We all know how demanding travel can be. Long lines at the airport, delays, cancellations, the ever-present fear of an accident happening. We often arrive at our destination drained, worn out and frazzled and that’s not even taking into account the dreaded energy-sapping phenomenon that is jet lag, affecting many long-haul fliers. For most of us, a day or two of rest and we’re back to normal. But what about top sports stars who have to trot around the globe and be in peak condition at all times?

An alternative approach to creating multicultural contents… almost simultaneously developed and at lower costs. Traditionally, multicultural marketing campaigns managed by international media practitioners are developed through the combined efforts of a client-account team and their location-based creative networks. These in-country networks are entrusted to produce culturally appropriate and language-friendly contents and media assets relevant to their local markets in respective locations. For example, a media practitioner leading campaigns in Asian markets would involve their creative teams based in Asia. Here, although strategies and campaign directions will be centrally managed, preparations for each market’s campaign elements (editorial contents and post-production) are performed and fulfilled by decentralized creative teams, taking advantage of their local knowledge. Finished or semi-finished content assets are then delivered to the client’s account team, to be assembled and made ready for the campaign launch.
