“Social media in China, the world’s largest, digitally-savvy consumer market, is changing at warp speed. With it come new and innovative ways for companies to communicate with their users about their products and services. And the difference between those who know how to do digital marketing right in China and those who don’t can be huge. Ashley’s book is a great read on this topic and it shows how to do digital marketing on social media in China right.” – Edward Tse, Founder and CEO of Gao Feng Advisory Company, and author of China's Disruptors

Merely projecting Western e-marketing onto the Chinese markets and platforms is unlikely to work; Dudarenok explains in readable detail why not and what to do about it.” – Peter Gordon, Editor of Asian Review of Books

“With the convergence of consumerism, social media and mobile payments in China, the time is right for this book. Dudarenok gives both nuanced insights and practical recommendations for companies seeking success in penetrating this complex market.
