CASE STUDY 
International Federation of Volleyball (FIVB) 
Maintaining a Fanbase on 
Chinese Social Media
Because China's volleyball team was one of 
the earliest teams to achieve success on the 
international sports stage, the sport is 
popular in China.
The official governing body, the International 
Federation of Volleyball (FIVB), launched on 
Chinese social media last year to great 
success, growing over 100,000 fans in only 90 
days.
However, while many brands have a 
strong start, one of the biggest 
challenges is maintaining a fanbase.
FIVB, however, has maintained a 
steady rate of organic growth several 
months down the line.
In the past week alone, they've 
gained : 
3,000 200 240 2.2K 600 
new 
comments reposts clicks likes 
followers
How did they do it?
1. Great Content 
FIVB¡¯s posts are 
consistently filled with 
rich media content: 
high quality, exclusive 
behind-the-scenes, & 
action images
2. Localization 
Since Chinese fans are 
interested in news that they 
can relate to, FIVB 
emphasizes the Chinese 
teams and what events take 
place in China.
3. Engagement 
Frequent updates, 
questions, and campaigns 
encourage fans to 
participate in conversations 
and give opinions.
Thanks for listening ;)
