Due to the rise of new media it's more important than ever to communicate effectively through language. In 2011 we concluded that the creative industries could use some help in that department. That's why we established Het Vertaalcollectief (The Translation Collective), a dedicated translation agency for the creative industries. Since then many other sectors have found their way to Het Vertaalcollectief too. What began as a start-up has now grown into a well-established, creative and all-round text agency.

René
René is a writer and translator. He wrote the copy for this website and translates documents from English into Dutch. He's not happy about his headshot. But he agreed to use it anyway because Rosy thinks it's 'a sweet photo'.
Natasha
Natasha was born and raised in the UK but has lived in the Netherlands for almost eighteen years. After having spent many years working in international communication, primarily in the non-profit sector, Natasha decided to deploy her experience, skills and talents as a freelance copywriter and translator. As a native English speaker who is also fluent in Dutch, Natasha focuses on more than just words - comprehension can make a world of difference to the context and nuances of a text. Natasha has extensive experience as a writer and translator, especially in the context of strategic, commercial and creative projects.
Massimo
I have written my first copy on an IBM electric typewriter when I was 13. Since then, I switched to the latest Mac and interviewed rockstars and movie stars, I have written dog food instructions, a weekly newsletter about industrial hydrocleaning, press releases for International events and record releases, a couple of books and countless articles on travel and entertainment for newspapers and magazines worldwide. I mainly translate from English, French and Dutch to my native Italian. One day I will publish my autobiographical collection of shorts stories and poems, but I am still busy writing them!
