Social Media/Digital Marketing
Due to the Chinese government effectively blocking all the major Western social sites (Facebook, Twitter,...), it is imperative to build your social media presence through the main Chinese social media sites. This now involves real ID verification as well Chinese language communication. Supported by a fully-bilingual Chinese staff, we've built active social media profiles for MusicDish*China, reaching nearly 7,500 followers, as well as our artists on:

- microblog/weibo sites: Sohu, Sina, QQ,..
- music/blog sites: Douban, IndieVox, AliveNotDead,...
- video sites: Tudou, Youku, Ku6,...
We regularly conduct social media promotions and contests in partnership with portals such as Mogo, Sohu and Ku6 as well as event promoters.

Live Music & Events
MusicDish believes that live performance provides the best opportunity for Western acts to build their brand in China, and our partnerships give us a particular edge in delivering. Since 2010, we've been partnered with MIDI Festival, the biggest and longest-running rock festival in China. We've also worked with other major festivals such as Jue (2012), JZ Shanghai (2011-2012), INTRO (2010),... These partnerships are reinforced by collaborating with event promoters such as Trash A GoGo and UndergroundHK.

Digital Distribution
MusicDish has partnered with a-Peer Synergy, a content aggregator and service provider that offers a "One Stop" solution for distributing and selling digital music and visual media in the Greater China market
