Thanks for meeting with us, David. We're launching a major advertising campaign in Japan, and we really need your insights on cultural adaptation.

David (Male)
My pleasure, Sarah. I’m happy to help. What are your main concerns regarding the Japanese market, specifically with your current campaign concepts?
我的荣幸,莎拉。我很乐意帮忙。你们对日本市场的主要担忧是什么,特别是针对你们目前的广告活动概念?

John (Male)
Well, our global campaign uses a lot of bold, direct imagery and slogans. We're wondering if that might come across as too aggressive or even impolite in Japan. We want to avoid any cultural missteps.
嗯,我们的全球广告活动使用了许多大胆直接的图像和宣传语。我们想知道这在日本是否会显得过于激进,甚至是不礼貌。我们想避免任何文化上的失误。

David (Male)
That's a very valid concern. Japanese culture often values subtlety, harmony, and indirect communication. Overly direct messaging or aggressive visuals could indeed be counterproductive.
这是一个非常合理的担忧。日本文化通常重视含蓄、和谐和间接沟通。过于直接的信息传递或激进的视觉效果确实可能会适得其反。

Sarah (Female)
Exactly. What about testimonials? We planned to feature diverse individuals confidently stating our product benefits. Would that translate well, or should we consider a different approach?
没错。那关于用户证言呢?我们计划让不同背景的人自信地陈述我们产品的好处。这能很好地转化吗,还是我们应该考虑不同的方法?
6
David (Male)
Testimonials can work, but the 'confidence' needs to be framed carefully. Humility and a focus on community benefit, or expert endorsement, often resonate more than individual assertiveness. And make sure the imagery reflects local norms and beauty standards.
用户证言可以奏效,但“自信”的表达需要仔细斟酌。谦逊、对社区利益的关注或专家认可通常比个人自信更能引起共鸣。而且要确保图像反映当地的规范和审美标准。

John (Male)
That's insightful. So, perhaps more emphasis on the product's quality and how it fits into a harmonious lifestyle, rather than a direct challenge to competitors, for instance?
这很有见地。那么,也许更多地强调产品的质量以及它如何融入和谐的生活方式,而不是直接挑战竞争对手,举例来说?

David (Male)
Precisely. Focus on aspects like 'craftsmanship,' 'reliability,' or 'contributing to well-being.' Subtlety, respect, and 'reading the air' – atmosphere – are paramount. Avoid anything that could be perceived as disruptive or individualistic to a fault.
正是如此。着重强调“匠心”、“可靠性”或“有益于福祉”等方面。微妙、尊重和“察言观色”——即氛围——至关重要。避免任何可能被视为破坏性或个人主义至上的内容。

Sarah (Female)
This is incredibly helpful. It sounds like we need to significantly re-evaluate our messaging to lean into more indirect, relationship-focused narratives and visuals. Thank you so much, David.
这非常有帮助。听起来我们需要大幅重新评估我们的信息传递方式,使其更倾向于间接、以关系为重点的叙事和视觉呈现。非常感谢您,戴维。
