Meet the Team – Sami Rowett

Hi everyone, I joined Web-Translations as an eMarketing project manager in November 2013. I had previously been working in International eCommerce where I managed the online B2C business, specialising in the French market.  This was a very broad role ranging from product selection and content management right through to marketing and customer services. This role developed my interest for eMarketing and gives me the benefit of being able to view a project from the clients’ perspective. I graduated in 2010 with triple honours in Business, French and Spanish and during my four year course I spent some invaluable time living and working abroad. I worked for The AA in Lyon, France offering tri-lingual customer service and support.

Twitter: the new alternative to email?

Web-Translations offers an email relay translation service, but perhaps what we need is a tweet relay translation service… It seems that nowadays the fastest way to get a reply to a query or complaint is to tweet a company instead of emailing them! We have just arranged our 10-year anniversary festivities for next month, and instead of emailing venues for information, we tweeted them! And yes, we did get quick replies. It seems that we are not unique in using Twitter to contact businesses. The BBC’s “The One Show” set up an experiment to test whether people got a faster reply to a complaint via Twitter than via email, and the results were very clear that Twitter is the way to get a quick reply. Social media forces companies to reply quickly, as otherwise they may be perceived as uncommunicative and uncaring.
