Overall
Revenue grew 34% YoY to RMB25.0 billion, against a low-base quarter, and
outpacing industry growth. Outperformance was driven by robust demand for
Video Accounts ads and ongoing enhancement of machine learning on our
advertising platform
• Ad spend on our platforms grew at a double-digit year-on-year rate from
almost every major advertiser category
Weixin
Weixin ad revenue increased YoY not only on Video Accounts but also on
Moments, Mini Programs and Official Accounts. As we launched new
functions to enhance vibrancy of Weixin's commerce ecosystem, we
attracted merchants and brands to allocate more ad budget on multiple
Weixin properties
• Video Accounts ad revenue exceeded RMB3.0 billion in 2Q23 while ad load
remained low, underpinned by continuing growth in user time spent and
better ad targeting
Content Platforms

and brand sponsorship of offline music events
Mobile Ad Network
• Revenue ramped up significantly YoY, benefitting from partnership with high
