SEO-INFORMED
CROSS-CULTURAL MARKETING.

Most agencies either translate your content and call it localization, or they optimize for keywords without understanding cultural context. You end up with a website that ranks but does not convert, or content that sounds right but no one can find.

I come from marketing, journalism, and radio, which means I know how messaging works and what makes people pay attention. I coordinated focus groups and delivered market research for fintech, edtech, SaaS, supermarkets, and food brands. I have always been fascinated by how psychology influences consumer behaviour, which is what led me to study intercultural psychology in the first place.

What I bring is a deep understanding of how culture, trends, and psychology shape consumer behaviour in different markets. When I build a market entry strategy, you get someone who knows how to make your brand findable and relevant

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Which markets do you specialize in?

German-speaking markets (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and Central and Eastern Europe, with particular focus on Romania and Moldova.

Do you handle the full localization process?

I provide strategy, transcreation, and SEO consulting. For large-scale localization projects, I work with vetted professionals in my network. For high-stakes content (taglines, landing pages, key marketing copy), I handle it directly.

How do you coordinate mystery shopping and focus groups?

I work with research partners in target markets to design the study, recruit participants, facilitate sessions, and deliver actionable insights. You get the findings without managing the logistics.

Can you work with our existing marketing team or agency?

Yes. I often collaborate with in-house marketing teams or agencies who need cultural and linguistic expertise for specific markets.

What makes your approach different?

Most consultants either know SEO or know culture, but rarely both. I worked in international marketing for years, studied intercultural psychology, and teach marketing translation at the University of Vienna. I also interpret regularly for international institutions and multinational corporations. That combination shapes everything I bring to your market entry strategy.

What does a typical market entry project look like?

We start with market research and competitor analysis, then build your positioning and SEO strategy. You receive a strategic roadmap with specific recommendations on keywords, content structure, and localization priorities. Timeline depends on market complexity and scope.

What deliverables do you provide?

Depending on the project: strategic roadmaps, keyword research reports, competitor analysis, localized content, focus group findings, mystery shopping reports, SEO recommendations, and ongoing consultation.

How do you charge for your services?

Project-based for market entry consulting and research. Hourly or retainer for ongoing advisory. Contact me for a transparent quote based on your specific needs.
