The Worldly Marketer newsletter  -   January 2017 edition

May the year ahead be one of

Guest article on the Moravia Blog:

Canadian Potential: Québec and Beyond


As I promised in last month's newsletter, here's the follow-up article to Marketing in Canada: Officially Bilingual, Proudly Multicultural, a guest post I wrote for the Moravia Blog.

In this second article, I look at the unique localization issues that businesses need to understand before entering Canada's second most populous province,  Quebec, where the official language is French.

I also provide some interesting country-wide statistics on Canadians' current  digital usage, including Internet penetration rates, mobile usage, social media preferences, and e-commerce habits.
