NextportChina is the only digital marketing agency in the Netherlands 100% focused on China. Since 2013, we've helped European B2B companies grow their presence and business in the Chinese market, with full clarity and control from HQ. Think of us as your compass: China's platforms, rules and buyer behavior shift fast, and we keep you oriented so every move you make there is a deliberate one. Our Mandarin-speaking, bicultural team develops culturally adapted strategies and campaigns across China's major platforms: WeChat, Douyin, Baidu and RedNote. From social media management and content creation to influencer marketing and paid advertising, we make sure Chinese buyers can find you, trust you, and reach you, through channels you own and content that builds credibility. To back that up, we built Compass AI, our proprietary China market intelligence tool. It gives you timely visibility into competitor activity, local brand presence, risks and opportunities across Chinese platforms, so your decisions in China are based on trusted sources and data, not guesswork. We work with European B2B companies across AgriTech, High-Tech, Medical, Nutrition, Aviation and GreenTech. With over 200 projects delivered and clients like Danone, Syngenta, ABB and Kekkilä-BVB, we give European companies what they couldn't get before: real grip on how their brand performs in China and proof that it's working. 👉 Exploring the Chinese market?
