public sector, Arts & Museums:
bringing CULTURE AND history to life
We specialise in editing, proofing and translating public sector, arts and cultural texts in English and French as well as other languages. It takes a high level of skill, sensitivity and insider knowledge to work in this technical area, and we have the experience and passion to ensure your copy is pristine and makes sense to your audience. Our clients include France Muséums, the Horniman Museum, NPUAE, the Venice Biennale, various independent artists, and public bodies and charities.
We understand gallery audiences and how to interpret and edit the information on panels and object labels in museum galleries. As a text editor, it is important to unite the tone and voice of content from various curators, keeping the audience and accessibility in mind. We work with the museum to devise a style guide as well as chairing workshops to guide the museum's writers. We put tracking systems in place to manage the flow of work and to keep everyone on schedule during a project, and demonstrate diplomacy when liaising with authors. We also guide community groups and accessibility groups at museums, holding workshops to help them understand how to interpret objects into text.
"Zoe is very positive and easy to work with, consistently responding to feedback and changes with a calm attitude. Zoe showed great diplomacy and sensitivity in the editing process, as well as in her communication directly with the authors. I personally enjoyed her can-do attitude and knew that we could rely on her attention to detail and judgement."

"Working with The Content Creation Company has been a pleasure. They are an incredibly skilled team who have transformed our texts into a professional and accessible publication we can be really proud of. It was a very challenging text due to its technicality and length, and the fact that we needed it to be suitable for a broad and varied target audience. The CCC more than rose to the challenge and were able to not only hugely improve its readability and clarity but also to advise on structure and format, leading to the useful learning resource we now have. The entire process with The CCC has been straightforward and incredibly well organised, giving me complete confidence from the start. The team were able to be very flexible and respond agilely to delays on our side of the project. We have also benefitted immensely from Zoë’s tireless advice and guidance throughout; this is the first publication of this scale we have undertaken. I am incredibly impressed and look forward to future opportunities to work with The Content Creation Company."
