Standardize marketing and advertising programs – based on the belief that the worldwide marketplace has become homogenous and consumers’ basic needs, wants, and expectations transcend geographic, national, and cultural boundaries
Localized marketing and advertising programs – products and advertising messages must be designed or at least adapted to meet the differing needs and types of consumers in different countries.

Summary Overview
This slide shows the in-between approach to global advertising. This approach standardizes the product and basic marketing strategy, but localizes the advertising messages. Some agencies call this approach “Think globally, act locally.” Most messages are adapted to respond to:
Differences in language
Differences in cultural
Differences in market conditions
Pattern advertising is also used whereby ads follow the basic approach, but themes, copy, and visual elements are adapted to differences in local markets.
This approach recognizes similar desires, goals, needs, and uses for products and services but tailors advertising to the local cultures and conditions of each market. Pattern advertising is commonly used to adapt messages to local markets.

Summary Overview
There are various organizational options available to a company that is developing international advertising and promotional programs. This slide represents the centralization authority option, which involves centralizing the international advertising and promotion function. Under this scenario, all decisions related to international advertising and promotion functions, including agency selection, creative strategy, research, campaign development, media strategy, and budgeting, are made at the firm’s home office or headquarters.
Centralization is an appropriate option when market and media conditions are similar from one country to another, the company has only one or a few international agencies handling all its advertising, the company can use standardized advertising, or when the company desires a consistent image worldwide.
Centralization can also save money and reduce the number of staff needed.
Use of this slide
This slide can be used to discuss the centralization option for organizing the advertising and promotions functions.
Relation to text
This slide relates to material on pp. 672-673 of the text.
Summary Overview
This slide shows how a decentralized international organization might look and the various activities of each region. Under a decentralized organizational structure, marketing and advertising managers in each region have the authority to make their own advertising and promotional decisions. Local managers would be responsible for:
Selecting ad agencies
Selecting campaign themes
Approving creative work
Selecting advertising media
Conducting research
Developing budgets
This approach is often used when companies believe local managers know the marketing situations in their countries the best. Decentralization also works well in small or unique markets where headquarters’ involvement is not worthwhile or advertising must be tailored to the local market.
Use of this slide
This slide can be used to demonstrate how a decentralized organization would look and the various decisions/responsibilities of each region.

Summary Overview

Three basic alternatives include: 1) A major agency with both domestic and overseas offices, 2) An agency that, rather than having its own foreign offices or branches, is affiliated with agencies in other countries or belongs to a network of foreign agencies, and 3) A local agency for each national market in which it sells its products or services.

Summary Overview
This slide shows a print ad used in Thailand as part of the “Coca-Cola. Enjoy” global campaign. Coca-Cola announced a new strategy a few years ago, giving managers more freedom to adapt their marketing and advertising to local conditions. The new approach puts a stronger emphasis on creative executions that are tailored to regional and international markets.
Most young Asians consume Coke to look trendy and affluent. Sales dropped dramatically when the Asian recession hit in the late ‘90s, and continued into the new millennium. Coca-Cola executives felt that, strategically, “enjoy” is more of an action word and takes the reason for drinking a Coke from a badge of success to physical pleasure.
Coca-Cola advertising in the U.S. switched to the “Real” campaign for its Coke Classic brand in early 2003. However, the “Coca-Cola Enjoy” theme is still being used in some Asian countries.

Summary Overview
This slide shows the important differences among countries that marketers must consider when developing a sales promotion program. These differences are:
Economic development puts limitations on sales promotion in less-developed countries
Market maturity will affect the type of sales promotion tool than can be used
Consumer perceptions of the sales promotion tool
Trade structure, such as the willingness of retailers to accommodate sales promotions
Regulations, which can restrict many sales promotion tools, such as contest, coupons, and samples
