One last suggestion re CCIs:

XX - We\'ve got all the talent you\'ll ever need...

Funny..I came back to this because it was really bothering me..and of course, I realized my mistake...

one has to complete the underlying conceptual elipsis to translate this..I think this is a great example of where one\'s reading, work and real life experience makes all the difference ....

thanks for the input - in the end I took a completely different tack and cut the slogan down to two words - nurturing talent - because this is an agricultural region and a lot of the text talks about nature - natural resources, nurtured by a dynamic (!) CCI... thanks again for your help

agree  suezen: where it pays to be talented is good too

  -> Thank you!
agree  cchat: I prefer the "where talent" ones, but they all seem OK.
1 hr
  -> Thanks
neutral  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): Ivé decided this is not the meaning..it means talent is ready to work for your company..this is a chamber of commerce and industry seeking to attract business. Business first wants something done for it. ...:)
2 hrs
  -> You may be right , Jane. Connor will know from the wider context. My take was that the CCI was promising that the company's "talent" would not go unnoticed.
