Pro tips
- Conduct immersive market research: Before adapting your brand, spend time in your target markets observing consumer behavior and engaging with potential customers to understand nuanced cultural preferences that desk research might miss.
- Build flexible brand architecture: Create a tiered brand framework that clearly identifies non-negotiable global elements versus flex elements, allowing market teams appropriate autonomy while maintaining global cohesion.
- Test with locals, not expatriates: When validating brand adaptations, ensure you’re testing with native residents rather than expatriates, as cultural perception differences may be subtle but critically important.
- Start with flagship markets: Rather than attempting simultaneous global expansion, select 2-3 priority markets to refine your adaptation model before scaling to additional regions.
