Navigating the differences across cultures is a tricky business. Often, we have a bad habit of looking at the impact of culture retrospectively, of seeing the mistakes made and misalignments after the bulk of the work is done and marketing funds spent.

Ben, Account Director at the world’s leading ad agency network, McCann Central, and James, Head of Commercial at Comtec, discuss how global businesses should approach the translation and local market review and process, as well as the added value those bring to Ben’s work.
