Two Warwickshire companies have teamed up to offer a tasty
package which could help businesses crack the international
market.
Tiddington-based Sounding Sweet, which offers high quality audio
and video post production and recording services, has joined forces
with Leamington-based language experts Comtec Translations to offer
firms the chance to produce video and audio marketing materials
suitable for customers in foreign markets and international
visitors to the area.
Comtec and Sounding Sweet came back into contact through the
Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce after Sounding Sweet
was founded by directors Karen Faustini and Ed Walker. Karen had
previously worked at Comtec with managing director Sophie Howe.
Sophie said the upcoming London 2012 games presented a fantastic
opportunity to reach out to customers from overseas markets.
"The region will be attracting thousands of international
visitors in the build up to, during and after London 2012 - so now
is a perfect time to prepare advertising and marketing tools which
will reach out better to this international audience," said
Sophie.
"The services provided by Sounding Sweet and Comtec are a match
made in heaven - especially with the rising importance of new media
and breaking into export markets during this time of economic
uncertainty.
"We are looking forward to working closely with Sounding Sweet
and we are confident this will be a fruitful collaboration."
Karen and Ed, who run Sounding Sweet and sister company Looking
Sweet, said the studio had achieved early success since starting
out as a business.
"Sounding Sweet is one of the few recording studios in the
Midlands specialising in voice over recording and audio post
production" said Ed.
"We have recorded Patrick Stewart's voice for various television
and radio adverts, as well as for a recent documentary for the
British Museum.
"The relationship with Comtec should open many more doors, and
we think this service might appeal to international tourist
destinations such as theme parks and historic sites as well as more
traditional businesses.
"We are optimistic that our association with Comtec will help us
increase our business further."
