Article Abstract:
Revlon Inc. has recently combined its international and domestic advertising divisions into one group in order to reduce costs and avoid duplication of work. Now advertising campaigns are created for use in both markets, though the needs and attitudes of 130 local markets are taken into consideration. Only one model is used to advertise a particular product around the world, and colors advertised are chosen based on which have the widest appeal. Local markets are expected to promote the products given global priority by Revlon, but after meeting the priorities, they may promote other cosmetics if such promotions have been approved by corporate headquarters.
