What does it take to strategize in changing times? In today’s dynamic landscape, crafting a strategy that drives growth while adapting to our customers' evolving needs is essential—but it can be challenging, don’t you agree? These past few weeks in Ericeira have been the perfect opportunity for the Keylingo team to shape our 2025 Strategy and align our vision for the future. While I really enjoy it, strategizing can feel overwhelming, but strong leadership is key (shoutout to Frederick 😎). By reflecting on our business assumptions and wishlist, analyzing past initiatives, and identifying risks and opportunities, we’ve focused on what matters most. Prioritizing our customers—understanding their challenges and anticipating their needs—allows us to create a roadmap that delivers genuine value. The real secret? Collaboration. Huge kudos to Ludmila, Virginia, Kristina, and Alexis for bringing diverse perspectives that sparked creativity and innovation to develop solutions that truly resonate with Keylingo. A clear, customer-centric strategy not only fuels our growth but also ensures we continue to provide solutions that empower our clients to succeed globally. I’ve loved this process, and I’m excited for what’s next for Keylingo! #KWAP24 #Strategy2025 #CustomerSuccess #TeamCollaboration #Innovation

🛒 What role does localization play in Global E-commerce? In today’s digital age, expanding your e-commerce business globally is more than just translating your website—it’s about localizing your entire customer experience. Why? Because localization ensures that your products, marketing, and communication resonate with customers in every region you operate. Here’s how localization can transform your global e-commerce strategy: 🔑 Tailored Customer Experience From currency and payment options to product descriptions and customer service, localization makes your online store feel familiar and trustworthy to international customers. 💬 Cultural Relevance Understanding local customs, preferences, and languages ensures your messaging speaks directly to your audience, driving higher engagement and loyalty. 🚀 Increased Conversion Rates Localized websites convert better because they remove barriers to purchase, creating a seamless path for customers to buy, no matter where they’re located. At Keylingo, we specialize in localization services that help global businesses unlock new markets and build strong relationships with international customers. 💡 Ready to localize your e-commerce strategy?

Embracing Vulnerability and Connection at KWAP24 🌿 Last weekend during #KWAP24, we hit pause for a group yoga class and what was supposed to be a relaxing session turned into something much deeper. By the end, emotions took over, and we found ourselves crying together. I’ll admit it, I was the first one to start crying! 😂 But honestly, this experience hit me hard in the best way possible. It gave me the space to pause and reflect, not just on this amazing journey, but on how much personal and professional growth has come from moments like these. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of Keylingo, where we don’t just work together—we grow, connect, and create unforgettable memories in amazing places. For me, these shared moments—whether in the office or on a yoga mat— make our collaboration even stronger. It’s the real, authentic connections that lead to the best ideas and the most impactful work. 🌟 Maria Emilia Maisterrena Frederick Marx Virginia Careto Alexis Ortega Kristina Kurina What about you? What moments have helped you connect more deeply with yourself or your team? I’d love to hear your stories! 💬 #KWAP24 #TeamCollaboration #PersonalGrowth #AuthenticConnections

🌊 Reflecting on #KWAP24: Building Culture and Pushing Boundaries One of the most impactful parts of our Keylingo Work Abroad Program is gathering our remote, global team in person. Once a year, we have the opportunity to not only work side by side but also share personal time—deepening connections that go far beyond any office walls. The time we spend together creates lasting bonds, increases motivation, and strengthens our sense of unity as a global team. This year’s retreat in Ericeira, Portugal, was filled with invaluable moments. One of the highlights was our surf lesson at Praia do São Julião. Surfing for the first time teaches you so much about yourself and, in turn, valuable lessons that apply directly to work: 🏄♂️ Responding to failure – Just like falling off the board, it’s about how quickly you get back up and try again. 🏄♂️ Taking calculated risks – Reading the waves and choosing the right moment to act, much like business decisions. 🏄♂️ Celebrating successes – Whether it’s catching your first wave or hitting a milestone at work, every success is worth celebrating. 🏄♂️ Stepping outside your comfort zone – Being in the ocean pushes your limits, just like embracing new challenges in the workplace. The KWAP is more than just a work retreat—it’s a chance to grow personally and professionally, share moments that matter, and bring those experiences back into our daily work life with a renewed sense of purpose. 💬 How do you ensure your team feels connected in a remote setting? Let’s discuss in the comments! Virginia Careto Ludmila Albelo Maria Emilia Maisterrena Alexis Ortega #GlobalTeam #TeamCulture #Leadership #GrowthMindset

So proud of our VP of Operations, Virginia, for stepping out of her comfort zone and tackling a new challenge at #KWAP24 —her first surfing experience! 🏄♀️🌊 Her story is such a great reminder to our entire team that pushing through fear leads to incredible growth, both personally and professionally. The lessons she learned—patience, persistence, and enjoying the process—are values we live by at Keylingo, and they make us stronger as a team. Way to go, Vir! What challenge will you tackle next? 💪 #KeylingoWorkAbroad #GrowthMindset #TeamCollaboration
