Highlight clip from the second Taguchi and Sesimi industry panel, featuring leaders from Accor, BYD, Kubota, and endota discussing how brands are scaling local marketing without losing control. 

Marketing leaders today are managing more locations, more channels, and more customer expectations with leaner teams and tighter budgets. At the same time, they face growing pressure to prove ROI, maintain governance, and support local operators who need to move quickly in their market.

For many brands, local marketing sits in the tension between central control and local relevance. Head office needs consistency, compliance, and visibility. Local teams need speed, flexibility, and tools that reflect operational reality. Both pressures are valid, but many organisations still rely on outdated workflows that satisfy neither side.

This Industry Perspective explores how brands including Domino’s, Baker’s Delight, Accor, Kubota, endota, and Brand USA are redesigning local area marketing across distributed networks. It shows why the strongest outcomes come when governance is built into execution, not added afterward.

Highlights you will uncover:

• Why approval chains reduce adoption, and how self service systems scale faster. 

• How ease of use increases participation across franchisees, dealers, stores, and local teams. 

• Why leading brands are reframing ROI around efficiency, consistency, and scalable output.

• How central teams can support hundreds of locations without proportional headcount growth.

• Why local relevance and brand control perform best when designed into the same workflow.
