French to English translations [PRO] Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations | | French term or phrase: entraîner dans le sillon | from a bio for an advertising/interactive media agency, for a new addition to the creative team:
XXX se propose d’entraîner dans le sillon du 2.0 (et du 3.0 naissant) les forces créatives de XXXXX pour que chaque action, chaque campagne chaque projet, soit conçu comme un modèle unique alliant communication, innovation et intégration...
I am not sure what entrainer dans le sillon means in this sense...sort of 'pull them into the groove' or move them to the next level...
I don't have to to translate it literally or word for word, but the gist of it would help.
BTW, it's Canadian french, in case that matters to answerers.
thanks. |
