Working Across Different Time Zones: Effective Global Communication

Operating across different continents and time zones might sound like a logistical nightmare. But at IG, it’s our unbeatable advantage.

With a project and account management team in London, UK, and a production team in Chennai, India, you might be wondering how it all works…

Despite the 5-hour time difference, both teams are constantly in communication with one another, mastering the art of global communication.

As a client of IG, you’ll benefit from the diverse expertise of our teams in the UK and India, strategically using the time difference to enhance productivity.

Organisation

Recently, we’ve expanded our client base by working with companies further afield, particularly in the US.

IG combines the quality and client engagement of a London agency with the speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of an offshore team.

Meaning that when you work with IG, we understand your preferences and are familiar with your style. IG can handle complex design requests, but also provide a quick turnaround.

Our team and workflows have been optimised to take advantage of the time difference between IG and our clients, developing exceptional organisational habits.

At IG’s core is a strong web of adaptable communication channels, ensuring you’re kept in the loop around the clock. Whether you prefer emails, phone calls or Teams, being flexible in communicating saves back and forth. Ultimately, it means you can spend more time on the things that matter.

Deliverables take on an even greater significance when working across time zones.

When working with IG, you’ll notice that tasks and projects glide effortlessly across time zones. The time zone advantage extends your working hours, speeding up project outcomes.

As an IG client, you’ll enjoy flexible schedules. Imagine sending requirements before winding down and waking up to IG propelling your project forward – a real overnight transformation.

This savvy use of time zones lets you rest while IG accelerates project timelines.

For example, if you’re often up late working on a presentation, you can send your work to IG the same night. Then you’ll have your project worked on by our Chennai team and sent back to you when you wake up.

Whether you’re a multi-national corporation looking to support your in-house team, or a start-up still finding your brand, we’re here to help.
