Learning Objectives
Lesson Proper
Before a company decides to become global, it must consider a multitude of factors unique to the
international marketing environment. These factors are social, cultural, political, legal,
competitive, economic, and even technological in nature. Ultimately, at the global marketing
level, a company trying to speak with one voice is faced with many challenges when creating a
worldwide marketing plan. Unless a company holds the same position against its competition in
all markets (market leader, low cost, etc.), it is impossible to launch identical marketing plans
worldwide. Thus, global companies must be nimble enough to adapt to changing local market
trends, tastes, and needs.
Summary
To successfully implement global marketing strategies, brands must ensure their promotional
campaigns take into account how consumer behavior is shaped by internal conditions and
external influences. Global companies must be nimble enough to adapt changing local market
trends, tastes, and needs to their promotional mix. When launching global advertising, public
relations or sales campaigns, global companies test promotion ideas to provide results that are
comparable across countries.
