Cultural Meme Marketing for Global Brands | Using Humour to Win International Markets
Meme it, Market it, Make it Global!
In a world where attention spans are shrinking, memes and troll-style humor have become the most powerful form of engagement. But not all memes are created equal.
At Hoysala’s Meme & Troll Marketing Hub, we believe in memes that are positive, culturally aware, and globally relevant.
Whether you're exporting pickles to the USA or importing perfumes from Dubai, a single meme can do what 5 ads can't — go viral and make your brand unforgettable.
