Campaign caught up with Tencent’s vice president, Davis Lin, at Cannes Lions. There’s been quite a stir at this year’s event regarding China’s expanding role in global marketing standards, and Lin offers a well-informed voice on the matter.

The company has made a habit of building seamless communication methods for consumers, and this has translated well for brand-building efforts as well.

Check out the video above to get Lin’s take on these subjects and more.
