Luan Na always pointed out that we are now on the eve of the outbreak of artificial intelligence, and the only When AI moves from core technology to general technology, AI will truly explode. As far as the current overall situation is concerned, there are still many problems with the current artificial intelligence. The use time of the top foreign large models is only 12 minutes, and the longest average daily use time in China is only 7 minutes. This means that everyone has not really Implementing it at the application level, the application level is not deep enough. Issues such as inaccuracy, copyright infringement and network security remain the most important concerns during the application process.focus. In terms of marketing applications, perhaps only a little more than 30% are actually applied in the marketing field. Artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, and AI applications in marketing and sales are promising, but the actual application scenarios are still in the experimental stage, like a baby, but we know that it will definitely grow. AI has indeed brought us many surprises. Is it good or bad? Actually we don't know. Therefore, in this process, we must always maintain self-discipline and reverence, especially in the advertising industry. Is it false advertising? Is it a deep imitation? Is it a scam? This requires constant reflection by those in our industry. When facing new things, we don’t have to be afraid of their fierceness, and we must always stick to our inner bottom line. Only by having the mentality of walking on thin ice can you move forward steadily.
Zhang Chuan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of W.AWARDS Golden Internet Awards and Senior Vice President of Meituan: "Unlocking New Business Power"
Three major keywords in the business field in 2024: Sinking, going to sea and AI. The sinking market, regarded as the last blue ocean, is gradually transforming into a red ocean. There are significant differences in consumer demands at different city levels. Enterprises need to accurately grasp the cost-effectiveness needs of each level and pay attention to brand and experience. The execution ability of the team is also the key to entering the sinking market. Only by building strong execution ability can we effectively reach and meet the needs of the vast sinking market. When it comes to going overseas, Chinese companies need to integrate local brands with manufacturing capabilities to design the products they need for a wider range of people. Only with an in-depth understanding of the local market can they design products that truly meet local needs. AI is crossing the chasm from supporting jobs to replacing jobs. People who can use AI will gradually defeat those who can't, because AI can greatly improve work efficiency and reduce dependence on manpower. As the AI business model is gradually verified, its commercial value has become increasingly prominent.

At present, Kuaishou has built a large model matrix with the core of the Yiyi language model, the recommendation model, and the video generation model as the core, covering multiple levels of content understanding, distribution, and generation, and has provided these large models with in-depth services to Kuaishou’s business ecosystem scenario. Kuaishou’s large model products mainly focus on the content level. In terms of content creation, there are creative products such as Keling AI, Ketu, and AI Xiaokuai; in terms of content efficiency improvement, there are also efficiency tools such as Nuwa Digital Human, Magnetic Creation, and π Digital Employee.

Weibo Marketing Operations Director Kong Yan: "Focus on Mind and Exploring Growth"
Kong Yan pointed out in his sharing that although the market is full of uncertainty, brands can still gain insights into consumer trends. and changes in the marketing environment to find a way to break through. Changes in consumer psychology have put forward higher requirements for brands. From the trend #canbuyexpensivebutnottooexpensive on Weibo, it became clear that under market changes, consumers no longer blindly pursue high-premium products, but pay more attention to the true value of the brand, product functions and emotional resonance. This return to rationality requires brands to pay more attention to in-depth communication with consumers and convey the brand's core values and differentiated advantages. Looking back at the changes in the marketing environment, we pointed out that from Bigidea to Brand Story, to today's intensified marketing competition, the way brands connect with consumers is also evolving to a more fine-grained level. In the construction of differentiated mind, the synergistic relationship between mind and ROI is emphasized. Brands need to create meaningful differentiation in the minds of users, by establishing exclusive content that is “flesh and blood” that can be discussed, remembered, and agreed upon, and by cooperating with more diversified and efficient channels to achieve the accumulation of brand assets and mental transformation. As an important social media platform, Weibo plays an indispensable role in consumers’ mental journey. Weibo hot searches can not only map current consumer trends and value consensus, but can also trigger chain reactions through social issues and expand brand influence. In order to put the differentiated mind into practice, Mr. Kong Yan proposed two key moments of mental influence: innovation and scene. Launching new products refers to strategic new product launches, which clearly define mental goals and challenges. It is necessary to coordinate brands and products to maximize value delivery, and achieve a connection between users' minds through refined content design combined with multi-touch point communication. Scenes are the key moments when brands and consumers create the first association. Brands need to gain insight into hot scenes and achieve efficient mental penetration by matching associations with different scenes and expanding their footprints. Finally, the core points of brand psychology and differentiated marketing are summarized: Brands need to find a way to maximize the common denominator of interests, break through the shielding of the information cocoon through the mechanism of hot spots, and achieve efficient circle-breaking communication. In today's fragmented communication environment, focusing and becoming the focus are of great significance to brands. It is hoped that in the future, brands can use these mind-grabbing tools and strategies to create meaningful differentiation and achieve long-term development of performance.

Many companies and brands are beginning to explore the use of AITechnology has been used to improve marketing efficiency and effectiveness, and has achieved a series of impressive results. However, despite the emerging opportunities, advanced challenges still need to be solved. From a content perspective, AI faces escalating confrontations in content production and governance. How to ensure that AI-generated content not only meets user needs but also maintains high quality and diversity is a problem that needs to be continuously explored and solved. At the same time, with the continuous development of AI technology, how to effectively govern and supervise the content generated by AI and prevent the spread of false information and harmful content is also an urgent challenge that needs to be solved. For advertisers, they face a long-term dilemma between quality and quantity. On the one hand, they hope to use AI technology to expand advertising coverage and improve advertising effectiveness; on the other hand, they are worried that overreliance on AI technology may lead to the homogeneity of advertising content and user resentment. Therefore, how to find a balance between quality and quantity is an issue that advertisers need to seriously consider. In order to seize the opportunity for corporate growth, Mr. Li Zheng put forward specific marketing strategy suggestions. In terms of short-term actions, companies should clarify the collaborative role of AI technology participation and give full play to AI's core advantages in cost reduction and efficiency improvement. By introducing AI technology to optimize marketing processes, improve marketing efficiency, and reduce marketing costs, we can create more value for enterprises. In terms of mid-term planning, companies should integrate brand characteristics to train exclusive AI agents. By in-depth understanding of the characteristics and needs of the brand, the AI Agent is customized and trained so that it can better interact and communicate with users on behalf of the brand, thereby enhancing brand image and user loyalty. In terms of long-term layout, companies should carry out AI training in a long-term and systematic manner to achieve a high degree of fit between AI and brand strategy. By continuously training and optimizing AI, it can better understand and execute brand strategies, providing strong support for the long-term development of enterprises.

Wang Xu, General Manager of Bilibili Marketing Center: "Content Management Mind Drives High-Quality Growth"
Ms. Wang Xu shared some insights and thoughts on the marketing of Bilibili - in Today, with the diminishing margins of traffic benefits, how to establish a deep mental connection with users through good content to achieve a win-win situation of brand building and business growth. At present, user time is becoming increasingly fragmented and touch points are more dispersed. The amount of information users are exposed to in a day is far greater than in any previous era, which also makes the marketing environment increasingly complex. Therefore, in the past few years, the traffic + content marketing model has become very popular, giving rise to standardized content production plans. However, along with it, "content inertia" has become increasingly serious. For brands, content inertia means homogeneity. ization, brand value is eroding, traffic is greater than sales, and it is difficult to convert; for users, content inertia means fatigue, aesthetic fatigue, and "guangzi" fatigue for the information that advertisers want to convey. At this time, the pain is on both sides, marketing is at a break point, and advertising content is becoming less and less effective. The urgent question before marketers is - how to re-create the mental connection between brand content and consumers? The answer given by Station B is very straightforward - in the content community, focus on the real interests and needs of young people, deeply influence the mind with content, make what the brand wants to say become what users like to see, and achieve both product and effect. Station B has more than 7,000 circles, and each user follows an average of 7 interests and hobbies. Our research with KANTAR shows that users’ consumption preferences will emerge from the content. When making decisions, they will not only be affected by perceptual interests, but also make rational comparisons through multiple content information sources. To this end, we aggregated user interests and needs and condensed the "White Paper on the 15 Characteristic Groups of Bilibili", allowing brands to quickly find their target groups at Bilibili, and at the same time, more quickly match them with corresponding effective communication channels, and take advantage of the opportunity to integrate Groups allow brands to establish themselves in the hearts of consumers. At the same time, Bilibili also provides a full set of solutions to manage the mind with content: first, focusing on the rich content supply of young people’s interest culture to build the cornerstone of mental connection; second, precise and intelligent distribution in multiple scenarios, from APP, PC, OTT, search and other scenarios Help brands accurately reach users; finallyIt is empowered by native components based on the open-loop ecology to help improve conversion efficiency. Taking the release of the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 smart new car and Huawei's nova Flip #新夜夜 #super-scientific evening show as examples, we deeply deconstructed the interests and needs of young car buyers and phone users, cut into the scenes, and responded to the pain points. Volkswagen ID.3 touches the mind of car selection through the "car + Behavior drives conversion intent. Huawei nova Flip teamed up with Station B to create a live scene where fashion and technology collide, focusing on the real life scenarios of young people using their phones throughout the day, in the form of user-favorite content. The entire creative show live broadcast is ranked among the most popular live broadcasts on mobile phones on the site. top1, with over 80 million views on the entire network.
