MARKETING CONTENT LOCALIZATION
Marketing content localization that lands the same way in every market
A campaign that works in English rarely survives a literal translation. We adapt ads, landing pages, email, social posts and sales collateral market by market — keeping the idea, the brand voice and the call to action intact, inside the character limits the platforms actually enforce. Across 48 languages and 63 regional versions, on your launch date.

OVERVIEW
Accurate is not the same as persuasive
Marketing copy is written to make someone act. Translation checks whether the words are correct. Those are different jobs, and the gap between them is where most multi-market campaigns quietly lose their performance — the message is faithful, the headline is flat, and the market that was supposed to match the home market quietly underperforms it.
We adapt the copy instead of translating it. A native copywriter working in the target market keeps the proposition, the tone and the structure of the campaign, and rewrites the parts that do not travel: the pun in the headline, the cultural reference in the subject line, the urgency phrasing that reads as pushy in one country and as normal in another. The brief stays the same. The wording earns its result locally.
The practical constraints are treated as part of the job, not as someone else’s problem. Google Ads headlines are 30 characters and descriptions are 90, in every language, including the ones that run 30% longer than English. Email subject lines get cut on mobile. Button labels break the layout. We write to those limits from the start and deliver copy that fits, rather than copy that has to be trimmed by whoever pastes it in.
Everything follows a process aligned with ISO 17100 — a native linguist of the target market, a second linguist reviewing — with a brand voice guide and a glossary per language so product names, feature names and claims stay identical across every asset in the campaign. Content stays under NDA on EU infrastructure and never passes through public AI tools, which matters when the assets are unreleased.
WHAT WE DO
Every asset in the campaign, adapted for the market it runs in
01 — Search, display and paid social ads
Headlines, descriptions, CTAs and extensions written inside the exact character limits of Google, Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok — in the target language, not trimmed afterwards.
02 — Landing pages and funnels
Headline, subhead, proof points, form labels and CTA copy adapted as one sequence, so the page still argues its case in the same order it does in English.
03 —Email and lifecycle campaigns
Subject lines, preheaders, body copy and full nurture sequences, with personalization tokens and merge fields kept intact and tested.
04 — Social and short-form content
Post copy, captions, hashtags researched per market, and burned-in subtitles for campaign video so the asset works with the sound off.
05— Sales and brand collateral
Brochures, one-pagers, case studies and presentation decks, delivered to fit the layout — including DTP-ready files where the text expands.
06 — Brand voice and claims check
A tone guide per language, and a review that flags advertising claims restricted by local rules — comparative claims, superlatives and guarantee wording — before the campaign goes live.
PROCESS
From one campaign to every market, on the same launch date
01
Campaign brief and message map
We take your brief, brand guidelines and asset list, and agree what is fixed — the proposition, the claims, the product names — and what a copywriter is free to rewrite for the market.
02
Adaptation by native marketing copywriters
A copywriter who works in the target market adapts each asset against the message map, the glossary and the tone guide. Idioms, humour and urgency are rebuilt locally rather than carried across.
03
Character fitting and variants
Copy is written to the character limits of each placement, and where you are testing, we deliver alternative headline and CTA variants per market instead of a single option.
04
Claims, tone and second-linguist review
A second linguist reviews against the source, checks the brand voice, and flags claims that local advertising rules restrict — comparative claims, superlatives, pricing and guarantee wording.
05
Delivery in campaign format
You get the copy in the format your team actually uses — spreadsheet per placement, CMS export, XLIFF, JSON or direct into the ad platform's bulk sheet — in time to build and schedule before launch.

WHO WE HELP
Built for teams running one campaign in more than one language
From SaaS demand generation to retail promotions to agency client work — our marketing localization services serve every team that has to launch the same idea in several markets at once.
B2B Software & SaaS
Demand-generation campaigns, product launches and long nurture sequences, with the same proposition and the same terminology from the first ad to the last email.
Consumer Brands
Seasonal and always-on campaigns adapted across ads, social, email and in-store, with tone that fits each market rather than a translated version of the home one.
Marketing & Creative Agencies
Client campaigns localized on agency deadlines and delivered under your own brand. One supplier across every market instead of a different freelancer per language.
E-commerce & Retail
Promotions, category campaigns and product-led ads, with offer wording, pricing formats and legal small print correct for each market.
Manufacturers & Distributor Networks
Sales collateral, case studies and campaign material your local distributors can actually use, with product names and technical terms fixed across every language.
Media & Entertainment
Launch campaigns where the video and the copy have to match — subtitles, voice-over and ad text produced together rather than sourced from different suppliers.

MORE THAN ONE HEADLINE TO TEST
Localization is one of the smallest lines in a campaign budget, and it decides what the largest one returns. The media spend is identical in every market whether the headline works or not — the only variable is whether the copy earns the click it is paying for. That is the part we are responsible for. Across 48 languages and 63 regional versions.
LANGUAGES

What the work looks like from your side — from the asset list to copy that fits and ships on the launch date.
Written to the limit, not trimmed to it
A native copywriter adapts each asset against your message map and tone guide, writing directly into the character count the placement allows. Where you are testing, you get alternative headlines and CTAs per market rather than one option — delivered in the sheet, export or bulk upload format your team already uses.
CREDENTIALS
Native copywriters, a second review, and unreleased campaigns that stay on EU infrastructure
A campaign exists before it launches, and that is when it is most exposed — assets move between agency, translator and platform while the launch is still confidential. Everything we handle stays under NDA on EU infrastructure and never passes through a public AI tool.

FAQ
Marketing content localization frequently asked questions
What marketing managers, brand teams and agencies ask before running one campaign in several markets.
How is this different from transcreation?
Transcreation invents a new creative idea for a market — a different concept, a different slogan, built from the brief upward. Marketing localization keeps your existing campaign and makes it work locally: same proposition, same structure, rewritten wording. Most multi-market campaigns need localization across all assets and transcreation on a handful of headlines. We can quote both and tell you which asset needs which.
Will the copy fit Google Ads and Meta character limits?
Yes. We write to the limit of each placement in the target language rather than translating first and trimming afterwards — 30 characters for a Google headline, 90 for a description, and the equivalent for each social format. German, Finnish and Polish routinely run longer than English, so fitting has to be part of the writing, not a step after it.
Can you keep our brand voice consistent across languages?
We build a tone guide per language at the start, alongside a glossary of product names, feature names and approved claims. Every copywriter on the campaign works against both, and the second linguist reviews for voice as well as accuracy. The guide and the glossary are yours to keep and reuse on the next campaign.
Can you handle the video in the campaign as well?
Yes. Subtitles, burned-in captions, voice-over and dubbing are produced in our own studios, so the ad video and the ad copy come from the same project and use the same terminology instead of being sourced separately.
How fast can you turn a campaign around?
It depends on volume and language count, but campaigns are scheduled backwards from your launch date and all markets are delivered together rather than trickling in. Send the asset list and the date and we will tell you at quote stage whether it is achievable — before you commit, not after.
Do you check whether our claims are allowed in each market?
We flag them. Comparative claims, superlatives, guarantee wording and pricing statements are restricted differently across European markets, and our reviewers mark anything that is likely to be a problem so your legal or compliance team can decide. It is a linguistic flag, not legal advice, and it catches most issues before a campaign goes live.
