In addition, brand guidelines specific to each market that detail corporate requirements for tone and terminology were developed. This was achieved with close collaboration between TransPerfect and ABN AMRO.
Linde van Loenen, digital marketing strategist from ABN AMRO Private Banking, said: “The assignment was a real challenge with a big deadline. We needed a lot of new content for different countries, provided by local experts with their own style and vision. Every piece of content was related to our complex financial services, in a high demanding niche market. TransPerfect did a great job and delivered everything on time, with high quality—a powerful start for a new long-term partnership.”
TransPerfect President and CEO Phil Shawe stated, “As ABN AMRO Private Banking continues to operate in various markets across Europe, we are proud to stand alongside them and help create meaningful customer interactions through localised websites.”
The private banking arm of Dutch lender ABN Amro had a lacklustre performance in Q4 2020, with outflows in its home market as a result of lowering the threshold for negative interest rates.
