the content operating system, end to end

One operation, from idea to conversion.

We decide where you should play, build the content and the system behind it, adapt it for every market, then measure and improve what it returns. Most enterprises buy these as separate projects from separate vendors and manage the seams themselves. We run all four stages under one agreement.

the operating model

Four stages. Every service has a home.

We organise the whole operation around four stages, from the first decision to the last measurement. Each of our service families lives in one of them, so you can see exactly where any piece of work sits and what it is meant to achieve.

01 IdeateDecide where to play and what will land. Market prioritisation, audience and cultural insight, and messaging architecture, so the investment goes where the return is.
02 Plan + createBuild the content and the engine behind it. Content planning and origination, source copy, glossary and termbase build, translation memory, style guides and workflow setup.
03 AdaptMake it work in every market. Translation, localisation and transcreation, multimedia and subtitling, delivered by in-market linguists: accuracy where the law demands it, culture where it earns trust, reinvention where it drives response.
04 OptimiseProve it is working, then make it work harder. Per-market performance measurement, multilingual SEO, iteration and continuous quality assurance. Translation ends when the file ships. Growth does not.
how you engage

One model. Five levels of care.

The four stages are what we do for your growth. These five tiers are how you engage us and how the work is priced: every piece of content routed to the level of care it actually needs, so you never overpay for creative work on routine content, and never risk automation on high-stakes content.

tier 1

Content throughput

Automated speed at scale

Who it's for: Product, e-commerce and support teams handling high volumes of dynamic content.

What you get: Machine translation tuned to your brand terms, automated ingestion, quality scoring and human spot-checks.

How it's priced: A monthly retainer sized to your content volume, in capacity bands rather than per word. You commit to a throughput band and draw against it, so cost is predictable and falls per unit as volume grows.

tier 2

Assured accuracy

Compliance-grade validation

Who it's for: Legal, compliance, clinical and technical leads.

What you get: Two senior linguists, certified translation, controlled terminology, audit trail.

How it's priced: A monthly retainer that reserves dedicated senior-linguist capacity and priority turnaround for your regulated work, so compliance briefs never wait in a general queue.

tier 3

Market localisation

Cultural adaptation

Who it's for: Regional marketing and product leaders entering new markets.

What you get: In-market adaptation of websites, apps, sales content and instructional media by resident linguists.

How it's priced: Scoped by quarter against your release and launch roadmap, so localisation is planned around real milestones rather than priced piece by piece.

tier 4

Creative intelligence

Transcreation for impact

Who it's for: Marketing and brand leaders launching global campaigns.

What you get: Transcreation, tagline work, cultural review and creative origination for the market.

How it's priced: Priced per campaign, scaled to its reach and media weight, because a flagship launch and a regional promo carry very different creative demands.

tier 5

Programme partnership

The whole operation, managed

Who it's for: Leadership teams wanting one accountable partner for all cross-border content.

What you get: A dedicated lead, custom engine tuning, quarterly business reviews, one controlled termbase, and routing across all tiers.

How it's priced: A single enterprise retainer covering the whole operation and agreed service levels, replacing several separate vendor contracts with one predictable monthly cost.

how we route your content

Three questions decide where each piece goes.

;

Risk

What does it cost if a sentence is wrong? High risk goes to human validation or expert transcreation. Low risk goes to automated throughput.

Repetition

How structured and repetitive is the source? Highly repetitive content gets automation leverage while bespoke content gets human hands.

§

Latitude

Must it match the source exactly, or must it recreate the same effect? Strict fidelity is validated closely and high creative latitude is transcreated.

You never pay for transcreation on content that only needs throughput, and you never risk automation on content that has to be exactly right.

how we price

Predictable retainers without the per-word haggling.

We run dedicated multimarket programmes on predictable monthly or quarterly retainers, sized to your content volume, the number of markets, and the level of care each tier needs; we don't bid by the word. Most clients run three or more tiers under one agreement, and cost per market falls as your translation memory and glossary compound. You'll have a clear figure before anything starts, and it won't move job to job. If you need a one-off document translation, we're glad to point you to a good retail provider. If you're ready to run your cross-border content as one operation, start with an audit and we'll scope it with you.
