We help UAE consumer brands get discovered on Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and WeChat - the platforms where Chinese tourists, residents, and online shoppers actually search, save, and decide.
They use Xiaohongshu to discover new brands, Douyin to see products in action, and WeChat to share recommendations with friends.Most UAE brands have zero presence on any of these platforms - which means they're invisible to one of the most active, high-spending consumer groups in the region.

I noticed something most UAE brands haven't caught up to yet: their Chinese customers aren't finding them on Instagram or Google. They're discovering places, products, and brands on Xiaohongshu and Douyin. And most UAE brands are completely invisible there. That's the gap I built Red Thread Co. to close.
I work mainly with UAE consumer brands - fashion, beauty, lifestyle, F&B, and retail. That focus matters, because the way you build trust with a Chinese consumer on Xiaohongshu is completely different to how you would on typical western platforms.
The larger agencies in this space -and there are a few - are built for real estate developers, hotel groups, and enterprise brands. Their minimum spend is high, their teams rotate, and consumer brands get treated as small accounts. Red Thread Co. exists for a different client: the UAE consumer brand that is serious about the Chinese market but wants a real working relationship, not an account number.
