Tencent is another media giant in China, incorporating into its range of offerings the mobile app – WeChat. More than 80% of China social traffic comes from Tencent, with 800 million daily active users through Tencent platforms such as QQ, Qzone, WeChat, ads network, QQ browser and YingYongBao. What does it offer to advertisers? Well, like FenSiTong, it is a fantastic way to target specific audiences. The big data which is churned out by the Tencent platform facilitates filtering based on user behaviour and purchasing patterns, meaning your ad gets in front of the people you want it to.
