There is No Longer a Standard Approach to Marketing:

It’s important for companies within any industry to appropriately market to the evolving demographic in America. Significant changes in the American cultural landscape has made multicultural marketing a must in order to stay relevant in today’s consumer markets. Reaching linguistically and culturally diverse audiences is not always the easiest thing to do. Successfully penetrating diverse markets requires strategic language solutions and a deep understanding of the culture and region associated with the audience you’re targeting. Companies must establish personalized connections with multicultural consumers in order to convert them into buyers and potentially return customers. Marketers in the past used a more standardized approach to marketing, a one size fits all strategy. Currently that method no longer resonates with the melting pot of individuals thriving in American communities. Marketers today need to focus on personalized and tailored approaches that meet the emerging needs and wants that vary from culture to culture.

Transcreation, The Solution to Marketing to a Modern and Diverse American Population:

Transcreation aids companies in gaining attention from diverse consumer markets by linguistically, culturally and emotionally appealing to their senses through well thought out and tailored marketing strategies. Transcreation adapts or often times completely recreates marketing messages, campaigns and content as to create an equally compelling message that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. Every company has a message they utilize in order to entice consumers to buy their products. That same message may not translate well enough to attract diverse markets and this is why transcreation is necessary. A team of skilled and native speaking translators, copywriters, and graphic artists work together in order to connect your brand with the diverse audience you’re targeting. Local market insights, political influences, traditional customs, mannerisms, gestures, levels of conservatism, gender views, ideologies and regional pop culture are taken into consideration when transcreating marketing content. This complete awareness of language and culture is what allows transcreation to have such a positive effect on attracting multicultural customers.

If your brand is already established or if you’re just starting up, choose the target audience that is most relevant to your business and location and have your marketing material undergo the process of transcreation in order to appeal to that audience. Investing in transcreation will ensure a payoff for years to come as the diversity in America continues to rapidly grow. Stay ahead of the marketing curve and hire a professional language service company (LSC) to gain access to a transcreation specialists that can aid you with all your creative language needs.
