About

Translation was founded in 2004, on the premise that brands that lead culture fare better than brands that follow culture. Though we took a round of venture capital in 2017 to create our sister company UnitedMasters, we remain fiercely independent.

We identify, activate, and scale cultural insights for the world’s most prestigious brands by helping them find the single truth of theirs – truths often overlooked, but seldom unknown – that can become a movement.

Think of this as our superpower: making the invisible impossible to ignore.
Brands value and seek to experience our special sauce because we employ culture as a canvas to illustrate a brand’s unique point of view in ways that connect with consumers through a multitude of mediums. As an agency, we converge culture, technology, and storytelling to shift industries.
