It\u2019s a chance to catch up with family, return to your hometown, and take a much-needed week off from work. It\u2019s also a time for businesses to plug their brands. Walmart&#8217;s Mid-Autumn Festival ad campaign has done it with a touch of finesse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the ads, Walmart (\u6c83\u5c14\u739b) uses artful techniques to overcome the inherent challenge of marketing fresh produce<\/strong>. That challenge being when advertised on screen, you miss the produce\u2019s chief feature: taste.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not content to overcome hurdles, the campaign also demonstrates a solid knowledge of Chinese traditions important to consumers and displays a neat sleight of hand. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walmart\u2019s campaign: Echoes from Nature&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Walmart The Entrance Has a Voice\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1126760850?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"520\" height=\"363\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to know is that this campaign is primarily for TV spots \u2013 that\u2019ll come back into focus later. Titled <em>Echos from Nature<\/em> (\u5165\u53e3\u6709\u58f0\u97f3) \u2013 or <em>The Entrance Has a Voice<\/em> if you take a more literal translation \u2013 it\u2019s a series of four ads promoting a message of freshness and the careful selection of Walmart produce.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, they put a subject in the midst of nature. Hair is caught in a breeze, rain is sheltered from under the eaves of woodland houses, a figure cycles across the backdrop of Guangxi\u2019s karst mountains.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But what really stands out is the sound design.<\/strong> The back half of the ads are set to Chen Jingfei\u2019s calming voice (\u9648\u5a67\u970f) singing <em>The Sunset Elsewhere <\/em>(\u522b\u5904\u7684\u5915\u9633). Our UK readership might look back to M&amp;S\u2019s famous use of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s <em>Albatross <\/em>in their food ads for a western parallel. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marks &amp; Spencer Chocolate Pudding\" width=\"520\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tu-sbmySMG8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>M&amp;S&#8217;s famous food ads<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, the spotlight isn\u2019t on the music. The focus is on sound mastered to a near-ASMR pleasure level. A raindrop doesn\u2019t just sound like water hitting the deck, it near enough soothes you to sleep. Apples are placed in a basket with a pleasing tap. Wind <em>feels<\/em> like it\u2019s blowing just for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here comes the mastery: when someone actually bites that apple, or they sink their teeth into a mooncake, you\u2019re so tuned in to the pleasure of the accompanying noise that its comparable to the joy of actually eating the thing. Walmart swapped the pleasure of taste for one your TV can actually provide: the pleasure of sound.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mid-Autumn Festival and Walmart\u2019s view of the bigger picture&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"48205\" src=\"https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-1024x640.png\" alt=\"Walmart's ad\" class=\"wp-image-48205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-2048x1280.png 2048w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-1870x1169.png 1870w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-400x250.png 400w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.51.01-800x500.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"48204\" src=\"https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-1024x640.png\" alt=\"Walmart's ad\" class=\"wp-image-48204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-2048x1280.png 2048w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-1870x1169.png 1870w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-400x250.png 400w, https:\/\/daoinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-09.53.41-800x500.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><sub>Images: Screenshots from Echo&#8217;s from Nature<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two smart moves at play in Walmart\u2019s Mid-Autumn ads. The first demonstrates an astute knowledge of Chinese consumer behavior \u2013 the type of knowledge that can win you major points in the Chinese market. It\u2019s the understanding of their market\u2019s love of tradition and Mid-Autumn Festival\u2019s traditional roots as a harvest festival \u2013 the ideal time to advertise fresh produce.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second is the aforementioned sleight of hand. Walmart is familiar with the techniques of modern marketing. Much like those at Christmas or Thanksgiving in the west, adverts around Chinese traditional festivals usually involve lots of people, family and friends coming together, screens crowded with happy faces, the loud noises of celebration. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart\u2019s <em>Echoes of Nature<\/em> campaign does the opposite. The subjects of its adverts are solo, alone. The soundscape is quiet. Gone is the noise of the many, instead each sound plays out one at a time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Walmart\u2019s campaign succeeds because it unites sensory marketing with cultural intelligence. It takes a festival built around the harvest and reimagines it through a modern lens \u2013 using sound to speak for taste, solitude to stand out from the crowd, and silence to create space. It\u2019s a reminder to brands that great storytelling doesn\u2019t shout, it listens.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mid-Autumn Festival is an important event in the Chinese calendar.
