Introduction

Hello and welcome to my new website! This has really been a long time coming and I’m so excited to finally get this show on the road.

It takes some translators a long time to figure out how they want to specialise, but I knew from really early on that I wanted to be a creative marketing translator. I like words and I like writing, but more than that, I like that language has the power to make a reader feel a certain way. Marketing translation makes you responsible for recreating a mood or an image in another language – it’s about so much more than the words on the page. And that’s always been right up my street.

This blog is a place where I’ll post about things that interest me as a creative marketing translator. I’m going to keep these posts short and sweet, but (hopefully!) informative and entertaining. I’ll start by discussing transcreation and the benefits of hiring a specialist marketing translator, and then I guess we’ll see how it goes from there!
