Transcreation

Today’s consumers expect information to be available in their native languages. Is your content living up to your global brand voice across markets? 

Creative, customer-centric global marketing strategies

When communicating your brand internationally, words may take on new meanings, images may have different implications and colors may suggest other emotions. While in China customers prioritize design and bright colors, in Germany credibility and authenticity are key to telling the story. 

So, when it comes to your international marketing strategy, how can you be sure you don’t lose the essence of your carefully crafted messaging? 

The answer? Transcreation.

Content marketing across borders: different purposes, different localization approaches

Most companies are unhappy with their current marketing translations – are you investing in the right services to scale your content marketing efforts? 

If you’re looking at purely informational messages that don’t need cultural context and won’t be subject to any misinterpretations, a standard translation might be the best choice. For example, when you are adapting content like technical brochures, the focus is on factual and technical accuracy, using a smooth, readable style. 

When it comes to your brand’s personality, a simple transfer to the target language won’t do – as correct as it may be. The tone might be too familiar or too formal for some markets, similar words can evoke a different context in different languages. To ensure your statement is still strong, but easily accepted by the target audience you need professional marketing translation. 

When you want to create the same feeling or reaction, inciting a call to action or evoking confidence across different audiences, you need to consider all cultural peculiarities. In this case, transcreation allows you to recreate the same impact of the source message. The focus is not on technical accuracy, but more preserving your message’s intent. The approach is creative, with importance on your audience engagement and the campaign conversion goals.
