• About Us

    In Notting Hill, London back in 1988, Wordbank was founded with a mission to deliver high-quality, consistent translation and localization services to the international sales and marketing organizations of any company taking theiPeople gathered around a deskr products and services global. And we're still doing it, even though the media have changed and everything happens much faster these days.
    We are a successful, private, financially sound, self-funded company with sales, production, search marketing and full media studios in both Denver, Colorado and London, England, and a blue-chip client list of well-known B2C and B2B brands and international creative and design agencies. 

    Through a commitment to people-based customer service and technical innovation we have steadily built up a global reputation for high-quality responsiveness and on-time, on-budget delivery tailored specifically to the needs of advertisers, marketers and creative professionals. 

    One of the things that makes us different is the importance we place on long-term relationships, meaning that we not only value our clients but also our people and our network of linguists. Ultimately, the quality of our work depends on the knowledge and skills of these production resources. That’s why we put so much emphasis on encouraging our employees to really engage with our clients' businesses and why, while we have high expectations of them, we treat our in-country linguistic suppliers as skilled, knowledgeable professionals.
