A one-of-a-kind team,
changing the game.

About Empower.

Empower is a leading UK localization agency and world-renowned specialist in insight localization. Established in 1997 by a freelance translator, we have since transformed into an award-winning team of friendly experts with an outstanding reputation in both the translation and insight industries.

Crucial to this success is our focus on how we impact the lives we touch, which is why we nurture long-lasting partnerships based on transparency and trust. By joining Empower with our generalist sister agency, Acuity Translations, Empower² was born – a dedicated brand that recognises our partner linguists and agencies as part of our extended team.

Together, we empower the world’s biggest insight enterprises and the world’s most influential brands, organizations and associations to effect ethical global change. Our projects vary in subject matter and reach. All are underpinned by technological innovation, unwavering engagement and a human-first approach.

We stand proud of our:

Global Impact

We remain conscious of the far-reaching changes made around the world as a result of the smallest details of our work.

Integrity

Trust, transparency and ethics are our absolute priority, above growth and profit.

Innovation

Out-of-the-box thinking combined with tech-forward solutions revolutionise the ease, enjoyment and efficiency of our work.

Shared Success

For every 1,000 words translated, we add £1 to our annual donation pot for worthwhile causes.

The partnership process

Our aim is always to build long-term, mutually successful and enjoyable partnerships. We make sure to:

  • Run a fair and clear onboarding structure
  • Process payments punctually
  • Provide ongoing feedback and quality reviews
  • Create open dialogue for process improvement
  • Produce service- and project-specific training
  • Establish clear, friendly and professional project communications
  • Update you on the latest news and developments

We are committed to open, ISO17100-compliant working processes, with the aim of creating synergistic teams of linguists who communicate freely during the process. Find out more in the section below.

Our linguist and agency teams are committed, agile, creative thinkers with strong commercial awareness. Service requirements tend to be market research-specific and include translation, post-editing, coding, verbatim, adverse events reporting, link-checking, audio-visual translation/transcription, subtitling, interpreting and moderation – all with full training and the support of our internal team.
