Case:
Cultural Diversity in Product Development

Introducing the next big product from a global fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company.
Case Cultural Diversity in Product Development

Company Background

A global FMCG company, headquartered in Belgium, aims to launch a new range of personal care products targeting both Western and Middle Eastern markets.

Challenge

The company recognizes that beauty standards and personal care routines can vary significantly between these regions. A product that’s popular in Europe might not resonate in the Middle East and vice versa.

Solution Through Cultural Diversity

The company decides to create a diverse product development team with members from European countries and Middle Eastern nations like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

This ensures:

  • Insights into specific beauty rituals, ingredients, and scents preferred in the Middle East.
  • Understanding cultural sentiments, such as the significance of halal products in personal care.
  • Diverse perspectives on packaging, marketing narratives, and advertising strategies that would appeal to different cultural sensibilities.

Outcome

With the insights from their diverse team, the company successfully launched a range that catered to the unique needs of each market, resulting in increased sales and a strong brand presence across regions.

Having a culturally diverse team enabled the company to navigate the challenges of global markets effectively, turning potential pitfalls into opportunities for growth and innovation.
