Data Processing

  • Integrated 3 years of sales and user operations data for Dongfeng Honda across 10 dimensions including KOC engagement, content creation, and referral rates.
  • Used Python (pandas, NumPy) to clean and validate data, detect anomalies, and identify key growth factors to support the brand's private-domain growth strategy.

Model Development

  • Built multiple linear regression and random-forest models to forecast new KOC growth and content output trends.
  • Achieved R² = 0.86, directly informing quarterly operation targets and resource allocation decisions.
  • Produced 10+ slide decks summarising model results — all adopted by the client.

Strategy Optimisation

  • Co-authored multiple rounds of executive-level presentation materials and designed KOC growth paths and UGC incentive tiering systems.
  • Applied K-Means clustering to 500+ user profiles and content types, identifying three core segments: "Aesthetic Seeding," "Daily Sharing," and "Usage Insights."
  • Updated the KOC grading system using the Diamond Model and proposed differentiated strategies by vehicle type and region — raising UGC output by 27% in the following month.

System Building

  • Led creation of the 97-page Dongfeng Honda KOC Digital Operation System Manual (PowerPoint), converting project insights into a standardised operational framework.
  • Produced a 15-page Word standard operation guide for internal training and process standardisation.
