Shanghai agency helping foreign brands with Baidu search, SEO, reputation and Chinese social content
About Cerberus Marketing
Cerberus Marketing is a digital marketing company in Shanghai, set up in 2019, that works mainly for foreign businesses trying to reach buyers inside mainland China. It is an advertising consultancy for overseas companies entering the Chinese market. SEO, content and social media make up the bulk of its business, and it belongs to the DAN Network. The firm has an office on Guotai Road in Yangpu district, although other parts of its website give addresses in Putuo district, so it is worth confirming the current office before a meeting.
The company is a young startup staffed by specialists and does not publish the names of its founders or managers. Headcount is 10 to 49 people. Its working principles are strong execution, a named person or small group assigned to each project, cost control and decisions tied to business outcomes. Emails are answered within 24 hours.
Its search work is built around Baidu rather than Google. Paid search covers planning before any budget is spent, A/B testing of ad copy, full management of Baidu ad accounts for clients new to China, market research and audits, and a detailed monthly Baidu campaign report that clients can review with the team. Organic SEO is sold together with online reputation management. A separate content team covers WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, Douyin and influencer campaigns. For a clinic or dental brand, that means visibility would come from Baidu rankings, reputation work and social content, since Google Business Profile does not function inside mainland China.
The client base leans toward consumer brands. Consumer products and services make up about 80 percent of its work, business services 15 percent and education 5 percent, with a mix of enterprise and small business clients. No healthcare or dental projects are published. The agency is therefore a closer fit for a foreign oral-care brand, an aligner or implant company, or a clinic group that wants Chinese-speaking patients than for a local practice outside China.
Clients include LG, Qualcomm, JLL, Mercado Libre, Indiegogo and BAUNAT, and testimonials come from BAUNAT in Hong Kong, AECOM and Ethnicraft. One testimonial praises a project delivered ahead of schedule. There are no verified Clutch reviews yet.
Rates run US$50 to 99 an hour, and projects start from about US$1,000. No fixed packages or contract terms are published, so scope and price are agreed per project.
