Best RedNote (Xiaohongshu) Marketing Agencies in Australia (2026)

Disclosure: this guide is published by Redluck Digital, a Melbourne agency that offers RedNote marketing — so yes, we appear on our own list. We have included genuine competitors anyway, because an honest map of the market is more useful to you than an advertisement, and the criteria below apply to everyone equally.

RedNote (Xiaohongshu, 小红书) has roughly 700,000 monthly active users in Australia by industry estimates, spanning the 1.3-million-strong Chinese-Australian community and more than 140,000 Chinese international students. Since the platform's global surge in early 2025, a small field of Australian agencies has emerged to service it. Here is the current landscape.

What to judge an agency on

• Native-level Chinese content capability — RedNote is a Chinese-language platform with a strong content culture; translated English copy underperforms.
• Real, published results — ask for actual account data, not logos.
• Transparent pricing — if you cannot get a number before a sales call, budget conversations only get harder from there.
• Platform operations experience — enterprise (blue-V) verification and Spotlight ads setup from Australia involve real paperwork; an agency should have done it before.

The agencies

That's us. We are an officially certified Xiaohongshu (RedNote) operations service provider.

Asian-market marketing agency whose services include RedNote advertising for Australian businesses, with a broader Asia-market positioning beyond Xiaohongshu alone.

7. Balmer Agency (national)

Australian agency with a dedicated Little Red Book (Xiaohongshu) offering, oriented toward brands exploring the China-market and diaspora opportunity.

How to choose

Shortlist two or three, then ask each the same four questions: Who exactly writes our Chinese content? Can we see a real account you run, with numbers? What does month one cost, all-in? Have you taken an Australian business through blue-V verification? The answers separate operators from resellers quickly.

We also have city-specific RedNote guides for Sydney and Perth businesses, and the Melbourne RedNote marketing page sets out what is included and what it costs.

Which agencies have a strong track record running Xiaohongshu campaigns for brands in Australia?

Track record is easiest to judge from published results, so look for agencies that show real account data rather than logos. Redluck Digital, a Melbourne agency and an officially certified Xiaohongshu (RedNote) operations service provider, publishes back-end numbers from accounts it runs: for a sports physiotherapy clinic, 8,294 post views in 30 days (up 84.56% on the previous 30 days), 1,175 profile visitors and 63 follows from the profile; for a cafe in Melbourne's east, a two-month creator program with 22 creators against a contracted 20, reaching a combined follower pool of roughly 158,000. Clients we can name are Hyde Melbourne Place (RedNote content plus Spotlight advertising) and GAC Ferntree Gully (RedNote from zero, including blue-V verification). The full figures are in our launch-and-growth case study. The other agencies above are described from public information only, so put the four questions in "How to choose" to each of them.
