Somebody asserted the problem rather than a document recording it. Who said it, and whether they had a stake, is named below.
How we know
The brief was to "Develop a unified global creator strategy designed to maintain Barilla's brand voice while allowing for local market adaptation", across Italy, Brazil, Germany and Switzerland for Barilla and Sweden, Denmark and Italy for Wasa.
