Panel 3: Zone In: International Influence and Impact
Sometimes it seems the world is getting flatter and flatter, with one global city sometimes feeling much the same as the next. But is that really true? Fast Food growth is driven by significant local menu customization and marketing that makes locals feel the brand is close to home. Consumer electronics/Telecoms sell plenty of smartphones in the USA, but a lot more phones with more basic features in India. Hear from experts with multi-cultural, globetrotting experience on what makes consumers tick in different regions and contexts and learn how to gain insights that drive engaging campaigns and great results.
