We have specialist small business skills such as how to amplify your online marketing through the use of video with subtitles and voice overs to make your website more accessible to a wider audience. And how to expand your business into other countries by using a specialist voice over agency to add foreign language voice overs and subtitling to your video content (BTW we use Matinee Voice Over Agency for our video voice-overs and subtitles).

Businesses can reach a wider audience by amplifying online marketing via better use of videos. Using closed captions, subtitles and voice-overs will also ensure your video content is fully accessible to all. Using a specialist voice over agency will ensure the selection of the right voice for your brand that evokes your message in the way most likely to engage potential customers. Whether that is a male voice-over or female voice-over, who speaks with an English accent or even English in a foreign accent (think Volvo and IKEA adverts). And for businesses targeting an international market use foreign language voice overs and subtitling on your video content.

We understand the challenges of the digital space, cutting through the noise and really reaching your audience. We know which marketing media types and platforms provide the best ROI to give you the best chance of building a successful brand and reputation.
