This report focuses on the importance of localisation in bringing successful commercial growth with insights of eight leading marketers from global brands, for whom localisation is a priority.

This report covers:

  • Why there is a world of difference between simple translation and brand localisation.
  • What a localised company culture looks like to build success for the future.
  • Where outsourcing localisation efforts can accelerate growth, particularly in markets that are culturally far removed from the company’s home territory.
  • How automation and human resource must necessarily work together to build an efficient but authentic localisation experience.
