Delfina Morganti Hernández is a writer, marketer and English-Spanish (LATAM, Argentina) transcreator and copywriter. Every day, she helps brands and fellow translator entrepreneurs boost their conversion potential through disruptive content that converts and stories that sell.

She has a Bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpreting Studies (2008-2011), unfinished studies in Language and Literature (2011-2019), and an undergraduate degree in Marketing and Advertising (2017-2019).

In 2020, Delfina created Founded in Transcreation, the first ever podcast on transcreation, her specialty service.

Convinced that marketing is a tool that can help translators coexist with (rather than simply compete against) one another in the localization market, Delfina uses her social media accounts (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) to share free content on marketing and branding masterclasses and tips for translators. She has been delivering training on literary translation, transcreation, and marketing for translators for 9 years now.
