GLOBAL GROWTH / CREATIVE STRATEGY SHANGHAI · HONG KONG · WORLDWIDE

Hello, I’m Zhitao 寇志涛

I make global products impossible to ignore.

I turn product truth into cultural signal — across AI, creator ecosystems, performance creative, and the messy middle where markets actually move.

Selected proof 01—03

The work is the argument.

Not a collection of channels. A record of finding the right message, market, and motion — then making them compound.

01AI PRODUCT GTM

Cici / ByteDance

Turned a model capability into a global user habit.

Found high-intent use cases, localized their story, and turned them into creative systems that helped new-user growth beat ChatGPT in key markets.

USE CASE → CREATIVE → GROWTH
02REVENUE / WEB

TikTok LIVE

Built a $30M+ web revenue motion from zero.

Connected behavioral friction, content intent, and cross-platform conversion into a new monetization route for high-value users.

INSIGHT → FUNNEL → REVENUE
03GLOBAL CREATOR ECOSYSTEM

Rise of Kingdoms / Lilith Games

Made a global game feel native in every market.

Built an operating system for thousands of creators across YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and regional cultures — while helping titles reach top-grossing rankings in 10+ markets.

CULTURE → CREATORS → SCALE

Public details are intentionally high level. The interesting part is the thinking — ask me about it.

The operating system 04 / 04

Signal over noise.

I work where product, culture, and conversion overlap. This is how I turn a launch into a lasting growth motion.

  1. 01

    Find the product truth

    Get beyond feature lists: identify the job, tension, or behavior worth making visible.

    →
  2. 02

    Make it culturally legible

    Translate the truth into a native story for each platform, creator, and market.

    →
  3. 03

    Build a repeatable engine

    Turn a winning angle into a testable system: briefs, creative, localization, measurement, and iteration.

    →
  4. 04

    Use AI where it compounds

    Automate the bottleneck, not the taste. LLM workflows should accelerate sharp judgment — never replace it.

    →

Built inside the platforms

A global lens, with operator scar tissue.
