Back in March I made what was going be the biggest decision of my year when I took a position at Wings4U, a company with remote working at its core. Before that, I was working at an advertising agency, doing crazy hours and never seeing daylight. I was having an existential crisis roughly every two months! “What am I doing with my life?” I asked myself, “is this worth all the time I’m spending here?” I wondered when something cool and adventurous would happen. I didn’t know what life had in store.

Localisation of B2B marketing content for markets abroad has become more than just translation. In this digital era, new technologies like predictive analytics and machine learning let marketers observe the nuances of buyer behaviour - enabling them to target buyers at just the right time.

Customer reviews are transforming marketing strategies, and it’s fair to say that marketers no longer have full control over their product’s branding. Market research and our own experience with our clients show that enterprise buyers are increasingly valuing and searching for transparent and unbiased information on your products and services. What this means is, they are no longer browsing through your website and pricing pages to form an opinion, but are actually looking to find information written by other users about their experience and thoughts on your brand, on third-party websites and alternative channels.

The nature of business emails may change depending on your working situation, but some things remain constant – there will be times when you really need a reply to your email. Some people regularly have hundreds of unread emails waiting for them. To avoid your email being scanned and left unanswered, it better be super easy to reply to, or super hard to ignore. Marking an email as ‘high importance’ just doesn't cut it anymore. It’s all about communication – the most highly valued business skill today.
