Utilizing Marketing Technology Globally: 5 Strategies for Implementation
In the ever-evolving world of business, understanding cultural differences is paramount for creating content that appeals to various international audiences. This is the key to any marketing strategy, which involves researching geographical region, culture, interests, age, gender, and other demographics.
One brand that has mastered this art is Spotify, a Swedish-born company that expanded into America. Spotify's global marketing strategy includes personalized playlists for users based on their location and music preferences. By allowing users to select music genres, songs, and artists based on their moods and lifestyles, Spotify has successfully embraced the customer experience.
Another brand that has made a significant impact is Nike. To connect with younger customers across the world, Nike created a virtual world called NIKELAND on the popular game Roblox. Players in NIKELAND can don Nike-branded apparel and shoes and play games together, creating a unique and immersive experience.
Airbnb, a company that started as a small community in California, has expanded to over 4 million hosts in countless countries across the globe. Airbnb's global marketing strategy includes blog posts teaching hosts how to make guest-friendly improvements and TikTok videos with quick tours of exquisite travel locations and properties. The company also leveraged the power of social media, using the right hashtags to reach a wider audience.
The World Wildlife Federation (WWF) is another example of a brand that understands the importance of a global approach. The WWF launched the Earth Hour initiative, a global blackout event held annually to draw attention to climate change. This initiative encourages people across the globe to turn their lights out for one hour on the same day at the same time (local time).
Global marketing also involves translating or localizing existing content to appeal to cultural audiences. Dunkin' Donuts, for instance, launched a line of flavours to recognise its international customers, ranging from dry pork and seaweed to mango and grapefruit. The Dunkin' Donuts' website is available in various languages, including Simplified Chinese.
Enabling Google Translate for a website allows users to automatically translate and read the content on the website, making it more accessible to a global audience. Building a chatbot that interprets multiple languages can also help with a global marketing strategy. Working with a writer, translator, or localization specialist can ensure content is ready for a global audience.
Zeta Global Holdings Corp. is an example of a company that successfully implements a global operating marketing strategy with technology. By integrating AI into the core of its data-driven marketing solutions, Zeta Global Holdings Corp. enables personalised Omnichannel campaigns.
In the realm of global marketing, it's crucial to consider various geographic and cultural concepts and factors, such as language and dialect, politics, religious beliefs, and local trends. Understanding these factors and tailoring strategies accordingly can lead to successful global expansion and increased brand recognition.
