Cultural Considerations – Japanese and American Differences
• Indirect rather than direct forms of expression are preferred in the messages
• There is often little relationship between ad content and the advertised product
• Only brief dialogue or narration is used in television commercials, with minimal explanatory content
• Humor is used to create a bond of mutual feelings• Famous celebrities appear as close acquaintances or
everyday people• Priority is placed on company trust rather than
product quality• The product name is impressed on the viewer with
short, 15-second commercials
