What is transcreation?
The term "transcreation" is a portmanteau of “translation” and “creation”, which is why this is also often referred to as "creative translation".
Transcreation is a marketing tactic that involves the adaptation of communication materials so that they can be used in a foreign market.
It must achieve three objectives:
It's a creative process, one that applies to all aspects of a marketing campaign: slogans, adverts, logos, images, packaging, etc.

Responses to your transcreation questions
This word is a portmanteau that comes from combining the two English words "translation" and "creation". Transcreation, also referred to as "cultural adaptation", is most common in the marketing and advertising sectors. It involves adapting an advertising slogan, message or tagline to a new market.
Transcreation should convey just the right emotions to the audience in your target market.
It's a creative process. Copywriters often have to recreate the brand message entirely in order to effectively tailor it to the target market.
Translation consists of transposing text from one language to another. The challenge the translator is faced with is to remain faithful to the source text, while adopting a natural, readable style.
Transcreation, meanwhile, necessitates more creative skills, because it involves recreating an advertising message for a target market, sometimes from scratch. Unlike translators, a transcreation specialist has the freedom to move away from the source text, as the primary objective is to convey the emotion present in the message.
The following communication components are likely to be transcreated:
- Slogans
- Adverts
- Images
- Videos
- Logos
- Packaging, etc.
There is no great secret to high-quality transcreation: it's vital to work with the best copywriters in the market.
The recruitment stage is crucial - we only hire experienced, native-language copywriters with a solid background in the advertising industry.
