What is English-to-German transcreation and localization?

What my clients say about my transcreation
& localization services for DACH

Native German Copywriter for BUCK Design for localization and Transcreation to win in the DACH market

"Oli was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him again in the future!

Our team at BUCK was in need of some creative translation help and Oli was a perfect fit - balancing both the tone & content our clients were looking for.

On top of that, he’s a great communicator, detail oriented, takes direction/feedback well, and was very easy to work with. He also went out of his way to give us a wide variety of extra copy to work with, which we very much appreciated. I highly recommend Oli for any German transcreation needs!"

Alexi Yeldezian
Senior Producer 
BUCK Design - New York

β€œOli is, in a sense, the β€œmethod actor” among creatives. With remarkable intuition, he immerses himself in a wide range of markets, audiences, and topicsβ€”and then writes, ideates, and develops concepts as if he had never done anything else.

We have shared a close collaboration since the agency was founded over ten years ago. Especially when it comes to cross-market creations, we are always happy to bring Oli on boardβ€”because he introduces brands to new markets in a way that makes them feel as though they have always belonged there.”

Jeremie Levy
Co-Founder, Baker Street GmbH, Switzerland
Native German Copywriter for BEAST Health for localization and Transcreation to win in the DACH market

β€œWorking with Oliver has been a great experience. He has supported us extensively in launching Beast in the German market, helping refine and rewrite a large volume of German texts across our website, marketing materials, and advertisements.

While many of our initial translations are AI-generated, Oliver consistently elevates them to a high-quality, natural German standard. His work goes far beyond simple editing, he brings a strong sense of tone, clarity, and marketing effectiveness to every piece of content.

He is fast, reliable, and extremely easy to work with. Even while traveling, he has always made time when something urgent came up. For us, especially as a team with limited native German resources, his contribution has been incredibly valuable.

I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled German copywriter who combines quality, efficiency, and great value.”

Giorgio Baroffio
Co-Founder, Summit Brands B.V.
Distributor of Beast Health in EU

β€œWorking with Oli was precisely what we needed when entering the German market.

He didn’t just translate our brand, he truly understood it and made it resonate locally in a way that felt completely natural and on-brand. His sensitivity for tone, culture, and detail gave us a level of confidence we wouldn’t have had otherwise. It never felt like our brand had always belonged there.”
