ACCULTURATED Copywriting
ACCULTURA gathers seasoned communications and cultural intelligence expertise, allowing its team to write engaging content to effectively reach targeted publics, readerships, and audiences – in their language, according to their cultural codes.
Organizations that interact with workforces, clients and partners from different cultures must continually adjust their written communications. Not only must they use the appropriate language, but they must also consider the culture and cultural groups they address.
Cultural diversity and writing – 3 considerations
Ubiquitous global and local cultural diversity imposes new considerations for internal and external communications. Before publishing any content, from far-reaching marketing materials to internal emails, communicators must address several cultural aspects.
1st consideration – The language of communication
Writing adequate and compelling copy entails first choosing the language of communication. This might be simple for unilingual organizations. But for organizations with bilingual or multilingual workforces or markets, this can be a tricky issue that can generate misunderstandings or even major conflicts. They must first select a primary language of communication and then consider translation.
2nd consideration – Linguistic diversity
Linguistic diversity matters, particularly when people of the same language but from different cultures interact. For example, when an organization of English Canadian origin communicates with another organization from the U.S. or the U.K. This carries its own set of linguistic challenges, especially when they must produce communications for the entire English-speaking audiences on both sides of the border or the Atlantic.
Consideration 3 – Cultural diversity
A third challenge is to create content that will appeal to specific cultural groups, which may also intersect. By cultural groups, we mean not only different nationalities or ethnicities but also groups that make up the entire cultural diversity spectrum, including various genders, generations, business or professional sectors, social groups, etc.
Writing effective communications is a strategic priority for organizations that extend or do business internationally or that work with bilingual or multicultural teams, clients, or partners.
