Breaking the language barrier for a stronger culture

Mercado Libre (MELI) is the largest e-commerce ecosystem in Latin America, with 138 million users and over $7.2bn in gross merchandise volume. Workplace is used by all 3,700 employees across 13 countries.

Why Workplace?

High-traffic, untargeted email groups made communication across countries and departments distracting and unproductive.

Business units were unaware of initiatives in other countries until well after launch. The company has grown quickly and was eager to hold onto their culture and connect Spanish and Portuguese-speaking employees.

Breaking language barriers
