Unique clients, unique projects
Today, more than ever, businesses need to tailor their communications to reach a variety of stakeholders and clients worldwide. The speed with which information travels combined with the Internet's overwhelming influence has led to a major shift: gone are the days when growing companies needed to "think local but act global". Today, it is the reverse: you need to think global but act local.
That's where the Quill's tailored services come in. We work with you to devise the right messages for specific targets and weave the expressions to carry them forth. English may be the lingua franca in international business, yet what will resonate in New York can miss its mark in Amsterdam.
Whatever your communication channel
Research on spoken communication models demonstrates that 7% of messages about attitudes are transmitted by words (verbal), 38% by the manner in which they are spoken (vocal), and 55% by facial expressions and body language (non verbal).
When the visual channel does not exist, the importance of language (word choice and its cultural attribute) and expression (style matters!) is paramount.

*Baloney: American slang meaning nonsense.
