Blog/CDP/Customer Data Platform (CDP) Consulting and Execution: Unlock Customer-Centric Growth in China
Build intelligent customer data platforms in China — integrating analytics, automation, and personalization — to unlock revenue opportunities and optimize marketing efficiency across all touchpoints.
Customer Data Platform is an enterprise-grade software system that collects and integrates customer data from multiple channels in real time, creating a unified, actionable profile for each customer.

Customer data in China is dispersed across various isolated ecosystems — including private traffic domains (WeChat, WeCom) and public platforms (Tmall, JD.com, Douyin, Xiaohongshu) — making unified customer views nearly impossible without a CDP.
CDPs can consolidate data from every interaction — across both known and anonymous users — to generate holistic insights, empowering smarter segmentation and data-driven decision-making.
Nearly 75% of Chinese consumers are dissatisfied with generic push content, yet 45% are willing to share data for personalized offers — more than in other regions. A CDP can enable more targeted, cross-channel engagement and help build lasting customer relationships.
China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) mandates explicit consent, strong data governance, and local storage of 100% of the personal data — making a centralized, locally hosted CDP or CRM system essential for compliance.




Conduct an audit of all relevant online and offline channels (e.g., WeChat and WeCom ecosystem, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, JD.com, Tmall, loyalty programs, websites, retail stores, and more) — tailored to the specific brand and B2C/B2B sector contexts.
