Assignment No. 1: Deciding On An International Brand Communication Strategy
Busch
Marketing Communication Summer 2018
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.
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.
- Good luck!
