Foreword
Against the backdrop of intensifying competition in the European electric mobility market, the era of single-channel-driven growth is over. What will truly support long-term brand growth is an integrated marketing system that encompasses awareness building → interest amplification → search engagement → conversion closure.
A certain e-bike brand, a key player in the electric mobility sector, achieved a significant breakthrough in the European market in 2024 through in-depth collaboration with the ZBANX brand’s overseas marketing team. This transformation encompassed everything from influencer marketing to search engine optimization; from low-priced products to high-end product category expansion; and from existing markets to large-scale growth in new countries.
本文将系统拆解这一案例，为正在进行 品牌出海、红人营销与整合营销布局的中国品牌提供可复制的方法论。
This article will systematically analyze this case study, providing Chinese brands currently engaged in international expansion, influencer marketing, and integrated marketing strategies with a replicable methodology.
I. Customer Background and Core Challenges: Increased Competition and Product Transformation
This e-bike brand has been deeply involved in the electric mobility sector for many years and has established a certain brand presence in Europe, but it faces three key challenges in 2024:
1. Industry competition is intensifying, and low-priced products are insufficient to support growth targets.
With the rapid growth in the number of European electric mobility brands, relying solely on low-priced models is no longer sufficient to achieve scalable growth.
It is necessary to upgrade products to a higher-end level and enhance brand premium capabilities to support annual sales targets that are 3–5 times higher.
2. Opening up new markets is challenging, and the cost of marketing trials and errors is high.
The European market is highly fragmented, with significant differences between countries in terms of purchasing power, content preferences, and conversion paths. Blindly launching large-scale advertising campaigns can easily lead to wasted budgets.
3. The influence of online celebrities and advertising conversion have not formed a closed loop.
Traditional influencer collaborations often remain at the “exposure level,” with influencer content not being fully repurposed, and the momentum failing to translate into results on search engines and advertising platforms.
II. ZBANX Integrated Marketing Solutions: A complete chain from insight to conversion.
To support the growth targets of a particular e-bike brand, ZBANX built a scalable integrated marketing model centered around “influencer marketing and search engine optimization.”
1. AI Market Insights: Let data, not feelings, guide national decision-making.
ZBANX conducts multi-dimensional analysis of several European countries through its self-developed AI market insight system, including:
- Search demand growth trends
- Preferences for electric mobility products
- Customer acceptance of average transaction value
- Content platform activity level
Ultimately, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom were selected as the first key markets for focused expansion:
- Germany: A mature market for electric mobility, with high acceptance of high-end products.
- Sweden: Strong commitment to green transportation and high efficiency in translating concepts into action.
- United Kingdom: Influencers have strong content dissemination capabilities, which is beneficial for brand amplification.
Conclusion: Choosing the right market is half the battle when it comes to successful brand expansion overseas.
2. Influencer Marketing: Scaling up with 100+ high-quality KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders)
On the influencer side, ZBANX did not adopt the “small number of top influencers + high cost” model, but instead:
- Rapidly identify and onboard over 100 effective influencers in specific niches.
- Covers YouTube, short videos, and review content.
- Emphasis on authentic experiences + conveying the value of high-end products.
The core objective of this step is not direct conversion, but rather: to generate sufficiently dense content signals to lay the foundation for subsequent scaling of advertising and search efforts.
3. Google Ads Integration Strategy: Making influencer content the most powerful advertising material.
This is the most crucial amplifier in the entire case.
① Creator Promotion: Amplifying the influence of key opinion leaders (KOLs)
- Edit high-quality influencer review content into advertising materials.
- Targeted advertising to influencers’ followers and similar audiences.
- Significantly improve trust and click-through rates.
Influencer content is no longer a “one-time consumption” but has become a high-ROI advertising asset.
② Demand Generation + Video: Igniting consumer awareness for premium product categories.
Regarding this brand’s high-end models:
- Using the Demand Gen + Video series
- Continuously amplify the product’s value propositions.
- By continuously featuring influencers, we can quickly build up the top of the marketing funnel with a large audience.
The goal of this step is to encourage users to consider this brand’s high-end models and actively seek out information through search engines.
③ Search Ads + PMax: Completing the final search-based conversion optimization.
Once brand awareness and search demand are fully activated:
- Launch Search Ads + Performance Max
- Precisely capture search traffic for brand names, product names, and review-related keywords.
- Building a complete closed loop from “seeing the content → searching → placing an order”.
III. Performance Data: Double Growth in Brand and Sales
This integrated marketing approach has achieved remarkable success in the European market:

| index | Growth performance |
| GMV | +48.2% |

| Brand popularity | Approximately 16 times |
| CPC | ↓15.74% |
Case Summary: Why is this strategy worth replicating for Chinese brands?
The success of this e-bike brand is not a coincidence, but rather a validation of three key facts:
- Influencer marketing is not the end goal, but rather the starting point for growth.
- Search engine optimization capabilities determine the “harvesting efficiency” of brands expanding into overseas markets.
- Truly effective integrated marketing is always a synergy of “content × advertising × search.”
ZBANX achieves this by systematically integrating these capabilities into a replicable and scalable growth model.
