THE CHALLENGE

Wherever they are, their media stays Chinese.

Local media barely reaches them. And no single Chinese platform reaches all of them.

THE TWO MOMENTS

Decided at home. Spent in your market.

BEFORE THE TRIP
at home in China

Destinations, brands and products are researched and shortlisted weeks before departure. Peer reviews and creator content decide what makes the list.

What we drive: consideration, bookings, appointments made in advance.
DURING THE TRIP
in your market

They navigate an unfamiliar city and decide where to go and what to buy in the moment.

What we drive: store visits, venue visits, verified purchases.

We buy both moments. Most brands only ever touch one.

THE APPROACH

Start with the audience, not the channel

01

Identify

We build the audience from real behaviour, not assumed demographics: where they are right now, where they have travelled, what they open, what they follow. Travellers who arrived in your market this week are reachable this week.

02

Reach

Media goes into the Chinese apps that audience actually opens, at home while planning and in whichever market they land in. Across 30+ platforms. One partner. One buy. No agency stack to assemble.

03

Measure

Every campaign runs to a business KPI, with creatives tested live and results tracked in real time.

MOST CHINA CAMPAIGNS
01 Pick an app
02 Target with platform tags
03 No way to know who was actually reached.
OPTIX
01 Identify the audience by real behaviour
02 Map that audience to the apps they actually open
03 Serve only the people who fit

“Global brands don't lack access to China. They lack the clarity to navigate it, and the proof that what they spend actually moves the business. Optix was built to close that gap.”
Diagnosis before prescription. We start by understanding the problem, and we'll tell you honestly when the right answer isn't us.
Accountability first. If it can't be tied to a measurable business outcome, we don't run it.
