UNITED COLORS OF BENETTON • The United Colors of Benetton: a company of colors and controversies. Offering the world an insight to fashion, as well as, human equality and world issues, Benetton gives us stylish clothing and innovative promotion. While trying to capture an audience favoring Italian character in style and design, the company additionally desires to present the world with contentious campaigns to awaken thoughts and debates. These controversies are jeopardizing Benetton’s position in the industry, and its reputation of being trendily unique and committing to world harmony. The United Colors of Benetton (Benetton), an Italian based company, is primarily focusing its business on clothing and controversial advertising.
UCB- Advertising a) How it is perceived? • Benetton has earned worldwide recognition by creating advertisement themes that promote diversity and various other social causes. • The company strives to promote itself as a socially responsible business, by supporting social organizations and discussing moral issues in its print campaigns throughout the world. • Unlike most advertisements which are centered on a company’s product or image, Benetton’s advertising campaigns addressed social and political issues.
b) Appeal of the advertisement • Most of its advertisements were severely rebuked by governments, media and general public. • But Benetton has been successful in delivering its socially responsible message amidst controversies.
d) Benetton’s communication philosophy • Benetton believes that it is important for companies to take a stance in the real world instead of using their advertising budget to perpetuate the myth that they can make consumers happy through the mere purchase of their product. • The company opted for a communication strategy in which issues and not clothes play the lead part. The company has decided to devote some of its advertising budget to communicate on themes relevant to young and old people worldwide. • Using these images in this unconventional way is an effort by Benetton to break through the complacency that exists in our society due to the constant flow of even the most horrendous realities communicated through conventional media such as the evening news or the morning paper. • By removing these images from their familiar contexts and putting them in a new context they are more likely to be noticed and given the attention they deserve as the viewer becomes involved in the process of answering the questions.
e) The Changing Society – Values (COUNTRY SPECIFIC) The Benetton’s strategy to handle the cross cultural issues is through popularizing the brand unlike most advertisements which centered around a company’s product or image, Benetton’s advertising campaigns addressed social and political issues like racial integration, AIDS awareness, war, poverty, child labor, death, pollution etc. The company tried more to “communicate” to the world about these issues rather than to “sell” apparel and accessories. In every country Benetton aimed at creating world peace and harmony. Benetton also aims at Reality advertising, by showing social issues (Two people in flood in Calcutta)

Challenges in Achieving Local Relevance: Coca cola Keeping The Classic Look and Taste Worldwide • When Coca-Cola was first introduced into the Chinese market, Chinese characters selected sounded like Coca-Cola but actually meant, “bite the wax tadpole.” • In Russian, “enjoy” was changed to “drink,” because “enjoy” has a particular sensual connotation, in that language, that doesn’t apply to soft drinks.
