A History of Rapport International
Rapport International began as a small translation company in 1987, founded on meaningful relationships, many of which endure to this day.
In 2004, the company found a new owner in Wendy MacKenzie Pease, a global marketing expert and cultural wordsmith. Having lived in Taiwan, Mexico, and the Philippines prior to settling in the US, Wendy had been searching for a company that would feed her passion for promoting and supporting multilingual marketing and communications while balancing family life... Rapport International was the perfect fit. Wendy nurtured client relations while building a diverse team focused on continual quality improvement and cost and time efficiencies. Within three years the business had tripled its revenue, launched its website, and landed new business with brand-name clients.
In 2015, inspired by 10 years of steady growth, the company expanded its offerings to include interpreting services via the acquisition of Nebraska-based ICI International. Since, Rapport International has attained thought leadership status within the industry as a result of its popular The Global Marketing Show podcast and the 2021 publication of Wendy’s book, The Language of Global Marketing: Translate your Domestic Strategies into International Sales and Profits.
In 2022, the company was awarded the prestigious “E Award” for Export Service from the US Department of Commerce, the highest recognition a US entity can receive for its contribution toward the expansion of US exports.
Our commitment to providing superior service is in our DNA. We live and breathe our Mission, Vision, and Values every day and within every interaction, internally and externally, because we believe that accurate, sensitive communication can bring people together and make the world a better place for all its citizens.

Favorite Language Quote: “Your words – any language.” – Rapport International (because, as she says, “That about sums it up!”)
In her own words: “I learn something new every day.”
Most interesting thing learned on the job: “Bi-lingual employees of clients aren’t the best option for editing translations for company materials. Translators are trained and skilled in their fields of expertise and trusting someone who isn’t qualified to do such work will result in errors and wasted time.”
