(Cri8iversary) Webinar - Professional Translations for your services

Webinar: Professional translations for your services

Find out why professional translations are so important in reaching a broader clientele

Find out why you should choose professional translations instead of machine translating or, worse still, resorting to Artificial Intelligence to translate your contents.

Ever since Cri8ive's beginnings, but also a long time prior, I translated a quantity of texts to and from Italian and English alike; legal documents, blog posts, reviews, articles, but also magazines, books and booklets. Yet  nowadays it's quite common to overlook this pivotal step for the growth of a business or a clientele. The reasons given are for the most part a disheartening "I'll have Google Translate do it", but also, alarmingly often as of late, "I use ChatGPT for my translations". In this Webinar (also available as a video below) I'll explain why this approach is deeply wrong and why you should be avoiding machine translation, seeking out professional translation services like Cri8ive's.

(Many thanks to my sister Catherine "Treehugger0123" for her invaluable help with getting this translation out in a timely way!)

To celebrate the first Cri8iversary, I created this webinar to answer something you've certainly already wondered. Why you should choose Cri8ive for your creative projects and endeavors? It's a logical question! The sprawling market of content creators has flourished over the last few years.  Why you should chose me over a competitor? And how can Cri8ive give shape to your projects and help you in reaching your goals? This webinar (also available as a video below) is here to answer that.

It's the final retcon! Dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun duuuun...

Here's hoping that Europe will forgive this rather bold homage! I couldn't think of a better way to announce that Cri8iversary isn't going down without a fight! After very nearly succeeding the last round, and due to the umpteenth technical glitches, the event is back with a new schedule packed full with events and activities to celebrate Cri8ive's first year on the Web. We're starting on Friday, May 23rd and the final event, with the Wheel of Fortune, will be held on Sunday, June 1rst

Cri8iversary Strikes Back!

 Cri8iversary strikes back!

After the umpteenth setbacks and missed reschedules, Cri8iversary is back with a new program

Cri8iversary is back, from April 11th to 20th

The Cri8iversary seems to be plagued with ill luck. Ever since I kicked off the event, a series of setbacks and unforseen complications caused me to postpone it not just once, but thrice over, much to my chagrin. As Brandon Lee said in "The Crow", however, "it can't rain all the time". So welcome back, once again, the new Cri8iversary program that should run - and I'm not jinxing it! - from today to Sunday 20th, overlapping with the Easter weekend.

Shift Happens

Shift Happens; Cri8iversary rescheduled

Due to a series of technical problems, the Cri8iversary Week has been rescheduled - and expanded. Find out when - and how you can join!

Why the Cri8iversary Week got rescheduled

"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" - Murphy's Law.

This could describe in a nutshell the series of problems and setbacks - for the most part technical - that have befallen what was slated to be the program for the Cri8iversary Week. If you follow my Social Profiles, you'll have noticed an incongrous lack of updates after the first two days. And you might have wondered if the Meta algorythm was somehow to blame for it. That's not what happened.

Since then, another year has passed, bringing home yet more successes and goals; a milestone that I want to celebrate with you all, through seven days of online events, games, special offers and many more chances to dive into everything that Cri8ive has to offer. Welcome to  the first Cri8iversary!

Upcoming news on Cri8ive.it

Upcoming news on Cri8ive.it

Although both the blog and the Social profiles have been scarcely updated in the last few months, Cri8ive.it is in full activity and about to launch many cool new contents in the next weeks.

Big news brewing for Cri8ive.it

If I was to describe the drawing-to-a-close 2024 in a word, hectic would be it. Ever since I launched Cri8ive.it last February, there's not been a single dull moment as projects and works-in-progress multiplied all around. This is the reason why some of you may have noticed that my presence on the Cri8ive Blog and Social Networks has been so scarce - quite simply, because I was working on my client's requests. And over these months several cool new projects have seen the light - one more exciing and colorful than the next.

Cri8ive Blog - Hello, World...

Cri8ive Blog - Hello, World...

Welcome to Cri8ive Blog, where creativity and ideas find voice and color.

Happy birthday, Cri8ive Blog. 

Let me tell you, it feels strange to write on a personal platform again, when I spent the last twenty years writing for third-party clients. During the last two decades I have been in charge of the editorial contents of portals, websites and magazines, and I've lost count of all the articles, reviews and newsletters I've signed (or not - ghostwriting is part of what I do). I taught myself the intricacies of SEO and worked hard as a copywriter, in italian and sometimes in english. I wanted to get my own personal blog started, but somehow I could never quite give it a true identity or a shape that had me go "Yeah, that's it! That's how I want my blog to feel like!"

Why a blog?
