QINGDAO, China, July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

As the first major tournament after the pandemic, EURO 2020 has attracted great 
excitement. As the Official Sponsor, Hisense appeared together with subsidiary 
brands. "If the sponsorship of EURO 2016 is the preliminary global presence, 
EURO 2020 must be the commencement of Hisense's various brands and products 
globalization," said Jia Shaoqian, President of Hisense Group Holdings Co., 
Ltd. 
Sports marketing has become Hisense's strategic choice, and the key to 
elevating worldwide recognition, improving top-tier product recognition and 
driving sales. This ultimately fulfils the "overseas market contributes to the 
majority of Hisense revenue" strategic goal. Through sports marketing and 
continuous strengthening of the globally integrated marketing capabilities, 
Hisense consolidates the global presence and recognition.

Globalization strategy is a necessary choice
Having a formidable integrated market competence and a highly recognized market 
reputation are severe requirements to become a top sponsor. Hisense's 
sponsorship revealed brand capacity and excellent reputation gained by sports 
marketing.
Hisense has built 16 R&D centres and 17 production bases, established 54 
companies and offices worldwide, keeps expanding global sales and industrial 
layout since the initial phase of globalization strategy. Furthermore, through 
charity and sports marketing, it drives visibility for Hisense and achieves 
universal trust and esteem globally.
By 2020, Hisense's owned brand revenue accounts for 78% of international 
marketing revenue. "After 30 years, Hisense is a successful multinational 
enterprise and a reputable international brand," said Jia Shaoqian. "To become 
a globalization enterprise, comprehensive internationalization of product 
development, manufacturing, branding and marketing are key tactics." As Hisense 
Chairman Zhou Houjian persists, strengthening the international marketing 
system, establishing a self-owned brand is Hisense's unswerving development 
path.

Worldwide integrated marketing capability to accelerate globalization
"Having a comprehensive global marketing system and meticulous operational 
plans is the path to successfully driving enterprise globalization. The 
globalization of Hisense has been expedited through the accumulation of 
experience and efforts in five aspects," said Zhu Dan, President of Hisense 
International Co., Ltd.

- Hisense launched a range of marketing campaigns in Europe to maximize the 
sponsorship benefit: showcasing Hisense's exclusive brand exposure at Festival 
Towers in Europe; launched "Trophy Tour"; driving traffic through Twitter 
giveaway campaigns and increased e-commerce sales. Through variety of 
campaigns, brand's influence was successfully increased.

production to ensure product quality.

centre, offshore bases and partner with local merchandising platforms, Hisense 
enhances the guarantee of cross-border transportation orders and on-time 
distribution rates of e-orders, ensuring consumers experience adequately.

and sales to assure products' qualification and meeting consumers' needs.
- The utilization of talents: Hisense believes that the foundation of 
technological innovation is the concentration and development of talents. 
Hisense has employed many advanced global talents in chip design, A.I and other 
areas to enhance technology and quality.

Sports marketing aided product sales
Continuous dedication in sports marketing successfully boosts enterprise 
presence but also leads to better sales.
In comparison with EURO 2016, Hisense focuses more on product sales and 
marketing in EURO 2020. Benefiting from the sponsorship, from January to June 
2021, Hisense's laser TVs overseas sales rose by more than 10 times YOY. "Large 
screen, Ultra-HD, Perfect quality and World-class sound" are Laser TV's 
remarkable features and reasons of choice.
Pang Jing, general manager of Hisense's international marketing department, 
said, "Benefiting from the sponsorship experience in EURO 2016 and FIFA World 
Cup 2018, Hisense is more proficient and efficient in EURO 2020. By 
establishing more overseas corporates and comprehensive supply chain system, 
the capabilities of gathering global resources enable Hisense to achieve 
success in EURO 2020 marketing campaigns. Focusing on increasing product sales 
and brand reputation has become Hisense's marketing goal in EURO 2020. Moving 
forward, Hisense will continue its efforts in sports marketing."

globalization strategy. From sponsoring EURO 2020, FIFA World Cup to other 
sports events, through comprehensive capabilities and innovative products, it 
enables Hisense to maintain competitive advantage within the global market.
