NOTE: This AMA has ended. Find the Q&A with Ashley in the comments.

Hi TIA community!
I’m Ashley Dudarenok, an entrepreneur, professional speaker, vlogger, China expert, podcaster, book author, media contributor, and female entrepreneurship spokesperson. I’m the founder of several startups, including social media agency Alarice and training company ChoZan.
I also run an entrepreneurship vlog about marketing, China, and women in business at AshleyTalks.com and YouTube. As a professional speaker and workshop facilitator, my topics include social media marketing, personal branding, female entrepreneurship, and marketing in China. In 2017 alone, I spoke at 58 events across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
My book, Unlocking the World’s Largest E-Market: A Guide to Selling on Chinese Social Media, is available on Amazon. My new book, Digital China: Working with Bloggers, Influencers and KOLs, is coming out on November 5.
Feel free to ask me about:
- Modern Chinese consumers
- Chinese social media and marketing
- China’s new retail and technology
