How Dedao used 43 Xiaohongshu creators to launch a workplace guide on JD.com
From March 15 to April 3, 2024, Dedao Book and JD.com launched 《干得漂亮》 (Well Done) through 43 Xiaohongshu posts. A KOC-heavy, image-led plan turned workplace communication advice into searchable, situation-specific recommendations.
Turn workplace anxiety into a formula readers can look up and use
The launch framed 《干得漂亮》 (Well Done) as a “职场解题公式” (workplace problem-solving formula) and a portable workplace reference, not a general motivational read. Posts repeatedly explained “10套行动方案+45条办事攻略” (10 action plans + 45 practical guides), stressing “即插即用” (plug and play) and “模板套用” (apply the templates). Image-led recommendations broke workplace communication, anxiety and student-style thinking into situations readers could recognise, with MBTI labels, commutes and couple scenes providing lifestyle context. Some posts paired the book with 《沟通的方法》 (Methods of Communication) as a combined recommendation, while comment lotteries and friend-tagging added participation.
The core audience was introverted women in their first 1-3 years at work, alongside urban white-collar women and Gen Z students. Content addressed workplace anxiety, communication and personal growth through a peer-to-peer, explanatory tone, supported by the author’s role as the app’s co-founder and CEO. With no discounts or gifts, every route pointed to JD.com: users were asked to search a term based on the author’s nickname to find and buy the book.

The first step to copy
- 1
Open with a workplace problem the target reader already feels
Open with situations such as “被突然点名怎么办” (What to do when you are suddenly called on), “刚工作爆焦虑” (overwhelming anxiety after just starting work) or “职场i人内耗” (workplace introverts' internal turmoil), then connect each problem to a usable template. A specific predicament gives the recommendation more relevance than a broad book endorsement.
