Why me?
I help companies reach their ideal customers in the Somali language. How do I do
this? I translate, transcribe or localize marketing materials, website copy and
software from English into Somali. To create something that’s in line with your
company message, but in tune with your Somali audience, you need a Somali
marketer. Even better, you need a Somali marketer who’s completely bilingual
and bicultural. That’s me. You deal in metrics like conversions and click
through rates. I deal with the languages that allow these to happen.
I also share my passion for the profession and
my experience as a marketing professional with others. I help freelance
translators create a successful business by helping, presenting and providing
consulting services on marketing plans, strategies, and tactics.
