Is the phrase "convergent attack" acceptable in a marking article?
I'm currently translating a Chinese marketing article to English. There is a piece of text which can be literally translated into "putting resources in several related products and making a convergent attack to seize the market". I know the phrase "convergent attack" is quite a good metaphor in Chinese, but I doubt if it is acceptable to English readers? Does it sound offensive, aggressive or weird?

It sounds very unclear. convergent A more common word is 'converging'. But you need to explain how products can converge.
