Engaging multimedia content is a must for any public or private institution or organisation that wants to communicate effectively, and immediately, with diverse audiences. The meteoric rise of social media has changed the way consumers around the world request information \u2013 and the way institutions and businesses deliver it.<\/em><\/h3>\n

In a fast-paced world, buzzing with information and opinions, customers understand that they have a choice. They want to know what an institution or company is thinking and doing, to explore its values and aspirations, and to see what others think. They want to put faces to names and concepts, and see philosophies and claims in action. And they want all this is in clear, compelling terms, in their own language. This is where relevant, tailored multimedia content is crucial.<\/p>\n

Effective, localised original content, subtitles, and voiceovers can exponentially extend the reach and impact of your organisation\u2019s mission and message: from a promotional product or service video, to a news channel, e-learning materials, interactive web content, animation or audio\u2026 the benefits of creating compelling, accurate multilingual multimedia content<\/a> speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

1. Reach Far, Reach Fast, Reach First<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We snooze, we lose\u2026 in a competitive global market place, successful companies and institutions engage audiences far and wide with convincing, memorable content delivered in tailored, and culturally relevant formats. Visual, audio and interactive content are key tools that enable you to deliver emotions and demonstrate what you do and who you are \u2013 far and above one-dimensional verbal claims. What\u2019s more, online platforms can propel the growth of any business by offering fertile ground for multimedia to promote its essence, products and services. Instead of reaching hundreds, with printed materials or a text-based website why not reach hundreds of thousands, get your message shared exponentially, and even go viral? Multilingual multimedia content that adapts to core dissemination channels and networks can transcend time and distance, build communities, attract new audiences and enhance interest and loyalty. What\u2019s more, it can showcase a company or institution\u2019s ability to move with the times and adapt to the state-of-the-art tools and convenience that its customers expect.<\/p>\n

2. Show that you care: Accessibility<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There is much more to translation than language exchange. Institutions and companies that tailor their content to their target audience, show that they care about how their message is received \u2013 \u00a0and who is receiving it. Social media is fertile ground for interacting with consumers of multilingual content. It can offer valuable feedback on what works and areas for improvement. Opening these channels for ongoing dialogue can provide prime insights \u2013 especially if a company or institution can respond appropriately in users\u2019 local language.<\/p>\n

With Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a major concern for many businesses (and their consumers), multimedia offers a prime opportunity to enhance accessibility<\/u><\/strong> for people with visual or hearing impairments or reading difficulties through the addition of subtitles or voiceover. Various international standards exist to regulate multimedia accessibility, such as the Electronic and Information Accessibility Standards<\/a> in the U.S., and the ICT procurement standard in Europe, which evaluate and certify an organisation or supplier\u2019s accessibility when providing digital or audio-visual products and services as part of a public procurement process. \u00a0Your specialist multilingual service provider may help you to comply with these standards and optimise the accessibility of your audiovisual content.<\/p>\n
