International advertising can be a risky business. When
McDonald's launched Le Big Mac in Paris, it discovered that
in local slang this meant "the big pimp". It is not just a
question of language either; national advertising styles also
vary considerably. The British like humour and irony in their
ads, whereas the Germans regard this approach as frivolous.
The French are more sexist than the British and will use
seminaked women in almost any context. The Italians
generally like to see beautiful people wearing beautiful
clothes driving beautiful cars. These are not just national
stereotypes, but based on hard experience. Different
countries also prefer different products.
