How Geely Auto made 吉利星愿 (Geely Xingyuan, literally Star Wish) a women’s lifestyle launch on Xiaohongshu

Over four weeks in September 2024, Geely Auto used 106 creators and 107 mostly video posts to launch 吉利星愿 (Geely Xingyuan, literally Star Wish) on Xiaohongshu, framing the electric sedan as a female-focused fashion and lifestyle accessory rather than a specification-led car.

The idea

Turn an electric sedan into a fashion item for relaxed, self-expressive living

The launch organised content around “新一代小天后” (The New-Generation Little Diva) and “#吉利星愿” (#GeelyXingyuan), presenting the car as a design-led accessory for self-expression. Creators placed it in OOTD shoots, drives with friends, pet outings and hanfu moon-viewing for Mid-Autumn. Tutorials on taking photos inside the car and light narrative integrations introduced product details naturally; the front trunk holding high heels supplied a concrete female-focused design cue. Video accounted for 76% of posts, keeping the emphasis on mood, looks and relaxed living rather than technical explanations.

The audience was urban white-collar women and Gen Z students who enjoy photography, outings with friends and treating purchases as extensions of personal style. The creative connected the car with relaxed living, self-reward and design-led consumption. There was no discount, urgency device or explicit conversion call to action: the campaign stayed at awareness and product seeding, with scene-based exposure doing the work.

Playbook

The first step to copy

  1. 1
    Make the car a lifestyle prop before explaining the car

    Build each post around a recognisable Xiaohongshu scene—an outfit shoot, a drive with friends or a pet outing—then reveal the car through composition, colour and a useful detail. Use photo tutorials or light storylines so the product appears without turning the post into a specification lesson.
