    English below Digitale marketingstrategie en excecutie voor bedrijven met duurzame ambities Wij maken marketing. Dat maakt ons niet uniek. Het werk dat wij samen met onze klanten maken, doet dat wel. Wij maken marketing zonder te denken in online, offline, groot of klein. Marketing zonder buzzwords. Of is dat ook een buzzword? Marketing die relevant is voor jouw klanten. En marketing die recht uit de kern van jouw bedrijf komt. Duurzaam zonder geitenwollensokken. Dát maakt Ten Stripes marketing. Bij Ten Stripes vind je een team van marketingspecialisten die minimaal 5 jaar ervaring hebben in marketing.  Deze specialisten zetten hun kennis in om jouw marketingdoelen te behalen. Altijd beginnen met een (duurzame) strategie Om de specialisaties in te kunnen zetten, begint een traject altijd met een strategische sessie. Hoe groot of klein deze sessie is, hangt af van jouw marketingstrategie. Hoeveel is er bijvoorbeeld al bepaald voor jouw bedrijf? Maatwerk marketing Na een kennismaking, komen we tot de kern van jouw bedrijf. Hieruit ontstaat een strategie op maat die gebaseerd is op de volgende specialisaties: Marketing 3.0; missie, visie, kernwaarden, usp's, SDG's en merkbelofte Customer journey & storytelling Data analytics en dashboarding Duurzame SEO Google Ads automatiseren CRO, A/B testen: conversiemaximalisatie Lange termijn denkers Het lastigste van een bureau is om jouw business zo goed mogelijk te leren kennen. Daarom investeren wij daar best wat tijd in. En als we elkaar eenmaal goed begrijpen, dan is het het fijnste als we voor een lange termijn kunnen samenwerken. Dan plukken we de meeste vruchten van de energie die we er allebei in stoppen. Daarom vinden we een goede strategie de basis van een samenwerking. Want korte termijn denken schaadt de economie volgens ons. We delen graag onze kennis In tegenstelling tot veel andere bureaus leren wij jouw graag wat we doen. Het hoeft natuurlijk niet, maar in veel gevallen is het wel zo effectief. Jou de handvatten geven die jouw business verder brengen. Zo leiden wij intern veel SEO en Google Ads mensen op. Jouw mensen leren de kneepjes van het vak afgestemd op het kennisniveau van jouw medewerker. Kunnen jullie het zelf? Dan zijn wij blij en jij blij. Ten Stripes is de ideale sparringpartner. Op wie richten wij ons? Ten Stripes richt zich op organisaties met duurzame ambities. Wij hebben veel gevoel bij organisaties die  impact willen maken op mens en milieu. Wij helpen deze bedrijven doelstellingen te koppelen aan SDG's en een goed en integer concept in de markt te zetten dat klopt. Ook zorgen we ervoor dat de interne marketing op orde is. Groene bedrijven die commerciëler willen worden. We zien dat veel groene bedrijven moeite hebben om commercieel potten te breken. Wij helpen deze bedrijven met het goed doorvoeren van het concept en strategie op detailniveau. Maar natuurlijk kan duurzaam ook bedrijfskundig uit worden gelegd als kiezen voor een toekomstbestendig vertrekpunt. Ook deze organisaties helpen wij hun ambities te verwezenlijken.  Samenvattend Wij helpen bedrijven met (digitale) marketingstrategie, implementatie en optimalisatie. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- English Digital marketing strategy and execution for companies with sustainable ambitions We make marketing. That doesn’t make us unique. The work we do together with our customers makes us unique. We make marketing without thinking in terms of online, offline, large or small. Marketing without buzzwords. Or is that also a buzzword? Marketing that is relevant for your customers. And marketing that comes straight from the core of your company. Sustainable without goat wool socks. That makes Ten Stripes marketing. At Ten Stripes you will find a team of marketing specialists who have at least 5 years of experience in marketing. These specialists use their knowledge to achieve your marketing goals. Always start with a (sustainable) strategy To be able to deploy the specializations, a process always starts with a strategic session. How big or small this session is, depends on your marketing strategy. For example, how much has already been determined for your company? Custom marketing After an introduction, we get to the core of your company. This results in a tailor-made strategy based on the following specializations: Marketing 3.0; mission, vision, core values, USP’s, SDGs and brand promise Customer journey & storytelling Data analytics and dashboarding Sustainable SEO Automate Google Ads CRO, A / B tests: conversion maximization Long term thinkers The most difficult thing about an agency is to know your business as well as possible. That is why we invest time in this. And when we understand each other well, we can work together for a long term. Then we get the most benefits from the energy we both put into it. That is why we think a good strategy is the basis of a collaboration. Because short-term thinking hurts the economy in our opinion. We share our knowledge gladly Unlike many other agencies, we like to teach you what we do. Of course, it is not necessary, but in many cases, it is effective. Giving you the tools to take your business further. That is the way we train many SEO and Google Ads people internally. Your people learn the tricks of SEO and Google Ads tailored to the knowledge level of your employee. Can you do it yourself? Then we are happy, and you are happy. Ten Stripes is the ideal sparring partner. Who are we targeting? Ten Stripes focuses on organizations with sustainable ambitions. We have a lot of feeling for organizations that want to make an impact on people and the environment. We help these companies to link objectives to SDG’s and to launch a good and honest concept that is correct. We also ensure that the internal marketing is good. Green companies that want to become more commercial. We see that many green companies are struggling to make a commercial breakthrough. We help these companies to properly implement the concept and strategy at a detailed level. But of course, sustainability can also be explained from a business perspective as opting for a future-proof starting point. We also help these organizations to realize their ambitions. Summarizing We help companies with (digital) marketing strategy, implementation and optimization.

    Ben jij een fervent liefhebber van one night stands? Good for you! Zo’n vluchtig onderonsje brengt een gezonde dosis adrenaline en avontuur met zich mee. Maar wat brengt het je op de lange termijn? Hoe avontuurlijk we ook zijn, als het gaat om relaties pleiten wij voor eentje die niet zo vlot verwatert. Klantrelaties dan, hè. Met onze klanten en de klanten van onze klanten. Dat doen we door het zoete punt te vinden. Daar waar je doelgroep en je merk overlappen. That’s where  the magic happens  en dat is waar je met contentmarketing bouwt aan een relatie. Niet zo’n kortstondige als een one night stand, maar zo een met vertrouwen als basis.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Technical writing agencies in Amsterdam are at the forefront of addressing the growing need for localization and internationalization in documentation. As a global hub for business and technology, Amsterdam-based agencies are uniquely positioned to tackle these challenges. Here's how they're approaching this crucial aspect of technical communication:

1. Multilingual Expertise

Many technical writing agencies in Amsterdam are building teams with diverse linguistic backgrounds. They're hiring native speakers and language experts to ensure accurate and culturally appropriate translations. This is particularly important in the Netherlands, where businesses often operate internationally.

2. Cultural Adaptation

Beyond mere translation, Amsterdam agencies are focusing on cultural adaptation. This involves understanding local customs, idioms, and preferences to make documentation resonate with different audiences. For instance, they might adjust examples or case studies to be more relevant to specific markets.

3. Technology Integration

Amsterdam's technical writing companies are leveraging advanced translation management systems (TMS) and computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools. These technologies help maintain consistency across multiple languages and streamline the localization process. Some agencies are even exploring AI-powered translation tools to enhance efficiency.

4. Collaborative Platforms

To facilitate international teamwork, many agencies are adopting cloud-based collaborative platforms. These tools allow writers, translators, and subject matter experts from different countries to work together seamlessly, ensuring that localization is considered from the outset of a project.

5. Agile Localization

Amsterdam-based agencies are increasingly adopting agile methodologies for localization. This approach allows for more frequent updates and iterations, ensuring that documentation remains current across all languages and markets.

6. User Research

To better understand the needs of international audiences, technical writing agencies in Amsterdam are conducting extensive user research. This includes surveys, interviews, and usability testing with participants from various countries to inform their localization strategies.

7. Standardization and Modularization

Many agencies are developing standardized writing guidelines and modular content structures. This approach makes it easier to localize content efficiently and maintain consistency across different languages and markets.

8. Multimedia Localization

Recognizing that documentation often includes multimedia elements, Amsterdam agencies are expanding their capabilities to localize videos, infographics, and interactive content. This ensures a fully localized experience for users across all content types.

9. Regulatory Compliance

With Amsterdam's strong connections to the European Union, local technical writing agencies are well-versed in navigating complex regulatory environments. They ensure that localized documentation complies with different regional standards and legal requirements.

10. Continuous Learning

Amsterdam's technical writing community is known for its commitment to ongoing education. Many agencies encourage their staff to attend international conferences, participate in webinars, and engage in cross-cultural training to stay updated on global best practices in localization and internationalization.

By implementing these strategies, technical writing agencies in Amsterdam are not only meeting the growing need for localization and internationalization but are also setting new standards in the field. Their approach ensures that technical documentation is not just translated, but truly adapted for global audiences, reflecting Amsterdam's position as an international business center.

Technical writing companies in Amsterdam face various challenging projects, each requiring unique strategies to overcome. Here are some of the most demanding types of projects and how leading agencies tackle them:

  1. Multilingual and localization projects

    Challenge: Amsterdam is a hub for international businesses, necessitating technical documentation in multiple languages.

    Solution: Top agencies employ native speakers and cultural experts to ensure accurate translations and proper localization. They also utilize advanced translation management systems and maintain comprehensive terminology databases.

  2. Highly technical or specialized content

    Challenge: Amsterdam's thriving tech scene, including AI and fintech sectors, often requires documentation for complex, cutting-edge technologies.

    Solution: Agencies cultivate teams with diverse technical backgrounds and invest in continuous learning. They also collaborate closely with subject matter experts (SMEs) and use sophisticated knowledge management systems.

  3. Regulatory compliance documentation

    Challenge: With Amsterdam being a financial center and home to the European Medicines Agency, creating compliant documentation is crucial but complex.

    Solution: Agencies stay updated on regulations through partnerships with legal experts and regulatory bodies. They implement rigorous quality control processes and use compliance-checking software.

  4. User experience (UX) writing for software and apps

    Challenge: Amsterdam's growing startup ecosystem demands clear, concise, and user-friendly interface text.

    Solution: Technical writing companies collaborate closely with UX designers and conduct user testing. They employ microcopy specialists and use tools like heat maps and A/B testing to optimize user interactions.

  5. API documentation

    Challenge: As a tech-forward city, Amsterdam has many companies requiring clear, developer-friendly API documentation.

    Solution: Agencies use automated documentation tools, interactive API explorers, and version control systems. They also ensure their technical writers have programming knowledge to better understand and explain APIs.

To overcome these challenges, top technical writing agencies in Amsterdam typically employ the following strategies:

  • Continuous training: Keeping staff updated on the latest technologies, writing tools, and industry trends.
  • Collaborative workflows: Implementing agile methodologies and fostering close cooperation between writers, developers, and subject matter experts.
  • Technology investment: Utilizing cutting-edge authoring tools, content management systems, and analytics platforms to streamline processes and improve quality.
  • Specialization: Developing niche expertise in specific industries or types of documentation to differentiate themselves in the competitive Amsterdam market.
  • User-centric approach: Conducting thorough audience analysis and usability testing to ensure documentation meets end-user needs.

By employing these strategies, technical writing companies in Amsterdam are able to deliver high-quality documentation that meets the diverse and complex needs of their clients in this dynamic, international business environment.

Successful technical writing agencies in Amsterdam employ several key strategies to maintain consistency across large-scale documentation projects. These strategies are crucial for delivering high-quality, uniform content that meets the needs of both local and international clients. Here are some of the most effective approaches:

  1. Style Guides and Templates: Amsterdam-based agencies develop comprehensive style guides and document templates tailored to each project or client. These resources ensure that all writers follow the same formatting, terminology, and tone guidelines, resulting in cohesive documentation.
  2. Content Management Systems (CMS): Utilizing robust CMS platforms is common practice among top technical writing agencies in Amsterdam. These systems help manage, organize, and version control large volumes of content, making it easier to maintain consistency across multiple documents and writers.
  3. Collaboration Tools: With Amsterdam's reputation as a tech-savvy city, agencies leverage advanced collaboration tools like Confluence, Microsoft Teams, or Slack. These platforms facilitate real-time communication and document sharing among team members, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
  4. Quality Assurance Processes: Implementing rigorous QA processes is a hallmark of successful agencies. This often includes peer reviews, editorial checks, and client feedback loops to catch inconsistencies and maintain high standards throughout the project lifecycle.
  5. Terminology Management: Agencies in Amsterdam often use terminology management tools to create and maintain glossaries of industry-specific terms, ensuring consistent use of language across all documentation.
  6. Training and Onboarding: Continuous training and thorough onboarding processes for new writers are essential. This helps maintain consistency in writing style and adherence to project-specific guidelines, even as teams scale up for large projects.
  7. Agile Methodologies: Many Amsterdam-based agencies adopt Agile methodologies for documentation projects. This approach allows for regular check-ins, sprints, and iterations, helping to identify and address inconsistencies early in the process.
  8. Localization Expertise: Given Amsterdam's international business environment, successful agencies often have strong localization capabilities. They ensure consistency not just in the source language but also across translations, adapting content for various cultural contexts while maintaining the core message.
  9. Automated Tools: Leveraging AI-powered tools for grammar checking, style consistency, and even content generation is becoming increasingly common. These tools help maintain a baseline of consistency across large volumes of content.
  10. Client Collaboration: Close collaboration with clients is a key strategy. Regular meetings and feedback sessions with stakeholders ensure that the documentation aligns with the client's expectations and brand voice consistently throughout the project.

By implementing these strategies, technical writing agencies in Amsterdam can effectively manage large-scale documentation projects while ensuring consistency, quality, and client satisfaction. This approach has helped position Amsterdam as a hub for technical writing excellence, attracting both local and international clients seeking high-quality documentation services.
