Our Clients
What the industry says about US
Narrative Entertainment, UK
Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the GL help we received during our transition of all our channels from Sony to Narrative. All the work with the Movie & Entertainment channels rebranding to Great! and the numerous EPG Listings we delivered to you around this time were always efficiency produced and distributed and updated across our EPG platforms.
TROS KOMPAS, MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS, NETHERLANDS
The Global Listings press schedules are very good. Especially as we have very little space in the TV Guide sections, these are still very useful to us. In addition, the Global Listings TV highlights documents and press reports are also a great way for us to make choices of what TV programmes to feature.

An uncomfortable truth for every platform: your most expensive content can be your least-watched — not because it’s bad, but because no one can find it. A vague, generic or poorly structured synopsis does real, measurable damage. It buries titles in search. It confuses recommendation engines. And it loses the click in the half-second a […]

My AI avatar has something to admit. Yesterday I built an AI version of myself — one photo, a short voice clip, a script. Watch what “she” says about the 20% she can’t do. In fact, watch to the very end — she cuts off mid-sentence. The AI couldn’t finish the one last line I gave it. […]

Decoded by Thalia™ is back — and this season I’m decoding the most underestimated 200 words in television: the programme synopsis. Not the trailer. Not the artwork. The synopsis — those few lines of text that quietly decide whether your show is found, clicked and watched… or scrolled past forever.

Freelancers often ask why passing a translations test doesn’t always lead to immediate work. In broadcast localisation and metadata, approval means your quality meets the standard — not that demand is guaranteed every week.

“Can’t AI just write all the synopses now?” — it’s the question I’m asked most. My answer: AI can write a synopsis in a second. It takes craft to write one that converts. GL-SEO™ is AI-enabled by design — it structures, tags and optimises at a scale no human team could match. But the words […]
