Getting your message across can be a challenge in the best of circumstances. And when you have to convey your message in a different language and different culture—the challenges multiply! The difficulties of translation and cross-cultural (mis)understanding were humourously illustrated by the 2003 movie ‘Lost in Translation', starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson—and filmed on location in Tokyo. In business—such problems can make the difference between success and failure. So what to do?How you avoid losing your message in translation—and successfully overcome the difficulties of cross-cultural communication—will be the main topic for our keynote speaker at this World Class Speaking Night.Thorsten Meyer is a marketing executive with extensive experience from Japan and Europe—at leading multinational companies within communications and marketing.

Thorsten has lived in Japan for 17 years and speaks fluent Japanese. After working for a few years in Europe, he returned to Japan in 2013 as Traffic Director for Ogilvy & Mather Japan—managing the company’s creative development process and internal resources to ensure maximum client satisfaction.Ogilvy & Mather is one of the world's largest marketing communications and advertising companies—with 450 offices in 120 countries and more than 10,000 employees.
