Canada is the most multicultural country in the world, as a vast number of Canadians hail from different cultural origins. This mosaic of cultures makes it imperative for brands to adopt multicultural marketing.

It can be a challenge to communicate with a sense of humour in a diverse and multicultural society. Humour relies on words and phrases that are unexpected, playful, absurd, or ridiculous for their effect. Wordplays (puns), double-meanings, irony, satire, sarcasm, slapstick, or references shared by a common group can be lost in translation and can lead to misunderstandings. It is important to understand your audience when transcreating or transposing content.
