Bridging African Designers and Artists to Non-English Speaking Countries! “The Designer Label” – A Translation, Writing and Cross-Cultural Consultancy Specifically for the African Fashion and Art Industries
Edith Nkwocha (Owner of The Designer Label)
Registered in Lagos, Nigeria, The Designer Label is a translation, writing and Cross-Cultural Consultancy established in 2011, specifically to provide specialized language and cross-cultural promotional services to African designers and artists.
The main objective of The Designer Label is to help effectively bridge the “communication gap” between Africa and the non-English speaking world as it remains committed to provide translation, writing and consultancy services that are effective, professional, accurate and timely.
Edith Nkwocha, Owner of the Designer Label tells us what makes the Designer Label’s services so special
The fashion and art industries are special market segments. Through my company I provide a unique combination of services under one umbrella, which is to help established and upcoming African designers and artists get their message across and into foreign markets.
Established designers and artists can also benefit from The Designer Label’s translation and writing services to promote their new collection or work via their website, promotional materials, press releases, blogs and more, translated specifically into the language spoken in their target market(s).
Background
First hand experience is the best and Edith Nkwocha (Owner of The Designer Label), is a Certified Style Coach™ and Relooking/Image Consultant. Her experiences launching her own hand bag label BILOTEcouture, together with creating her own jewelry line, have both given her invaluable knowledge and insight to help budding designers wanting to launch their own line or break into new markets where language and communication represent a barrier to their marketing and sales efforts.
Edith is also African, a writer and translator, specializing in the medical and life sciences, business/commerce, insurance and fashion translation areas with a combined total of over 20 years experience.
As a Translator, Edith collaborates with several international translation companies, and has created a Training Program which she designed specifically for Africans trying to set up their own freelance translation business. She is a member of the Proz Certified Pro Network and is a Proz Translator Reviewer. She has held professional memberships with the International Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters (IAPTI) and the Spanish Association of Translators, Editors and Interpreters (Asetrad). She is currently a member of the Instituto Superior de Estudios Lingüísticos y Traducción (ISTRAD), Spain.
Global Reach
Edith currently offers her professional services in both Nigeria and the Principality of Andorra, where she is based. Andorra, lying between France and Spain, is a country with a population of approximately 84,000 people, in which five main languages are spoken – Catalan, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English. Edith speaks English, French and Spanish and having had the privilege and opportunity to live and work in several other countries including the United States, Poland, Nigeria, Togo, she is well-placed to understand the importance of the socio-cultural dynamics that often work alongside languages that are so crucial to getting one’s message across in a foreign market.
