  • LocCamp and the importance of Student-led Initiatives (feat. Autumn Smith)

    Autumn Smith shares her experience leading TLM CampLoc and the value it adds to both students at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey (MIIS) and to the greater localization industry. Tucker and Autumn may also get into other topics Autumn is passionate about, such as the importance of evangelization from students to their previous colleges and high schools!

    Autumn is pursuing a Translation and Localization Management MA with a Localization specialization and her language of study is Japanese. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Autumn completed her undergraduate degree in Japanese and East Asian Studies. After graduation, she worked as an Assistant Language teacher for JET for 1 year and proceeded to work as a Community Manager for Japanese hospitality company, Cafe Company, for 2 years. While working at Cafe Company, she collaborated with a Japanese audio guide start-up, ON THE TRIP, where she currently works as a Freelance English Team Manager. She spent her summer working as a Localization Program Management intern at Facebook exploring product cross-functional localization workflow optimization and will be returning as a full-time LPM following graduation. During the school year, she is very involved in creating a new immersive learning experience initiative dubbed, CampLoc. This experience aims to give students of localization an opportunity to interact in a more hands-on way with key players and companies in the localization industry. In her leisure time, she enjoys cooking, cafe hopping, hiking, and binging her latest shows with friends.

  • TLM Mentorship Program at MIIS for Alumni and Students (feat. Caitlin Quiat)
    Today we talk with Caitlin Quiat about the TLM Mentorship Program, which is a mentorship program designed to connect alumni, students, and recent graduates from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS), and their efforts to create community within the localization industry. Through creating these connections, both mentor and mentee can benefit, by getting a glimpse into what students of localization are learning and the potential talent pool, as well as students being able to hear from current industry professionals and being able to receive advice and anecdotes from more experienced people within the industry. As this is a live conversation, we may delve into talking about other valuable programs, as well!
    Fo more information on the he TLM Mentorship Program, please visit their website here: https://sites.miis.edu/tlmmentorship/ (Signups will begin again in August, so keep an eye out!)

  • H&M Navigating Chinese Backlash (and other Geopolitical gossip you should know feat. Iryna Rogova)
    LIVE Pop-up Event with Iryna Rogova! We are talking Geopolitics today, so please bear with us!
    Apparently, these days, everything is taken as a direct offense and treated with a mutual backlash. Once a concern over forced labor of Uyghurs in the region of Xinjiang was publicly expressed by the retailer, it launched a whole national boycott, most likely enforced by the Chinese government. And again, one can see how Chinese marketing works. Their culture of influencers and celebrities as a primary marketing (or should I say anti-marketing) tool for any product is unequivocally powerful.
