The challenges of Digital Marketing internationalization

For companies of any size, managing Digital Marketing on a multi-national level comes with unique challenges.

  • Centralization vs. localization: What does the global headquarter provide its markets (e.g. technologies, content, campaigns)?
  • How can it safeguard that international services and assets are being effectively adapted and used?
  • How can it ensure the implementation of new tools even in remote markets?
  • Which KPIs are useful to steer markets? What can be measured and aggregated to meaningful metrics in global dashboards and reports?

I help you set up and optimize your Digital Marketing, so that you:

  • understand local market needs and deliver the right support & guidance
  • track local market performance & act on results
  • create real savings & speed up processes through central services and standards
  • provide technology to empower local teams (not limit them)
  • ensure a consistent brand presence – everywhere
  • help market teams focus on what they can do best: Understand, reach and engage the local consumer
