Translation from English to Italian for persuasive campaigns

The case study of WME

I provide my services to WME — a European community for civic mobilisation in the sphere of human rights, environment and economy — translating and adapting persuasive campaigns and online petitions aimed at the Italian public. My work goes beyond simple translation, involving “transcreation”, with each message rewritten to sound authentic, emotionally resonant and culturally relevant for the Italian audience.

Background

WME launches online campaigns in multiple languages simultaneously, often in response to current events or imminent political decisions. For the Italian market, they needed a professional native Italian speaker with the skills to adapt content quickly and with cultural sensitivity; a partner working as a natural extension of their own communications team.

Collaboration

This partnership involves a commitment on four fronts.
I adapt the tone of voice and emotional resonance of each campaign to the Italian cultural context, calibrating the persuasive language used based on the issue and audience.
I guarantee a fast turnaround for flash campaigns that need to be published and sent out as soon as a news item goes viral or a political decision is imminent.
I adapt my services to suit the editorial schedule, working as part of the inhouse team with the same deadlines and rhythms.
I constantly review the results on the basis of performance data and conversion rates, optimising copy for maximum engagement.
