Transcreation

For slogans, taglines, campaign lines, headlines and brand voice. This is the work a literal translation gets wrong: the material where rhythm, tone and a single untranslatable word carry the meaning. I rebuild the effect in English so it does in your reader what the German did in theirs. Priced per project, from $350. A tagline or campaign line is quoted on its value to you, not by the word.

Three ways I work, all German into English. Every project is quoted up front, so you know the cost before anything begins.

Marketing localization

For full content sets: websites, landing pages, decks, email and social. Consistent brand voice across everything, tuned for a US or international-English audience rather than translated at it. Package-priced by scope, from $500. Larger content sets quoted after a quick look at the material.

Where I go deep

Beyond marketing, I bring years of in-house experience at an international business law firm and two technology companies, all based in Manhattan: corporate communications, compliance, and regulated content where the English has to carry real weight. Creative range and subject-matter seriousness in one place is rare, and it is where I am most useful.

AI and machine-translation repair

Your English is grammatically correct and still sounds like a machine wrote it. I fix that: register, idiom, flow, and the small wrong-word choices that quietly signal "translated." Ideal as an ongoing arrangement for teams shipping English content regularly. From $95/hour, or a monthly retainer for teams shipping English regularly.

Minimum charge $75 / €70. DACH clients are quoted in euros (roughly €320 / €460 / €90 per hour as parallels), invoiced from my German account.
