Assignment No. 1: Deciding on an International Brand Communication Strategy


When planning an international brand or product launch one of the first considerations
always is to define the target group(s).

In case of internationalisation of an existing brand that means we are very often looking for
people having the „problem“ our brand can solve. We have to check whether they share the
same usage motives and the same values or whether there are differences. This step helps
to decide on a standardized brand communication strategy or a locally adapted strategy.

In case we are considering a new brand designed to fit to several markets the method is the
same, even though there is a different thinking behind: In this case we are looking for the
similarities in order to develop a brand which is tailored to the target audiences in several
countries by identifying their shared values and motives.

It is up to you which approach you choose.

Task:
Work out the different environments of three countries of your choice and consider whether a
standardised brand strategy for mass consumer goods (FMCGs, e.g. skincare products)
could be suitable in these countries. Please note, that for a standardized strategy all target
groups in the respective countries do not only have to share the same values but in particular
the same usage motives.

Hints for the Groupwork


- Work on the case in a group of 3-5 members
- Presentation should be in PowerPoint/any other presentation software
- Do not forget to mention your group member´s names on the charts
- Your presentation should not exceed 15 minutes (upper limit!). Each team
member should present to the same extend.

- Please hand over your presentation to your lecturer as a hardcopy as well


as a digital version (pdf) before the presentation (08:00 o´clock p.m.).

- The documents may not be changed afterwards.

- Good luck!
