From Translation to Marketing

Moving from translation to marketing taught me that words are tools for action, not just accuracy. Translation sharpened my instinct for clarity—every sentence has to land on the first read—while marketing added the discipline of prompting a response.

I started treating every campaign like a translation brief: understand the source (the product), the audience (the reader), and the cultural context that decides whether a message feels natural or forced.

This approach made me obsessed with crisp positioning. Instead of long explanations, I focus on one promise, one proof, and one next step that respects the reader’s time.

As a result, I write less but communicate more. Campaigns are shorter, landing pages are tighter, and teams spend less time debating copy because the intent is obvious.

The biggest lesson: marketing is translation with accountability. If the audience does not act, the message was not truly understood.
