IBM Brand Consistency

This is a great example of customizing the brand message to a culture while keeping a consistent brand campaign. The same campaign for the ThinkPad runs globally. The layout style, font family, headline treatment and the intel logo placement are consistent across cultures and languages, while the individual ads are culturally targeted.
