The client
Sponge is an award-winning digital learning agency, known for delivering innovative training solutions to some of the world’s biggest brands, including AstraZeneca, GSK, IKEA, and Tetra Pak. Their reputation for excellence and ambition has made them a go-to partner for global corporations looking for engaging and effective learning experiences.
The challenge
To support their global clients, Sponge needed high-quality digital learning courses translated into multiple languages – sometimes over 40 at once – while ensuring consistency, accuracy, and efficiency. Given the strict legal and compliance requirements in industries such as pharmaceuticals and technology, translations had to be flawless, culturally relevant, and delivered on time.
The results
By partnering with Comtec, Sponge has been able to consistently deliver multilingual digital learning solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and compliance. Our expertise in managing large-scale translation projects has allowed Sponge to:
-
Successfully launch global learning programmes in multiple languages simultaneously, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
-
Maintain brand consistency and tone of voice across all markets, thanks to our use of company glossaries and style guides.
-
Streamline workflows, reducing time spent on project management and review processes by up to 50%.
-
Provide over 50 end clients with confidence in the accuracy and effectiveness of translated content across over 350 projects.
-
By using our recently introduced automated translation workflow for appropriate content, Sponge have reduced translation costs by around 75%.
-
Throughout our decade-long partnership, we have helped Sponge access global clients and seen them go from a £2m to a £20m+ company.
Our tailored approach and meticulous project management ensure that Sponge can focus on what they do best – creating world-class digital learning experiences – while we handle the complexities of multilingual delivery.
