Tencent Advertising / Tencent Marketing Solutions (腾讯广告) covers WeChat, QQ, and Tencent ecosystem traffic for app install campaigns, user acquisition, and performance advertising in mainland China.
China context: Primary Tencent-ecosystem route for paid app install and performance campaigns — especially strong in gaming and social apps. Distinct from Tencent Ads (优量汇), which is the publisher monetization network.
Ocean Engine (巨量引擎) is ByteDance's advertising platform for mobile user acquisition, performance marketing, and app growth campaigns through Douyin and Toutiao ecosystems in mainland China.
China context: Default ByteDance advertiser stack for mainland China app installs, gaming UA, and conversion optimization through Douyin and Toutiao. Distinct from Pangle (穿山甲), which is ByteDance's publisher monetization network.
Kuaishou Ads / Kuaishou Marketing Platform (快手磁力引擎) provides performance advertising for mobile app promotion, user acquisition, and conversion optimization through Kuaishou's short-video ecosystem.
China context: Strong for lower-tier city and short-video conversion campaigns via 快手磁力引擎. Distinct from Kuaishou Union (快手联盟), which is the publisher monetization network.
Baidu Marketing (百度营销) provides search, feed, and app-promotion advertising products for mainland China advertisers.
China context: Strong when search intent and Baidu ecosystem placements matter for mainland acquisition. Complements social/short-video networks rather than replacing them alone.
Huawei Ads (鲸鸿动能 / Petal Ads) provides Huawei-ecosystem advertising for app promotion and publisher monetization across AppGallery and related inventory.
China context: Important for Huawei / HarmonyOS and AppGallery reach. Covers both advertiser acquisition and publisher monetization (鲸鸿动能), so it also appears under Ad Monetization & Mediation.
