Chief at FT China, said that international media has characteristics and a system that is very different from China's and that "the efforts of Chinese enterprises that are focused on the dissemination of information abroad should be based on basic facts." He added, "China's technology companies are better at media communication than others."
Arun Sudhaman, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of the Holmes Report pointed out that "Asian companies should focus on their growth narratives, be more open and transparent in communications with international media. They will be more effective if they can more clearly articulate their social purpose in addition to highlighting the innovative products and technologies that they are creating."
"With the growing challenges that the advertising industry faces, and the changing behavior of audiences, earned media is ever-more vital to any successful marketing strategy," said Yujie Chen, Senior Vice President, PR Newswire APAC "There is also a rapidly-growing stream of media intelligence and customer data that marketers can take advantage to better target their messages and target their impact."
