Applying the lessons of cultural integration to product marketing
What can volunteer work in the jungles of Central America teach us about product marketing? It turns out, quite a lot. In this presentation, you will be told the story of how adapting to cultural and linguistic landscapes, while living in a small indigenous community, can transform your PMM skills. This talk will discuss cultural empathy, language translation, and an ability to operate with limited resources, which is fundamental to creating resonant marketing narratives and new market opportunity. From working with community cooperatives to global corporations, many of the same lessons underlie success.
