Why Levi’s and other brands are betting big on Chinese podcasts

Levi’s is riding the podcasting wave in China alongside Coach, Lancôme, and Louis Vuitton. Will it succeed?

What happened

On April 25, Levi’s released the first episode of its maiden Chinese-language podcast series titled Speaking with ‘Lee.’ As the denim giant dips its toes into this burgeoning medium in China, it marks a strategic, deeper foray into the hearts, and ears, of Chinese consumers.

Local labels like Neiwai, Maia Active, and Pop Mart have gone down this route.

Levi’s teaser episode, provocatively titled To Be a Vanguard, First Go Crazy, sets the stage for an engaging auditory journey. Hosted by TV presenter Jiang Sida, the series promises an eclectic mix of contributors.

Adding a scholarly dimension to the discourse is cultural luminary Ma Jiahui. Continue to read the full article here
