2007
As the demand for quality translation has grown, particularly in the GCC part of the world, Mr. Amin knew that there was a significant need for professional translators. Across the region in boom time economy, industries from finance to technology, healthcare to real-estate were venturing across borders. This growth in turn has resulted in the need for linguistically correct yet culturally and contextually appropriate translations.
In 2007, Mr. Amin made the decision to move on from freelancing and establish a more permanent home within an industry leading public relations and communications agency. Having had a good understanding of this process he used this approach to expand his customer base across different industries and significantly increase the scale of his portfolio. In the 14 years he spent designing for over 150 clients, many of international importance, including Apple Citrix and Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing.
Mr. Amin provided more than simple translation services, and this separated him in the industry. His work spanned more than just language, however—ranging from market-specific adaptations to culture consulting to develop strategic communication solutions for clients and effectively bridge linguistic and cultural gaps. And he used his broad experience in banking, healthcare, oil and gas, and media to develop a complete picture of how the markets spoke differently. A good touch in developing reputation as a reliable service provider attributing excellent translation for him was undeniably that he automatically adapts and does not to be too much particular about anything both minor or major.
