Background
The mission of Webmainland Media Ltd is to bridge the inclusion gap between the local community and Chinese newcomers and immigrants. The company was founded in October 2015, and we started our journey by helping realtors in Greater Vancouver reach Chinese newcomers. Since then, we do business as Realtoraccess, but it is not enough.
What we do
With the growing immigrant population and the need for diversity and inclusions, one pressing issue is the lack of connection channels between locals and newcomers. And because of the language barrier and cultural differences, realtors cannot serve customers if they don't fully understand.
With the growing immigrant population and the need for diversity and inclusions, one pressing issue is the lack of connection channels between local realtors and newcomers. In addition, with language barriers and cultural differences, realtors and local businesses cannot fully serve customers if they don’t fully understand their needs.
We have gathered a group of web designers, data scientists, writers, analysts, and programmers working together to help local businesses, real estate agents and community stakeholders. During COVID -19, we started to build Linli Talk: a smart social connector that introduces newcomers and immigrants to small group video gatherings, which expand newcomers’ local connections and interpersonal relationships in the community.
The R&D
Our community marketing solutions connect locals with Chinese newcomers and immigrants. This requires automation and the applications of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain.
