There’s a myth that localisation only needs to happen in non-English speaking regions. It’s humour, imagery or our own local diversity, which may be missing from global D&I work. The challenge is to demonstrate and argue the uplift you can get from going down the hyper-localised route.

In today’s economic climate, the work for today’s regional marketers is pretty cut out. They need to show more engagement and better ROI with less resources. Customers desire personalised engagement experiences and are looking for more meaningful opportunities to engage with brands they love. While that sounds difficult with limited resources, for marketers, this translates into unleashing their creativity, building more authentic content and below-the-line campaigns to maximise the reach of their limited budgets and reap the rewards.
