One Central Point has been working with its global partners to provide advertising opportunities for clients interested in reaching the British multicultural population on their favourite and most popular international sites. This population is growing in size, connectivity and wealth yet maintains strong cultural links with home. The sites they use keep them up to date with their roots allowing them to follow the political updates, see the results from the weekend’s sports and catch-up on entertainment gossip. Using these sites is as routine as checking the Facebook newsfeed and seeing what Stephen Fry just tweeted.
