In other words, the purpose of the paper is to find out whether a global advertisement will be effective; is it affected by culture, region especially in India. Global Marketing is the strategy used to increase sales and profit of a brand in international marketing through single message (Reference, 2016). In recent times, Global markets have increased significantly. In past few years international markets have grown faster than the domestic markets indication the growth of globalization. Most of the companies enter international markets for profits and to increase the sales. Some companies enter the international markets when their domestic market has reached maturity. One of the good examples is Coca-Cola. (Gillespie, n.d.). The most common paradox in global advertisement is “Think Global, act local”. It is know that thinking and behavior patterns are equally influenced by ones culture. (Mooij, 2010). Global marketers suggest that global youth segment with homogenous desires. That is localized versions of youth culture evolve when global youth cultures are available.(Kjeldgaard D., Askegaard, S, 2006). The great example of global communication is internet as it is assumed to cross the cultural barriers.(Cheon.H.J,C-H., & Sutherland,J.(2007). Difference of opinions are found in the cultures and between the culture. For example, after the battle of Waterloo,

In order to communicate effectively to the consumers adopting and infusing ads with their cultural symbols. Various and flamboyant ads are what attracts the Asian community.
The main aspect of advertising is to ‘get more bang for the buck’, to make it aesthetically pleasing to the eye and gain the viewer’s attention. Throughout the years, advertising has varied in many ways from catchy slogans to iconic logos. Some may say there is nothing wrong with a little healthy competition, but what if one area is gaining the benefits slightly different than the others because of their boldness? American and European advertising are very different culturally as well as aesthetically. There has always been a cultural difference in the style of
Advertising is a general method used by many companies and organizations all over the world. Those organizations or companies use advertising in order to increase selling of the company goods as well as services.

To conclude, Due to the harmful effects from businesses and their need for money, people need to change how advertising affects them. They use many different techniques to take advantage of the relationships of consumers. They create competitiveness amongst consumers and they even dwell on the personal relationships. They change the environment that consumers shop in. The practices of advertising that businesses use slowly hurt the culture of society. The culture of today is drastically being changed due to the unjust practices of
Each country is a different market, with its own language, buying habits, ways of living, mores, business methods, marketing traditions, and laws. So instead of trying to organize new agencies with American personnel, most U.S. agencies purchase a majority. However, U.S agencies are not locked into the differences, because through global marketing, all of people’s needs around the world will be same toward U.S products sold abroad. Global consumer culture also depends upon global media to create a sense of global identify and memory without which any cultural identity is incomplete (Smith 1991).
Advertising on a global scale is much more complex than advertising with a more local agenda (Kotabe & Helsen, 2004; Young, 2005). From one country or culture to the next, what is acceptable and desirable can quickly change (Levitt, 1983). That is not only true of the products or services being sold, but also true of the way those products or services are represented and offered to the public. Even something as simple as the slogan of a product must be carefully considered, because it may not translate well into another language (Hollensen, 2011). It could have a completely different meaning or connotation, and that is also true of the name of a product. Some companies have struggled with that in the past because they failed to perform due diligence before they put their product into a new and foreign market. Overall, it is much better to make sure that all the background research is performed and all necessary changes are made to the product and its packaging and representation before the global advertising campaign begins.

The greatest effort required in this strategy is using advertising as well presentation to try and appease local sensibilities in various countries rather than applying a mass market strategy.
