My clients’ voice
Alessandra regularly translates my blog posts from Italian into English… and I don’t know what I would do without her! When I first decided to extend the reach of my business beyond borders, I did it all alone. But after a bit, time constraints made it a must for me to delegate part of the activities. Being sensitive to formal grace and very difficult to please, delegating is hard for me. Luckily, Alessandra doesn’t only translate much better than I would, but recreates my words in another language as if they were born in English, and with the best possible form. On top of that, Alessandra isn’t only adorable but also completely independent in managing and respecting deadlines. Working with her enabled me to “forget about” a huge part of my work, because I know it’s in very good hands.
Alessandra is dedicated, discerning and experienced: she asks the right questions, sets clear goals and pays close attention to her clients’ requests. I entrusted her with the creation of my slogan because I was impressed by her creativity and ability to play with words to highlight small businesses to their best advantage. I knew that the result would be unique, and true to me. Based on my brief, she found the right formula: “Close the language gap”. This helps me raise awareness of the role and value of interpreters and, above all, be remembered.
After working so hard on my website copy, I needed a fresh pair of eyes to watch over the quality of the content. I called on Alessandra because, besides being a dear colleague of mine, she’s a competent a professional person that knows how to value each word and phrase. Alessandra was very helpful; after asking some background information (e.g. on my preferred tone of voice, my ideal client and scope of the copy) she analysed each bit of my website. I especially appreciated all the detailed explanations she gave me over our feedback session, as well as her hands-on tips on creating content that would resonate with my audience. Alessandra’s Elixir was a precious booster for a better positioning of my website, and it also helped me approach my content from a different angle.Matteo D. Paone
