| Abstract: | This paper proposes a framework for standardisation of ad content based on countriesÂ’ cultural and socio-economic similarity. Prior research implies that when advertising in culturally similar markets, advertisers use standardised advertising. Two types of ad content, culturally normative and product-related, are examined. It is shown that culturally normative ad content is predominantly culture-driven, and standardisation is possible. However, product-related content is influenced by both cultural and socio-economic factors. Thus, it is suggested that standardisation is not appropriate for product-related ad content when socio-economic differences exist among culturally similar markets. The paper also identifies conditions under which standardisation of the two types of ad content is appropriate. |
