This video is made by Dr. Pearl Lin and Dr. Clare Fung's project, "Great Case of Marketing in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry." A special thanks to Chen Hao, who provided information and insights for this video. This case discusses the marketing strategy of Lyf, a co-living apartment brand, using talk show events to engage with its target audience of young, educated consumers in China. The key aspects of the strategy include using the relatable and entertaining format of talk shows to build brand awareness and community, developing communication channels like social media and event activities to drive participation and conversion, and continuously refining the event format and themes to maintain audience interest. While the strategy has yielded positive outcomes in building brand recognition and acquiring new members, the case also highlights the challenges of sustaining the appeal of such events and effectively integrating online and offline engagement. Overall, the case demonstrates how Lyf has leveraged the popularity of talk shows among its target demographic to forge deeper connections with potential customers.
