Featured case study

Here are some examples of how our content localization has helped businesses and KOLs connect with global audiences on Instagram. We transform your message to resonate culturally, driving engagement and growth.

French perfume launch in Japan

☞Point of this case
For the tagline “Breathe the Quiet.”, our Japanese marketing translation 「静けさを、まとう。」 goes beyond direct meaning. Instead of a simple “breathe,” we chose 「まとう (matou)」. This verb means “to envelop oneself in,” perfectly linking the act of applying perfume with being embraced by a forest’s calm. The subtle comma 「、」 adds a poetic pause, enhancing its emotional depth for Japanese audiences.

Pizza restaurant in Singapore

☞Point of this case
While “Peranakan” is the accurate term, it’s not widely familiar to Japanese audiences. To ensure immediate understanding and a stronger connection, we’ve opted for “Singaporean-born”. This translation clearly communicates the origin, making the unique product instantly relatable and appealing to Japanese customers.
The unit “pint” is not commonly understood by Japanese consumers. To ensure clarity and precise understanding of the amount, we’ve opted to translate it as “280ml.”
The term “giveaway” isn’t widely used or immediately understood in Japan. To clearly communicate that there’s an attractive special offer, we’ve opted for お得情報 (otoku jōhō). This translates to “special offer” or “great deal,” directly conveying the benefit to Japanese consumers.
