Transcreation

A professional service that delivers your marketing and advertising messages to discerning audiences across the world.

Transcreation or Creative Translation?

Transcreation is the art (and science) of taking your creatively conceived and written content and creating local-language versions that convey your original concepts, supporting your marketing strategy.

Typically transcreation is applied to advertising campaign copy, or content that must connect emotionally with your audience, or where subtle nuances need to be conveyed.

But, not all content needs transcreation. Sometimes Creative Translation is the right solution for content that needs to maintain a defined style or ToV, but where the challenges aren’t as complex.

Keeping you in control

How do we know if what’s been created for one market will work in another?
We check it out using our global network of experts. Their local market insight ensures every aspect of your local-language version resonates positively with your target audience.
We’ll also provide you with the results of our research.

How do we do it?

The starting point is to understand your goals – what is the reaction you need to get from your audience?

Then we consider if your creative strategy will work in other cultures, in other languages? What are the challenges and how do we resolve these, so as to ensure the local versions create the right reactions?

We also need to consider the delivery method; web site, voice-over for corporate video or TV advertising campaign, digital campaign or in print, editorial or advertorial

Only then do we start the process of creating local-language versions that meet your criteria.

How will you know what’s being said?

We will work with your local-market teams, keeping you in the loop so that you can make informed decisions.
 
Or back-translate into English, ensuring that you can choose the best options with confidence.

Do we say it this way, or that?

Invariably your copywriter will have created alternatives for you to consider as part of the creative development process.

The same will apply to your local-language versions. It’s normal to present several options.
