Why You Need An International English Voice For Your Business

From internal corporate presentations, to worldwide commercials seen by millions – the English language remains king for reaching the maximum audience that you can without having to create dozens of localisations.

This might initially seem at odds with what you’ve come to believe about your international growth. After all, the common sense approach is for your business to localise its voice to the audience and territory that its trying to reach.

And yet studies have shown that simple and clear English slogans and voiceover perform better with audiences than even their own native language in many instances.

International English .

It’s become a completely normal sight, or should I say sound, in nearly every international territory, for English to be a widely used language for business.

From E-learning, to commercials, international corporate announcements, award ceremonies, audiobook narration and more… the English language is ever present even in nation’s where English isn’t the primary national language.

Whether communicating with your customers, or internally between different branches of your business; the English language is not only  a simple and streamlined way to communicate, but it has the added benefit of drastically cutting down your budgets by removing the need to localise your communications by using an international English voice for everything.
