CONTEXT 
Social media is a truly global phenomenon, with 
people from all over the globe interacting with 
each other via social platforms every day. This 
global reach represents a significant opportunity 
for brands, but global diversity can make things 
complicated. This report explores the elements that 
marketers must consider when developing a multi-market 
social media strategy, explaining how to 
maximise economies of scale, whilst ensuring that 
social activities are tailored to specific local needs.
