Midea SNS Playbook 2025 – Overview

Purpose:

It serves as both a governance manual and creative guide for all Business Units (BUs) to align naming conventions, visual identity, and communication style under one global direction.

Strategic Foundation

At its core, the Playbook reflects Midea’s ambition to be recognized as a global leader in smart home innovation and sustainable living.
Through the AAI Framework (Attention–Affinity–Interaction), Midea builds meaningful digital relationships by:

1. Capturing Attention with creative, playful, and human-centered content.
