About Daniel Lal

Content writer for Seapoint Digital Marketing and Wild China Travel; head of Seapoint International, a marketing program of Seapoint Digital Marketing which helps companies in China and Southeast Asia overcome the difficulties of intercultural marketing- My family is of Indian descent by way of Fiji, so my family’s Hindi and food are different from what you would find in India. My grandfather moved the family to the United States, which is why I was born in Berkeley, CA. Although I don’t speak Hindi, I did learn Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I moved to New York at 19 years old to volunteer at an international, non-profit organization, where I was trained in interpersonal communication, customer service, and providing training to others. After 14 years of volunteer service, I got married and moved to China with my wife. We arrived in China in 2016 and have been studying language and culture while also learning from our own personal cultural exchange at home (my wife is from Colombia). Between my family history and living in various places (with Colombia at home), I’ve learned that our personal growth happens because of others, and that you can connect with anyone on earth if you are willing to accept, learn about, empower, and invest in them- Reaching out to individual people is the short- and long-game of business growth and brand development, and when the long-game involves interacting with clients from a culture you don't understand, it can feel really, really long. But, just like our personal growth, business growth happens because of others - our clients - and our ability to accept, learn about, empower, and invest in them.
