Abstract:
We exist in a diverse world in which we are greatly influenced by our culture. Our preferences, attitudes and beliefs are all shaped by external factors that are outside our consciousness. Successful marketers must account for these differences when advertising products. This research paper examines the cultural differences in advertisements from the United States and Spain through the lens of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.
