On this episode of The Native Experience, we welcome Josef Kubovsky, CEO of Nimdzi Insights.

In our conversation, we talk about localisation and the importance of understanding the intricacies and nuances of local markets. We discuss the role of branding companies in international expansion and address how critical errors in marketing campaigns, such as cultural insensitivity, can negatively impact the success of a product in a specific market.

We also discuss the Gartner Hype Cycle and AI, emphasising that while these tools can make our lives easier, they should not be blindly relied upon without human intervention. We highlight that the initial excitement and innovation trigger for AI tools is often followed by a need for careful evaluation and verification.

Joseph's unique blend of language, tech, and sales skills make him an absolute expert in the language industry. We hope this conversation helps you to provide an even greater native experience in both your personal and professional lives!
