Branding in a cross cultural context ~ Issy

Will the brand be communicated in a cross-cultural context?  The brand communication strategy we would employ would be the standardisation approach. As we are looking at an American brand coming into the Australian market there isn’t a great need for customization. If we were looking at integrating into an Asian country for example, there would need for customisation in the approach as there are greater differences in American and Asian pop culture. When looking prior integration of similar brands from the USA to the Australian market such as H&M, Topshop and Zara we see they have been successful in remaining the same (little customization), as there is a place for them in the Australian market as they are. For this reason the standardisation approach seems very appropriate. We are both very westernised countries and the USA fashion and retail appeals to Australians. This is shown by the huge demand in online shopping in Australia for these fashion brands.

What does our client request us to do & What is the key message? ~ Emma

Client Request: Our client requests us to create an innovative communication strategy, focusing on the online promotion of the brand, in order to share with the Australian market the same positive reputation that they had acquired among overseas consumers. Key Message:  The key message of the brand narrative is that being fashionable is fun, whether dressed in vintage clothing, festival wear, or going for a more modern, chic approach. They would like to appear as fun, stylish and trendy and to appeal particularly to teenage/young adult males and females who are interested in fashion - whether modern styles or vintage, as well as beauty and music. By selling music products, Urban Outfitters suggest that fashion and music, especially when combined (for example, at music festivals like Coachella), have the ability to connect and bring people together through having an enjoyable time, thus portraying the emotional attachment between the target audience and the brand.

Measuring the Effectiveness of Communication Strategies ~ India

Social Media monitoring:  will be used to measure the campaign effectiveness. This is chosen because the campaign takes place via social channels and can be measured accordingly. Total engagement will be evaluated via the following means: -    Analyse engagement consistently throughout campaign, checking every week what the top 5-10 most engaged with posts are and tailor content accordingly. -    Analyse what the bottom 5-10 posts are and tailor accordingly. -    Upon the completion of the campaign all social posts and channels (snapchat, Instagram) will be assessed to gather the total engagement. This can then be analysed to see how much of their target audience they were able to reach.
