OUR APPROACH
4. Ability to communicate
across global teams
Being able to communicate in different languages is
critical to the success of any international business,
as it aids people of different backgrounds to come
together and work toward a common goal.
Cross-border Marketing ❶
5. Content that matches
the culture
A deep understanding of the language, culture, and
values of the market, and the ability to localise content
accordingly, is essential to delivering messages that
resonate. This entails going beyond mere translation.
It requires sensitivity and a rich understanding of local
contexts.
Cross-border Marketing ❷
6. Cross-border Marketing ❸
Understanding
the target market
Before entering a new market, it is important
to have a thorough grasp of it. Developing

new markets. In this sense, partnering with local influencers is
key to succeeding in a new market. Such influencers provide
cultural insights specific to their region and serve to effectively
