How NetEase Tiancheng seeded functional pet food with mid-tier creators on Xiaohongshu

NetEase Tiancheng built a Xiaohongshu seeding campaign around pet health pain points, functional cat and dog food, and a predominantly mid-tier creator matrix. Ingredient science carried the product story, with Double 11 stocking-up cues added late in the run.

The idea

Turn everyday pet problems into ingredient-led feeding advice

From 7 August to 20 October 2024, NetEase Tiancheng ran 79 posts from 77 creators under “网易天成专业再升级” (NetEase Tiancheng: Professionalism Upgraded Again), with video accounting for 32%. Pet drama shorts opened with shedding, tear stains, weight gain or vomiting, while reviews and feeding diaries moved into ingredient explanations. Products were matched to specific needs: 网易天成兔肉猫粮 (NetEase Tiancheng Rabbit Cat Food) for coat care, 网易天成鸭肉梨狗粮 (NetEase Tiancheng Duck and Pear Dog Food) for heat-clearing, and 网易天成烘焙猫粮 (NetEase Tiancheng Baked Cat Food) for sensitive stomachs. Claims such as 87% fresh meat and four coat-care ingredients supplied concrete detail.

The audience was young, value-conscious female pet owners in first- and second-tier cities who follow ingredient labels and pet health. Self-built factory credentials, certification cues, feeding comparisons and buying guides supported the “大厂出品+专业配方+高性价比” (major-manufacturer quality + professional formulas + high value for money) theme. Later posts added Double 11 stocking-up cues and livestream diversion, but stayed focused on product education rather than discounts or an urgent sales CTA.

The first step to copy

  1. 1
    Start with the pet problem, not the product

    Open with shedding, tear stains, vomiting or picky eating in a relatable pet story. Then introduce the product line designed for that problem, so the ingredient explanation arrives as a solution rather than a sales pitch.
