WEEK 1: Introduction
Advertising as an element of marketing
● Market (verb): to place or establish a product on the market; especially to seek to increase
sales of a product through distribution and promotion strategies
● Advertising: generating visibility, attention, engagement on some medium or platform
4Ps of Marketing (The Marketing Mix)

“Think globally, act locally”
● multinational company: a corporation that has operations and/or offers services in more than
one country or is registered in more than one country
● any company seeks to expand its activities outside its original country because of insufficient
economic opportunities, or new revenue streams
● “Think globally, act locally” (adapt global concepts to local contexts)
EX for “Think globally, act locally” motto:
➔ McAloo Tikki burger in India
➔ It had peas, potatoes, local peppers and spices
➔ The local adaptation was made to fit the local preferences and diets
Global Marketing: Standardization or Adaptation
Theodore Levitt suggested that ad agencies should treat the whole world as a single market: one ad
everywhere, only the language has to change
Why?
It is cost effective.
It creates one recognizable brand/ad worldwide.
However…
There are cases where these adaptations can be controversial.

EX 2: Microsoft ad from America to Poland

● Market Needs: similar consumer needs across countries
● Cost Advantages: economies of scale reduce production costs
