China brands have lots of work to do - Tom Doctoroff

DoctoroffThe names of some China brands might slowly get recognized is some markets, but there is still a lot of work to be done before they might get appreciated as brands, tells marketing guru Tom Doctoroff in the China Daily. 

The China Daily:
Tom Doctoroff, the Shanghai-based North China head at advertising firm JWT, said that despite an increasing overseas presence, Chinese enterprises still have a lot of work to do on their global branding and image. 
"The key question is this: When will Chinese brands move from just being recognized for their scale and stature, to those admired for their innovation and reputation, enjoying a loyal, long-term customer base?" 
He said that Chinese brands currently thrive on price and value and not for being "perceived as offering superiority, or for a specific attribute or benefit".

China's internet companies, like Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu, are one industry trying to go global.
