Ochenta’s Story

The global content landscape is constantly evolving across cultures and languages—and so are we.

But there’s one challenge that remains: stories can’t connect us if we can’t understand them.

That’s why our founder, Lory Martínez, launched Studio Ochenta: a creative studio dedicated to producing and promoting multilingual content that bridges cultural and linguistic divides.

Originally established as an audio production studio, Studio Ochenta has grown into a full-service multilingual creative agency, offering expertise in podcasts, videos, web content, and copywriting. Our mission is simple: to make content accessible, engaging, and authentic for audiences everywhere.

We specialize in multilingual translation, localization, and global promotion strategies, helping brands and organizations tell their stories in over 20 languages. With a 100% remote and international team, we collaborate seamlessly across time zones and cultures to create universal stories that resonate deeply with native-speaking audiences—no matter where they are.

Since its founding, Studio Ochenta has produced award-winning content for audiences across Europe, the MENA region, Asia, and the Americas. Recognized as a global leader in multilingual storytelling, our work has earned accolades such as the Webbies, the Lovies, the WAN-IFRAs, and the Premios Ondas Globales del Podcast.

Today, Studio Ochenta is proud to lead the way in crafting world-class, multilingual content that connects people across borders and languages.
