The Rockstar CMO Studio: Cathy, Fields, and Meadows

This week, Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear, makes her monthly visit to the studio. This week, she and Ian discuss localization, which remains a hot topic when publishing content, and she shares her experience working with international clients.  Some talking points from this week: Companies often confuse translation and localization The stats that show the benefits of good localization Local knowledge is vital for cultural awareness Content strategies often fall apart when treated as an afterthought Localization impact on UX and creative AI and technology alone cannot solve localization challenges. A catch-up on Adobe Summit and their focus on AI As always, we welcome your feedback.
