25、each key player raced to build“Super Apps.”How did this all evolve?In 2008,Alibaba blocked Baidu search crawlers from indexing Taobao(resulting in a shift to Taobao as search engine of choice for ecommerce).Taobao has since become the largest player in advertising,while already being the leader in e
26、commerce revenue.By 2013,Tencent blocked all Tmall links inside WeChat,preventing brands from building audiences in WeChat and converting sales in Tmall.Tencent embedded its own search system(Sogou),again,cutting out Baidu.By 2021,Douyin was fully in the game with its own Super App toolkit,including
27、;a proprietary payment system and standalone ecommerce app to complement its already powerful social app.All other players(RED,Weibo,BiliBili,Baidu)are following similar strategies in building Super Apps which integrate a wide range of functions,with the aim of keeping audience traffic inside their

29、th fewer link blockages,user journeys may become more fluid.Users should be able to jump around app-to-app more easily.It may become more possible to have more specialist uses for apps(eg.Douyin for awareness,Tmall for sales,WeChat for CRM).In turn,this could allow brands to target budgets more to s
30、pecialist uses on each of those channels instead of spending to maintain“full funnel”operations on each platform.Brands who have“direct”audience checkpoints(Mini-Programs/Websites),where data can be gathered,will be in a position to implement more specific tactics per channel.BREAKING DOWN WALLED GA
31、RDENSIMPLICATIONS FOR MARKETERSChinas walled gardens increase the overall cost of marketing.With each large digital platform operating its own full funnel environment in China,brands have to build and maintain multiple funnels.By contrast,the US is much more cost efficient.In the US,brands can conce
32、ntrate search money into Google,social budgets into Facebook and ecommerce into Amazon.Importantly,data from all channels globally can be stitched together,allowing brands more autonomy.To have an effective presence across BATB(not to mention,supporting sites like;RED,BiliBili,Weibo),a brand needs t
33、o have an official account and/or shop on each platform.Within this context a brand is paying multiple rents,to keep each of its accounts flush with traffic.The real beauty of an open system for brands is in having a DTC(direct to consumer)program,where all traffic flows through a brand owned Websit
34、e(or Mini-Program).In the DTC context,the goal of money paid to attain traffic is to then retain and resell to a customer.Over time,the CAC/LTV equation should improve,margins should expand and brands should grow more organically.Mapping of cross-links between BATB and other key channels with each o
