Fortune Character

The Ultimate Opportunity to reach Elite Chinese Consumers

Fortune Character

How to engage with 182,000 of the richest people in China Fortune Character is the leading luxury media group in China. Comprising Fortune Character Magazine, Fortune Character Club, Fortune Character Training and the Fortune Character Institute, it provides a mutually beneficial series of links between China’s wealthiest citizens and the global luxury business. Fortune Character was launched in 2008 by Yao Shifeng, a hugely successful Chinese entrepreneur who had previously founded the largest management consultancy firm in Shanghai, Solunar Group. His aim was to create a focus for the Chinese business elite, building on the emergence of a trend for the newly-wealthy to group together to seek exclusive lifestyle opportunities, chances to network and guidance on how to enjoy the fruits of their labours. Unlike other elite clubs in China, however, Fortune Character would operate across multiple locations and include secondand third-tier cities (where more than 50% 0f the country’s wealth is located) along with the usual first-tier ones. Today Fortune Character has offices in 13 mainland Chinese cities and reaches more than 182,000 consumers in 33 divisions, making it the biggest organisation of its kind in China. Membership is by invitation only and subject to strict wealth requirements. There are two levels of membership: VVIP for those worth more than $15 million and VIP for those worth $1-$15 million.There are currently more than 60,000 VVIP members. The membership is well-engaged and enthusiastic, as demonstrated by event-attendance: every year Fortune Character organises more than 100 events – everything from car launches to high-level business summits and fine wine tastings – varying in scale from intimate dinners for 10 to presentations to 500 or more members. Fortune Character’s reach in to the more ‘remote’ cities means it is frequently the sole conduit through which the wealthy have opportunities to access some of the trappings of success, making it hugely valuable to members and brands alike. Fortune Character has already helped some of the World’s biggest luxury brands to engage with elite consumers and enhance their market positions in China, including:
