Translation + Compliance + Adaptation

That’s the key formula for localisation in the world of CPG.

Localised content for labelling and marketing purposes has a tricky balance to strike: it has to appeal to local consumers while still playing by the particular rules of the market.

Thanks to our innovative technologies, unrivalled blend of experience in translation and compliance and our vast global network of specialists, we can show brands exactly what, how and why their labels and messaging can be improved. And then we can implement the changes directly and continue to keep these critical assets updated and on point.

When content localisation meets creative production…

We work alongside design teams – internal and external – to optimise large scale global product launches through:

Multilingual
Content

We take a targeted approach to compliant labelling and messaging translation for CPG brands

Multimarket
Compliance

Each country legally requires that brands make specific information available to consumers at point of sale

Multichannel
Adaptation

To accommodate conflicting specications within the various marketing formats, brands need to rely on their marketing matrix

Fresh thinking.
