Empower Translate

The grin of someone who works for a multi-award-winning company... we think Clare's smile says it all! We are over the moon to be Market Research Society (MRS) Oppies winners of 'Best Support Services' this year - thanks to the Empower team's #mrx interpreting and IDI localization system. The judges said: “[Empower] rose to the dual challenges of a demanding technical brief and a tight timeframe in providing a comprehensive range of full-service localisation for specialist IDIs. They tailored their services to seamlessly meet the needs of the client - saving both time and money without ever compromising quality.” As ever, with huge thanks to... ...our client partners, for your continued support ...our linguists, who are always happy for our 'art of the possible' conversations ...our wonderful team, who work tirelessly to produce the 'Best Support Services'! It was also wonderful to be up on the podium again with category sponsor Criteria Fieldwork's Danielle Simpson!

It's November, which means pumpkins have turned in carriages, Mariah Carey has officially ❄ defrosted ❄... and we are gearing up for the Market Research Society (MRS) Industry Awards!

A special shout-out to those in our sponsored category, International Research - Bilendi & respondi, Zinc Network, Gallup, Lloyd's Register Foundation, Google, MTM, Ipsos UK, Shell, Opinium, Dynata, Infotools, Insights powered by Harmoni, STRAT7 Jigsaw, INCITE, Kantar We look forward to seeing you all on 2nd December in London! ✨

Sharing for awareness with our UK #mrx colleagues - this research on behalf of the Market Research Society (MRS) turns the spotlight back on our industry, and the representation within. Make sure to have your voice heard, and represented!

Awards season can end now... Empower CEO, Ruth Partington, has finished it in style! 😎 There were no case studies, no submissions, no votes to win these accolades. We are moved to see spontaneous and genuine recognition across two industries for our very own insight localization revolutionary. At the end of September, we were grateful that the ESOMAR Insights250 Global Innovator & Leadership Awards recognised Ruth for her contribution to the #mrx industry, while the Association of Translation Companies (ATC) recognised her deeply impactful work representing the UK translation industry across sectors, government, and internationally. Congratulations to our Insights250 2024 Winner, and the ATC's 'Most Outstanding Chair'! 🏆

Calling all Poirots, Agatha Christies, and Sherlocks - can you help us solve this mystery?! 🕵♀️ Empower CEO, Ruth Partington, has been shortlisted for the Insight250 Global Leadership & Innovator awards! 🎉 🎖 The awards celebrate leaders, innovators and pioneers who enhance our #mrx industry. Empower advisory board member and former ESOMAR president Dan Foreman is a previous winner. And we're sure that Ruth's contribution to setting industry standards for international research localization, and her work with the Market Research Society (MRS) on increasing representation in research, has played a big part in her being shortlisted. However, we can't be certain. Quite simply because...... We have NO idea who nominated Ruth this year! Was it you?! We would love to know! 🔽

Adam Barry and Jonny Bates will be in London on 25th September for the Market Research Society (MRS) #mrx B2B Conference 💪 Join them to examine how the business landscape and buyers’ behaviour is evolving, and how B2B research is innovating to meet new and escalating insight demands of international businesses 🌏 With key contributions from the likes of MAERSK and Sage, and fellow sponsors FlexMR, IDR, Prevision Research and RONIN International - it's set to be an insightful day! 😎 Adam and Jonny look forward to seeing you there 👐

We are overjoyed to be Market Research Society (MRS) Operations Awards 2024 Finalists 🤩 🏆 As our CEO Ruth says every year, the entry jitters never go away... waiting to hear if our case study has made the Finalist cut is ALWAYS a nail-biting experience. But, we have somehow managed to do just that for 6 years in a row - in no small way thanks to our wonderful #mrx client partners for supporting us with glowing testimonials, and the opportunity to work on hugely important projects in the first place! With a shout-out to our long-time category sponsors, Criteria Fieldwork, and fellow finalist E-Tabs 🤗 We can't wait to see you there! 🎉
