During the 1980s, the advertising industry experienced a series of changes worldwide. As multinational corporations entered new markets, their advertising partners followed suit by either merging with purchasing local agencies. Many of these changes where a direct consequence of the early stages of globalization, manifested in a surge in neoliberal policies around the world (Leslie, 1995). For advertising practitioners, this has had important consequences that academics are just now exploring. In many instances, it is too early to comprehend the ramification of concentration of marketing communication agencies into global conglomerates. However, as advertising agencies work in tandem with their large corporate clients in multiple nations, there appears to be a push toward the standardization of business practices.
