Background
editAnholt was born to British parents. The family was based in the Netherlands until Anholt was five, when they moved to Surrey in south-east England. He attended a boarding school and went on to study social anthropology at Oxford University.
After graduation, Anholt worked for advertisers McCann Erickson on international cultural issues, then launched a firm, World Writers, which offered to advertisers first-language cultural adaptation rather than simply translation.[4]
