Get your China market entry strategy right

Understand who you should be targeting in China, what it will take to reach them and how you compare against the institutions you compete with

Make confident decisions about China

Whether you’re recruiting from China for the first time or you’re already active and not seeing the results you expected, we’ll equip your team with a plan you can act on to get results.

Audience definition and market analysis

We'll work with you to define the student segments worth pursuing, the cities and regions they come from, what their families value in an institution, and how student mobility trends are shaping interest in your destination.

Competitor benchmarking

Our team will audit your presence against the institutions you compete with. We'll look at search visibility, WeChat and RedNote (XiaoHongShu) presence, content, campaign activity and messaging. You’ll see where they’re strong, where the gaps are, and how you can position yourself to win.

Positioning and messaging for Chinese families

Rankings, employment outcomes, cost, safety, post-study options and the influence of parents all carry different weight in China. We’ll help you work out what genuinely differentiates you and how to communicate it to the market.

Channel plan and roadmap

Which channels to prioritise and the role each one plays, from WeChat and RedNote to search and web, plus the practical requirements, timelines and investment needed to get there.

We wanted to ensure we were speaking to our audience not only in their language… This ability to deliver tailored, relevant information has been crucial in engaging prospective students in China.

We received applications from Chinese students who first learned about UNE through our new website within the first year of launching. That’s much sooner than we would have expected.
