Supporting the marketing efforts of a national brand can be challenging at the best of times, but supporting this same brand across multiple countries, cultures, languages and/or brand incarnations adds complexity and risk. Each additional variation requires a thoughtful and thorough production process, and potentially demands a mastery of the language, acute cultural awareness, and local audience preferences.  

Some corporate marketers try to manage centrally, which, at best, risks missing opportunities to tailor messages at the local market level. At worse, it causes cultural faux pas that can harm brand integrity. Others delegate to regional teams, whose use of separate systems and solutions create numerous challenges in ensuring brand continuity, unified customer experiences, and data cohesion. Neither approach is ideal without a solution that enables the best of both worlds: corporate oversight that also empowers local marketing teams to connect with their customers authentically. 

With Radiate, brands can now use one tool in tandem with their global marketing platform or CDP (Customer Data Platform) to deploy regional email and SMS campaigns, tailored to unique markets based on: 

• Language or culture 
• Region or country 
• Brand or franchise 

For corporate marketers, the core benefit is shifting time-consuming and often challenging campaign deployments to those best positioned to understand local preferences and nuances, while still ensuring brand continuity and the desired customer experience. 

From newsletters and sales alerts to in-store announcements, regional teams are empowered to use corporate marketing-approved templates, images, and audience segments to deliver relevant and timely messages to their respective audiences. When done right, an authentic voice guided by insights into the local market will further foster ongoing engagement, drive store traffic, enhance loyalty, and ultimately, boost sales. It’s a win-win situation for all involved, particularly the brand’s local customers, who will feel uniquely recognized and valued.
