ABOUT US – TURNING LANGUAGE INTO BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Paraphrasis is your bridge between language and business!

We provide professional translation services, creative content writing, marketing support, and language training — all in one place.

Paraphrasis, a language and marketing center uniting all key communication services, was founded in 2017 by Marijeta Plemenčić, a professor and certified court interpreter for French and Italian. She expanded her education in the field of communications during her studies in France and she is also fluent in English. Before founding Paraphrasis, Marijeta built a career spanning more than 20 years in international companies, working in marketing and communications. She developed marketing strategies and led marketing projects for some of the best-known brands in the FMCG and dental tourism industries, gaining valuable insight into how language shapes effective market communication.

The idea behind Paraphrasis was born from the growing need for a comprehensive and high-quality approach to language and marketing services — all under one roof. Marijeta wanted to create a center where linguistic precision, cultural adaptation, and marketing creativity come together, grounded in business and administrative excellence, with one clear goal: helping clients grow.

Today, Paraphrasis stands as a true bridge between language and business, offering solutions that go beyond simple translation or advertising — solutions that inspire understanding, connection and success.

    Paraphrasis collaborates with a team of experts in translation and interpreting, creative writing and linguistics, as well as marketing and administration, language training and tutoring, offering a wide range of services, including:
  • * Translations: certified translations and court interpreting, specialized or marketing translations, oral and written

  • * Marketing support: virtual marketing assistance or fractional marketing manager engagement
  • * Virtual assistance: administrative support for businesses or individuals
  • * Language training: for individuals or groups; business, professional or basic language courses
