The Chinese social media app RedNote, also known as Little Red Book or Xiaohongshu, was the #1 most downloaded iOS app on Monday. With the US ban of TikTok looming, many US TikTok users are looking for alternatives, global interest in RedNote has surged. This trend begs the question: Can RedNote become the next TikTok? And if it did, what would that mean for university recruiters and communicators? Will RedNote open a new avenue for recruiting students? We think that RedNote will continue to attract “TikTok refugees” in the short term, and it’s certainly worth using if your university actively recruits in China already. There is uncertainty as to whether it can step up to fill TikTok’s shoes as a platform for ads and organic engagement targeting US students, but it’s certainly worth watching.
