Home / Insights / 11.11 2022

The 2022 11.11 Global Shopping Festival has just ended. Billions of transactions with hundreds of millions of satisfied customers, making it the biggest shopping event on the planet, by far.

But 11.11 isn’t simply about scale and sales.

11.11 has evolved at China speed. It’s now about the latest advances in digital technology. It’s about bringing ever more sustainability to e-commerce. It’s about how Alibaba’s platforms help brands innovate and provide products for emerging categories in China and the rest of the world. And in 2022 it’s metamorphosised again as a driver of customer loyalty.

This year more than ever success has been driven by strategy. The impact of 11.11 travels across the world.

This is why we have created this WPP BAV 11.11 Insights Series housed on this resource site crammed with videos and podcasts.

Here you will find interviews with key Alibaba leaders, strategic observations of the key 2022 trends, contextual insights to understand China retail and links to our 2021 11.11 broadcasting, which still makes fascinating viewing.
