The localization school of thought in the global versus local debate contends that differences
between countries are a matter of degree, so advertisers must instead focus on the similarities of
consumers around the world.
Virtually every product category can be divided into local (or national), regional (trading bloc), and
international markets and brands.
Public communication campaigns are undertaken by nonprofit organizations as a conscious effort
to influence the thoughts or actions of the public.
Advertising by attorneys, doctors, or other types of professionals directed to consumers is called
professional advertising.
Cause marketing means adopting a good cause and sponsoring its fund–raising and other
community–oriented efforts.
General business and trade publications are classified as either national or regional.
The globalization of marketing communication is driven by the development of international
media and global brands.
Horizontal general business or trade publications are directed to people who hold similar jobs in
different companies across different industries.
Types of business markets at which business–to–business advertising is targeted include industrial,
government agencies, trade, professional, and agriculture.
Like national advertisers, local retailers generally prefer frequency over reach with respect to media
strategy.
