The International Digital Journey
After analysing our work with thousands of exporting companies in the UK and 20 countries around the world, we noticed that every business goes through the same journey when preparing to sell online internationally.
We call this the International Digital Journey.
Step 1 - Educate: understand how digital channels can fasttrack your global growth
Step 2 - Activate: get a basic professional digital presence in place
Step 3 - Elevate: build a world-class digital presence you are proud of
Step 4 - Accelerate: optimise and expand your digital presence to drive online sales
Step 5 - Replicate: internationalise your digital presence for your first new market
Step 6 - Proliferate: expand your digital footprint globally fast.
The key to how it works is to find out where you are now and where you’d like to be based upon your international ambitions. Then you can drop right in and start at the right point. You might be just starting out with digital commerce or already further along looking to scale your global presence.
We’re here to fast-track you through all six steps of the International Digital Journey.
The Grow Global Dimensions for Success
Working with over 10,000 entrepreneurs and businesses over the past 15 years, all on their international digital journeys, we have identified 8 dimensions for success that every business needs.
The 8 dimensions for success are the building blocks that underpin your international digtial journey. It is crucial that every one of the 8 dimensions is implemented successfully, otherwise the outcome will be suboptimal. It’s like a house of cards that will come tumbling down if one is left out.
As you progress through every step of the International Digital Journey, the building blocks become more and more complex. But the opportunities become more golden!
We’re here to work with you to get every Dimension for Success in place.

The Secret to Unstoppable International Digital Growth
The crux of the matter is that if you’re only selling online on one channel, in one country and in one language (think an e-commerce store in the UK in British English), then you’ve only got one bite of the cherry…
Imagine if you were to sell online with 5 channels, into 5 countries and in 5 languages, then you could have 125 more sets of customers at your fingertips…
Now imagine 10 channels, 10 countries and 10 languages. How many more customers could you reach?
And why stop there? There’s 100s of digital channels, nearly 200 countries and 200 languages (with over a million speakers).
This is what we call Unstoppable International Digital Growth!
