So it’s going well with your business and you want to expand your horizons? Online advertising is the tool to help you scale up and cross borders!

What do we mean by internationalisation?

In a business context, internationalisation refers to the process of expanding a company’s operations beyond its domestic market and engaging in global trade. It involves entering foreign markets, adapting products or services to suit different cultures, and understanding international regulations and business practices.

Internationalisation offers benefits such as accessing new customers, diversifying revenue, and gaining a competitive edge. Companies can achieve this through activities like exporting, establishing subsidiaries or joint ventures, licensing, franchising, or forming strategic alliances.

Successful internationalisation requires understanding cultural nuances, legal frameworks, and market dynamics in different countries. It is a complex process that demands adaptability and flexibility to thrive in the global marketplace.


How can online advertising help you with internationalisation?

One of the biggest advantages of online marketing versus traditional, offline marketing is that there are no geographical limitations. You can easily set up campaigns in any country, in any language.

However, when it comes to marketing and internationalisation, it is important that you don’t just copy paste your advertising and run it through Google translate. It’s good to have an understanding of the country, culture and business landscape of the country you are expanding to. For instance: you want to make a list of local competitors, so that you can use this in your Google Search campaign.

With online marketing you can easily run campaigns in any region you want and get reports on each separate location, so that you can learn what works where and act accordingly.

How can we help you in deciding on your (internationalisation) strategy?

Our customers are different every time. Advertisers selling the exact same products can turn out to need a very different approach due to different margins, different secondary USPs, different setups of marketing teams, and different levels of online savviness. That’s why for each customer, but also for each project within the customers’ organisation, we create a custom plan, every time.

First we’ll need to understand the customers’ organisation and the objectives. By making them quantifiable, we will understand what the boundaries are of how to ‘play the online game’. Then we will dive into your data to understand the current situation and look for opportunities. In order to come up with the right (branding) strategy.

We believe that if both sides – the customer and we as the agency – bring their knowledge to the table, we can make the most successful strategies. That is why we need to get to know each other very well, have clear success metrics in place, we need to zoom out regularly, and always keep an open conversation.


We always make a tailored plan for each of our clients. With these 4 steps, together we will come up with the right online strategy, in line with your overall objectives.

1
Getting to know each other

First, we would like to learn more about your organization, objectives, timeline, and needs. We will explain our services and approach to determine whether there is a match between our organizations. If there is, we can move on to step two.

2
Account Deepdive

Next, we would like to conduct an account deep dive to gain insights that will help us create a fitting proposal. We will use data to determine the channel mix, messaging, and data and tech needs.

3
Proposal Presentation

During our (video) meeting, we will present our proposal outlining our suggested online strategy. We will provide you with different scenarios and related fees, and there will be plenty of time for questions.

4
Let’s start!

After you have reviewed our proposal and selected the scenario that best fits your needs and situation, we can begin working immediately. We look forward to working closely with you to achieve success!

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can Hide and Seek manage my social media for me?

What makes online advertising different from traditional/offline advertising such as outdoor, print, and TV ads?

While traditional advertising channels can still work great as part of a holistic marketing strategy, switching to or at least including online advertising has a few significant advantages: 1. Targeting: Online advertising allows for highly targeted advertising based on user behavior, demographics, interests, and other factors. This allows advertisers to reach the specific audience they want, instead of a broad audience. 2. Cost-effectiveness: Online advertising is generally more cost-effective than traditional offline advertising. This is because online ads can be targeted to specific audiences and the cost per click or impression can be adjusted based on the advertiser’s budget. 3. Measurability: Online advertising allows for detailed tracking and measurement of ad performance. Advertisers can track clicks, impressions, conversions, and other metrics in real time. This allows advertisers to optimize their campaigns for better results. 4. Flexibility: Online advertising allows for more flexibility in terms of ad formats, placements, and timing. Advertisers can choose from a variety of ad formats, including text, display, video, and social media ads. They can also choose where and when their ads are displayed. 5. Global reach: Online advertising allows for global reach, allowing advertisers to target customers in different countries and regions. This can be especially beneficial for businesses with an international customer base.
