Google’s astounding new ‘Google Motion’ development, which has more than a passing resemblance to Microsoft’s Kinect system, is based on using body gestures for emailing.

The question is, is Google motion really the new way for us to communicate?

All of us at MetafocusGlobal are very excited about this innovation. Why not see for yourself why Google Motion will change everything?…

Is Google Motion to rival Xbox kinnect?

My name is Alesia. I’ve just joined the lovely Metafocus team in Nottingham and hoping for many happy and productive years at Metafocus.

Alan and Sophie

After some days in our new offices in Chengdu, China, Alan had to start preparing for his interview with Sophie from the British Chamber of Commerce in China. In the interview, Alan discussed why MetafocusGlobal chose Chengdu as our China base, how the online marketing environment in China differs from marketing in the UK, and key elements that companies need to consider when they plan their online marketing strategy. The interview can now be viewed online on the British Chamber of Commerce website.

After the interview, MetafocusGlobal took the member of Britcham out for a celebration meal.

The Lanbridge Team

Alan then spent a couple of days in Chongqing visiting various customers such as car manufacturer Lifan, Naide Endurance and Chana Automobile. Back in Chengdu Alan was joined by our translation partner Andrew Schlich from AST Languages Ltd. In order for Andrew to get a better understanding of the Chinese translation market, MetafocusGlobal had arranged various visits to Chinese translation houses such as Lan-Bridge.

Global Online Marketing Seminar

While Andrew accompanied by Tonny, our Sales Manager, learnt more about translation in China, Alan had to prepare for his seminar at the Tianfu Sunshine Hotel on the 10th of January. The Global Online Marketing Seminar was organised and promoted in conjunction with the British Chamber of Commerce in Southwest China and with SCOCIE (Szechuan Chamber of Commerce for Import and Exporters). The seminar was attended by the MetafocusGlobal team, our customers and by other organisations and was a huge success.

Meal with KLT

A positive outcome of the seminar was that one of our potential customers KLT Carbide, who specialises in manufacture of high quality cemented carbides, hard-facing materials and special powders, invited the MetafocsGlobal team out for lunch. This in Chinese culture is an important step in order to secure trust and business relationship. We are now preparing a comprehensive proposal for KLT and are looking forward to working with them!

After a relaxing weekend and some sightseeing in Chengdu, Alan and Elisabeth returned back to the UK on the 17th of Janurary.
