Culture
• P & G showed an animated stork delivering Pampers diapers in its ad campaigns in the US. The same ad copy was used in Japan, only the language was changed. However, this ad did not work in Japan. The subsequent market research revealed that, unlike the Western folklore, storks, according to the Japanese folklore, are not expected to deliver babies.
• On the contrary, Japanese people believed that it is the giant peaches that float on the river that bring babies to the deserving parents. Subsequently, P&G changed the theme of the ad campaign to ‘expert mom’, a nurse who is also a mother theme.
