Looking to create a Valentine’s Day campaign for multiple markets?
Whether you work in marketing, HR or just want to be culturally sensitive towards multinational colleagues, communication means more when it’s localised to your audience.
Too often, UK or US-based companies fall into the “groupthink” trap and take a one-size-fits-all approach to special days such as Valentine’s or Christmas. But not all cultures celebrate in the same way, and acknowledging that can bring huge business benefits.
Use our handy guide to craft messaging that’s just right for whoever you’re talking to, wherever they are.
Valentine’s Day isn't the same for everyone
You may think that every country celebrates in the same way – chocolates and a bunch of flowers on February 14th.
Well, think again!
For some countries, the date is different, and for some cultures, there are traditional gifts that only a local would know about. Check out our handy infographic below to make sure your messaging and creative, or even your internal comms, feel as localised and relevant as possible.
