Globalism Consulting

Globalism Consulting (GC) is an occasional cross-cultural communications service that brings together my record of managing projects and events, my grounding in a range of media, and experience of working with people from widely different backgrounds.

WORK

GC was commissioned by the Tanzanian Embassy in Japan to investigate and advise on an online tourism project, the first official Japanese-language tourism website for Tanzania. This involved:

• Performing extensive research on Tanzania as a destination, behaviour and activities of Japanese tourists, and the Japanese travel market.

• Sourcing and coordinating project and affiliate partnerships.

• Devising campaign and communications frameworks, plus marketing strategy, and drafting site architecture.

• Writing legal documents and contracts, and handling project negotiations between parties.

The site went online in 2008 and can be found here.
