Times are tough. Resources are tight. In this economy, marketers are under increasing pressure to do more with less. Scrutinizing your advertising—and advertising research budget—invariably leads to discussions around multinational ad transferability. Before you make a decision to extend or adjust, consider these strategies to ensure that transferability isn’t just possible –but probable.

Creative Is King

While there are many lessons to share around advertising transferability, there is one learning that transcends all others.
