In 2016, one of Australia’s most famous charities launched into the Hong Kong market. Would a brand so well known and respected in Australia work in a new market? What had to be adapted? What is universal?
“Think global, act local.” We’ve all heard that phrase before. But how true is it in the INGO environment? The Fred Hollows Foundation will deliver a workshop including a case study on how a charity selected a new market to enter. We’ll explore what challenges we faced entering the market, which elements of the Fred Hollows brand worked and which needed re-working. And finally what new challenges the organisation faced due to our new venture into international waters.
Learning outcomes
- Better understanding of entering a new market
