Although LSPs of different sizes tend to compete for different types of clients there is occasionally some overlap. In a world where we are constantly reminded of all the mergers and acquisitions that are happening and where more and more translation companies are betting on size and scale as a differentiator it is important to remember that in this industry of scope, not scale, there are still plenty of opportunities for smaller competitors to win.About Filipe:Filipe Tiago Stankovic is a young and very motivated CEO who has been working as such for the last 3 years. He originally started by getting his hands dirty and being involved in every possible step imaginable of the company. Now he is a bit more focused on (just) management. He loves learning and has been truly blessed by an opportunity (although sometimes burden :p ) very few young people get: to be in charge and to be able to actually try his new ideas from all the books he reads.About Nimdzi Live:There is a shadow industry driving the growth of ALL global brands: Localization. Let’s talk globalization, localization, translation, interpretation, language, and culture, with an emphasis on how it affects your business, whether you have a scrappy start-up or are working in a top global brand.Would you like to be a guest on Nimdzi Live?

Gabriel Karandyšovský is the Managing Editor at Nimdzi Insights LLC, which is a market research and international consulting company that focuses on the language services industry. Launched in 2017, Nimdzi Insights brings together localization analysts, international business consultants, and a variety of other experts and researchers, who help companies make better decisions around going global. Originally from Slovakia, Gabriel speaks seven languages and has a degree in International Business from the Sorbonne University in Paris.

Often neglected, a proper Internationalization makes Localization easier. And cheaper too - the sooner you discover an issue, the less it costs to fix it. Here are 17 tips from Nimdzi on what to consider when you want to get the internationalization right. More topics: - Gary Vaynerchuk strikes back. Finally, a new article that talks about contextual messaging for targetting users, a.k.a. Hyper-Personalization. This is the future and localization will need to adapt. No more translating vanilla stuff for the whole China, yes pls... - Geofencing allows you to track online-offline conversion better. Somehow this marketing article ended up in my podcast. What do you think will be the impact on localization? This podcast was recorded on a live stream. I started my Twitch channel with the goal to show localization live. 100% transparency, 0% bullshit.
