During my 2024 internship at Sichuan Newsnet Media (Group) Co., Ltd., reports about Chengdu Metro’s Fangcao Street Station cooling zone demonstrated how public input influences urban spaces. Witnessing citizens experience direct improvements made me understand how strategic communication can tangibly propel social progress and cultivate healthy community engagement; this inspired my curiosity regarding the ways public demands influence urban governance. This realisation‑‑that communication shapes outcomes by responding to audience needs and group belonging‑‑made me curious how these same dynamics operate within commercial contexts, so I set out to explore audience psychology, persuasion and reception in subsequent online‑marketing internships. These reflections shaped my undergraduate‑thesis proposal, which intends to analyse how community identity impacts advertising responsiveness among Chinese‑language podcast listeners. Even though my proposal is situated within a single‑language domestic setting, it raises new questions: how could this underlying mechanism adapt across diverse linguistic and cultural landscapes? Persuasion strategies by themselves prove inadequate for successful cross‑cultural communication, which additionally requires profound cultural and linguistic awareness—specifically the exact skills I intend to develop throughout my graduate education. That is why I am strongly drawn to the Master of Arts in Bilingual Corporate Communication at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. My immersive undergraduate study in Advertising Studies at Sichuan Agricultural University built up my foundational knowledge of corporate communication and media operations. A course project on Personal Social Media Account Management (Xiaohongshu), Niche Content Creation for “Square‑Round Face” Shapes enabled me to independently plan and manage a niche Xiaohongshu account targeting individuals with square‑round face shapes. On Xiaohongshu, strategic content production aimed at square‑round face shapes effectively blended relevant everyday scenarios with specific fashion guidance. Subway‑shot clips regularly received more than 10,000 views, and publishing more than 30 postings produced considerable engagement, with five of them receiving more than 20,000 views. This precise audience positioning successfully closed the monetization loop by drawing cross‑category brand partnerships for eyewear, earrings, and hair dye. I converted complex consumer insights and regional aesthetic trends into compelling, cross‑platform brand tales. Successful stakeholder involvement demonstrated how digital influence and focused marketing tactics generate quantifiable economic benefits across a variety of consumer markets, bridging audience‑centric storytelling with business goals. This project sharpened my audience‑centred brand‑storytelling skills for Chinese‑speaking markets, and it also raised questions for me: what adjustments are required when these narratives travel across language and cultural boundaries? Alongside my academic pursuits, my internship as a Content Operations Intern at Beijing Yuanli Education Science and Technology Co., Ltd. sharpened my corporate communication knowledge. Some of my proudest takeaways were managing content strategies and visual‑text production for Xiaohongshu; in this role, I collaborated with branding and ad teams to leverage high‑quality assets for increased conversion efficiency. By incorporating AI tools and refining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), I boosted my daily content output six‑fold, from five to over thirty posts. Additionally, compared to the baseline, the average post engagement rates increased by more than 20% as a result of the development of 12 unique content strategies based on tested topics. Costs of trial and error were successfully reduced while maximizing the return on investment (ROI) of the entire ad campaign, with 65% of the material intelligently customized to particular campaign phases. These metrics reflect not only operational efficiency but also how systematic content frameworks can align messaging with target‑group characteristics. My experience building data‑driven content frameworks for domestic China gives me a practical foundation, yet I lack structured training to apply such frameworks within multilingual corporate‑communication contexts. The flexible Master of Arts in Bilingual Corporate Communication at PolyU will provide me with profound knowledge of corporate identity and bilingual communication through the fascinating lens of cross‑cultural exchanges. Curriculum‑wise, I am greatly interested in the *Communication in Multicultural and Multilingual Contexts* module because it precisely links my single‑context communication experience with the cross‑cultural and multilingual skills needed in global business. I am also drawn to the programme’s practice‑oriented design, which bridges academic theories with real‑world corporate‑communication challenges. My academic goals are to explore more about international public relations, cross‑cultural psychology, sociolinguistics, and global strategic management. I hope to obtain theoretical underpinnings and useful toolkits needed to successfully navigate complex global business scenarios. This course highlights a number of key learning outcomes because globalized commercial operations, transnational media campaigns, and various stakeholder networks necessitate more than a straightforward translation of messages. In addition to the curriculum, PolyU’s industrial resources, career guidance, and professional exchange programme offer a wide range of materials, which constitutes a compelling reason for my application. Through the career centre, I will also be able to speak with experts in the communication industry, expanding my network and advancing my career. Looking ahead, to achieve my short‑term goal of joining a top internet firm, consumer brand, or IMC agency as a strategist, I will apply master’s‑level data analytics, consumer behavior theories, and brand frameworks to manage end‑to‑end campaigns. I will spearhead user‑data‑driven initiatives by combining structured content SOPs with audience psychology insights, leveraging my background in social media management to drive precision reach and high conversions in fragmented new media landscapes. My long‑term goal is to advance into a position as a strategy director or brand marketing consultant by becoming a senior specialist in user psychology and communication strategy. In addition to promoting the expansion of corporate brands, my goal is to replace intuition‑based marketing with rigorous data standards and empirical audience insights. Beyond commercial brand‑building, I hope to transfer these communication‑strategy competencies to socially‑oriented causes. In the end, I want to provide strategic advice to public organizations and social enterprises, promoting open communication between governments, companies, and the general public while connecting business effectiveness with significant social impact. 这个是申请香港理工大学中英企业传播的ps，请从语言表达，逻辑等方面评价一下这个ps，并且给出修改意见，同时优化内容，删减字符， max 4000characters with spaces

我会先从招生官视角评估这版文书的主线、语言和说服力，再给出一版压缩至 4,000 characters（含空格）以内、可直接继续打磨的英文稿。

一、总体评价

这版 PS 的基础较好，经历真实、数据具体、与中英企业传播专业有一定关联，尤其是“公共传播经历—广告学习—内容运营实习—跨文化传播能力缺口—申请 PolyU”的主线已经基本形成。相比普通的经历罗列型文书，你的优势在于能够从实践中提炼出“受众心理、传播效果和文化差异”等思考。

但目前仍存在几个问题：

1. 语言表达略显“翻译腔”和堆砌

例如：

  • “strategic communication can tangibly propel social progress”
  • “successfully closed the monetization loop”
  • “profound knowledge”
  • “useful toolkits”
  • “a wide range of materials”

这些表达有些夸张或不够自然，不像英式申请文书中成熟、克制的表达。建议多使用具体、简洁的动词，减少抽象名词和商业宣传式措辞。

2. 第一段公共事务经历与企业传播之间的过渡还可以更自然

地铁降温区的案例很有辨识度，但原文从“公共沟通改善城市治理”直接跳到“商业传播和广告”，中间略显突然。更好的逻辑是：

public feedback → communication responds to audience needs → communication influences decisions → the same mechanism applies to brands and consumers

这样可以让公共传播经历成为后续研究兴趣的真正起点。

3. 数据很多，但部分数据缺少解释

例如“每天从 5 篇增加到 30 多篇”“互动率提升 20%”“65% 内容被定制”等数据较有说服力，但需要明确它们体现了什么能力，而不仅是罗列成果。修改稿中将这些数据统一服务于“data-driven content planning”和“audience alignment”。

4. 对 PolyU 的匹配度可以更集中

原文提到了课程、职业中心、产业资源和交流项目，但略显像“项目介绍复述”。建议重点突出：

  • 你已有中国语境下的数字内容与受众运营经验；
  • 你缺少跨语言、跨文化和企业传播的系统训练；
  • PolyU 的双语与多元文化课程正好弥补这一缺口。

5. 职业规划略显宽泛

“top internet firm, consumer brand, or IMC agency”范围较大，容易显得缺少聚焦。修改后保留了职业方向，但将重点集中到 strategist—strategy director/brand-marketing consultant 的递进关系上。

6. 需要谨慎处理论文表述

你已经明确这是 undergraduate thesis proposal，这一点是正确的。不要使用 “my research found” 或 “my study demonstrates” 等暗示论文已经完成并得出结论的表达。修改稿中统一使用 “examines”“raises a question”等 proposal 语气。

二、优化后的版本

以下版本保留了你的核心经历、数据和申请逻辑，同时压缩了重复表达，调整了句式和衔接。整体控制在 4,000 characters including spaces 以内；提交前仍建议使用申请系统本身的字符统计功能再次确认。

My interest in corporate communication grew from seeing how messages shape public life and consumer behaviour. During my 2024 internship at Sichuan Newsnet Media (Group) Co., Ltd., I reported on a cooling zone created at Chengdu Metro’s Fangcao Street Station after public feedback. Seeing citizens benefit directly showed me that responsive communication can influence decisions and strengthen communities. This prompted me to explore audience psychology, persuasion and message reception in digital-marketing internships. It also informed my undergraduate thesis proposal, which examines how community identity may affect advertising responsiveness among Chinese-language podcast listeners. Although the proposal focuses on a domestic, single-language context, it raises a broader question: how can communication strategies adapt across linguistic and cultural boundaries? I hope to explore this through PolyU’s Master of Arts in Bilingual Corporate Communication.
My undergraduate studies in Advertising at Sichuan Agricultural University have given me a foundation in branding, media operations and audience research. In a Xiaohongshu account-management project, I created a niche account for people with square-round face shapes. By combining everyday scenarios with practical fashion advice, I translated audience insights into accessible brand narratives. Several videos exceeded 10,000 views; among more than 30 posts, five surpassed 20,000 views. The account attracted collaborations in eyewear, earrings and hair dye. This project taught me how audience positioning connects content, engagement and commercial outcomes, while showing me that narratives effective in Chinese-speaking markets require adaptation across cultures and languages.
As a Content Operations Intern at Beijing Yuanli Education Science and Technology Co., Ltd., I developed my ability to turn communication ideas into measurable results. Working with branding and advertising teams, I produced Xiaohongshu content and refined campaign workflows. By integrating AI tools and standardising procedures, I increased daily output from five to more than 30 posts. I developed 12 content strategies that raised average post engagement by over 20% against the baseline, and helped tailor 65% of materials to different campaign phases. These experiences showed me how data and structured processes align messages with audiences. They also revealed my limitation: I need systematic training to communicate with multilingual stakeholders and manage corporate messages across cultures.
PolyU’s MA is the ideal next step because it connects my practical experience with the intercultural and bilingual expertise I seek. I am particularly interested in Communication in Multicultural and Multilingual Contexts, which would deepen my understanding of how language, identity and cultural expectations influence corporate communication. The programme’s practice-oriented approach would help me connect international public relations, cross-cultural psychology, sociolinguistics and strategic management with real challenges. Its industry links and exchange opportunities would also help me learn how organisations build trust among diverse stakeholders.
After graduation, I hope to join a leading internet company, consumer brand or integrated marketing communications agency as a strategist. I plan to combine data analytics, consumer-behaviour theory and bilingual communication skills to manage campaigns from insight to evaluation, using structured content systems to improve reach and conversion. In the longer term, I aim to become a strategy director or brand-marketing consultant specialising in user psychology and communication strategy. I hope to replace intuition-led decisions with evidence-based insight while maintaining cultural sensitivity. Ultimately, I would like to apply these skills to brand building and socially oriented initiatives, helping governments, companies and communities communicate more openly and create meaningful social impact.

三、进一步提交前的建议

  1. 核实所有量化数据：尤其是“10,000 views”“20% engagement increase”和“65% materials”，确保能够在简历、实习证明或面试中解释统计口径。
  2. 确认课程名称完全准确：课程名称建议直接以 PolyU 当年官网或申请系统公布的版本为准。
  3. 避免再加入更多经历：当前五段结构已经完整，再添加奖项、社团或其他项目可能会削弱主线。
  4. 可以考虑进一步强化香港因素：如果你有粤语、香港传媒环境、跨境品牌或大湾区商业传播方面的经历，可用一句话补充；如果没有，不建议为了“贴合香港”而生硬添加。
  5. “square-round face shapes”建议确认英文术语：如果该项目对外发布时使用的是特定中文审美分类，面试中最好能够解释这一内容定位及其目标受众。
