Why translated content doesn't work in English-speaking markets
English-speaking audiences are sensitive to content that doesn't speak to them natively. That's why we think in English from the first idea. Drawing on her background in American journalism, our producer Anna Muckerman helps European brands and agencies speak to consumers in a way that resonates. The difference shows in the script, the interviews and the edit: your audience should never feel they are watching a foreign company.

Frequently asked questions
Do you only make videos, or do you also build the strategy? Both. We can start with a content strategy for your target market, then produce it, or produce from a plan you already have.
Can you film in our country? Yes. We regularly film outside France. Our recent work took us to the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, Germany, Sweden and Poland.
Our team is not comfortable speaking English on camera. Can you help? Yes. We prepare interviews in advance, coach speakers on the day and can combine voice-over, subtitles and on-screen text so your message lands. We can also source native English-speaking talent to present your product or service on your behalf.
Do you also produce French versions? Yes. We are based in France and produce French and English versions of the same content.
