Website translation, marketing translation and market research translation for GfK
Brightlines has been involved with some of GfK’s most prestigious material, including the translation, transcreation and production of market research collateral. Brightlines recently completed website translations for GfK. GfK has a complex brand language with unique terminology that needed adhering to. Also of particular note is the translation of a revolutionary report which offers key insight into the future of text-based news. The report reveals the escalating consumption of video-based news, especially among younger demographics, driven by smartphones and tablets. This has huge implications for all global media organisations, and Brightlines is proud to have been the one to have made it globally available.
When reporting on such events, GfK needs a translation agency with specialist staff who have deep insight into the nature of media, economics and the internet. This is why Brightlines was chosen for the task; we have experts readily available who are not just translators but also academically trained in information technology and the media. This puts us head and shoulders above less specialised translation agencies.
GfK themselves commend our services as ‘excellent’, high praise from the fourth-largest market research organisation in the world.
