The localisation was the hard part and they nailed it. The cross-market comparisons actually hold up.

The challenge

A media company wanted a global attitudes study across 22 markets — but naive translation risked shifting question meaning market to market, quietly breaking every cross-market comparison.

Our approach

We ran research-grade translation with cultural adaptation and back-translation checks, scripted one multi-language instrument, and fielded through blended owned-and-partner sample with locked quotas per market.

The trust & data-quality layer

Consistent screening across every market kept quality comparable, while translation QA ensured differences in the data reflected culture — not questionnaire drift.

Results & impact

  • 18 languages fielded from a single harmonised instrument
  • Cross-market comparisons that genuinely hold up
