The Value of a Good Story
Over the two decades of my career as a professional translator, I’ve come to understand how fundamental storytelling is in business communication. This is why I have made it my mission to help Italian organisations tell their brand stories to the world in English. My services include:
- Italian-to-English translation and transcreation
- Copywriting in English
- Copy editing and SEO on-page auditing of English-language content all to ensure your content marketing in English is as effective as it can be
A career and a passion…
As a bit of an introvert, I have always had a passion for language and for finding the best way to express an important idea, especially in writing. I take great pride and pleasure in collaborating with small businesses in Italy to help ensure that your brand storytelling strategies in English lead to success.
The power of collaboration…
I believe that collaborative relationships are essential in order to create high-quality, effective content. With each translation, the quality of both the source content and the translated text benefits from the positive feedback loop that arises between the translator and the content creator.
Get in touch today to find out how I can help ensure that your storytelling and content marketing efforts in English lead to actual sales!
