The Business of Marketing
In the global language services industry, COVID-19 hit hard. We saw interpreting companies quickly switching gears to provide virtual remote interpreting. We saw just about every annual conference hop on the online conferencing bandwagan. And when it came to content marketing, many language services providers (LSPs) quickly pulled the plug. Truth is, we panicked. We felt the desire to instantly pause, take a deep breath, regroup, and figure out how to survive a very devestaging blow.
