B2blog in Japan

Posted on February 12, 2006 by Dave J.

I’ve just arrived in my Osaka, Japan hotel. I’m here to meet with my parent company about our ‘global’ brand. We are a worldwide company, but only manufacture in USA, Japan, and China. As the economy becomes more global, we have to be much more conscious about being consistent with the same brand (and all other parts of our business). We’ve worked as independent Americans for the most part, and we’ve been successful serving our market.

It will be interesting to discuss all the details of what makes our brand different around the world and how we can bring things together. And on a practical point, where this does not make sense, and things should be different.

    Randy, good question. That is one that we are discussing. But even such global brand as Coca-cola tunes its message for the local tastes and market.
