Commercial Content Operations

My first role in internet commercialization, providing content strategy support for gaming and pharmaceutical key accounts at ByteDance’s Marketing Center.

Trending Content & Insights

The Douyin Daily Trending Report was the most hands-on practice of this period — tracking trending content on the platform every day, distilling patterns, and turning them into actionable creative direction for clients. Gaming clients needed to understand what kind of video content sparked user interest; pharmaceutical clients had to find ways to connect with audiences without crossing compliance boundaries. Two radically different industries, and the daily exercise of switching between them built a sharp instinct for grasping the content logic of any vertical, fast.

Official Account Methodology

I contributed to the Douyin Official Account Operations Playbook — covering account positioning, content matrix design, and publishing cadence — to create a repeatable playbook that was ultimately distributed across the entire sales team. This helped more brands establish a systematic content presence on Douyin rather than running scattered one-off ads.

KA Strategy & Planning

Developed tailored content strategies for key gaming and pharmaceutical clients, contributing to both cross-industry proposals and custom campaign plans. The core takeaway from this chapter was building a mental framework for commercial content: what makes content interesting? How do trending moments become advertising ideas? How does a brand build a content moat on an emerging platform like Douyin?

In hindsight, the methods were basic. But it was the daily discipline of tracking what resonated — and building an intuition for content and audience from the ground up — that laid the foundation for everything I’d go on to do in commercialization.
