The firm's marketing team has never before created a marketing plan for potential clients outside of mainstream American culture. The firm now has been tasked with designing marketing plans for the firm's major products of cosmetics and women's clothing that will reach specific cultures your firm has targeted: Chinese, Phillipines, and Russian. Some team members are panicked, feeling they have no familiarity with the cultures to target clients there. Others believe it will be no different from marketing to mainstream American customers.
