Asian Hispanic Russian KI began in 1986 as an Asian market specialist. In our more than a decade of work, we have conducted interviews in virtually every major Asian language and dialect (e.g., Mandarin and Cantonese, Tagalog and Ilocano, as well as Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Laotian), as well as Spanish and Russian. We are more than language specialists: we have a full appreciation of how culture and experience, not just language, influence consumer (and other) behavior - including how they respond to questions, and how cultural subtleties direct their responses.
