Beyond Bilingual Labels – Growing Markets for Healthy, Organic Food

Laura McLeod2021-05-14T16:20:22-07:00February 6th, 2014|Bilingual Packaging|

In Canada, bilingual labels are a translation company’s bread and butter, and companies that make bread and butter need translation companies! This symbiotic business relationship is not only bound by law; it’s bound by common sense. If you want your food product to reach as many markets as possible, speaking to people in their native language is the first step.

From Our CEO: Multicultural Marketing or The Art of Engagement

In communities like Brampton and Markham in Greater Toronto, or Richmond and Surrey in Vancouver’s Lower Mainland, there are enough customers and employers who speak specific non-official languages to allow immigrants to earn a living in their native language.

From our CEO – Cultural Diversity and the Marketplace

Laura McLeod2022-09-08T20:52:25-07:00December 5th, 2013|Cultural Marketing|

Canadian cities are increasingly diverse. By 2031, 78% of Toronto's population will be either foreign-born or born in Canada from immigrant parents. In Vancouver, over 70%. Diversity in the workplace has been a popular theme for many years, but the next step for companies to differentiate themselves will be to connect with our cities’ growing Chinese, Indian, Filipino and Hispanic populations. LAT President Lise Alain reflects on the need for cultural diversity in marketing.
