Textbroker Adds Spanish and Dutch Content Creation Services
The Textbroker Group, the leading platform for on-demand, unique written content, is proud to announce its two newest languages: Spanish and Dutch. Textbroker.es and textbroker.nl were opened February 1.
With the success of the German, French, and British versions of the Textbroker content creation platform, the two newest sites help the group serve even more European languages.
“Demand for unique, quality content exists in every language, and we deliver freelance-written text faster, better and easier than traditional methods,” said Jan Becker-Fochler, CEO of Sario Marketing GmbH, Textbroker’s parent company. “As a result, our expertise in matching qualified authors with client needs has translated well into new markets.”
Prices at Textbroker’s European websites, including textbroker.es and textbroker.nl, start at 1.2 Euro cents per word and are based on the quality expected from the writer. All author submissions are checked to be unique with Copyscape, the leading anti-plagiarism site, as well as by Textbroker’s proprietary testing. All writers are continually reviewed for quality by an in-house team consisting of native speakers for each of Textbroker’s languages.

Successful Launch Of textbroker.fr
Just three months ago, we launched the new service textbroker.fr. The platform offers the same Textbroker quality levels and quick turnaround for Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, France and other French-speaking countries. Press releases, website content, travel reports, SEO articles and product descriptions are now available in French at reasonable rates.
We've now grown our French author database and fully tested the quality levels, ensuring that fast turnaround on all quality levels is possible.
“Finally, the French market can take advantage of competitive pricing starting at 1.2 cents per word,” said Natascha Richter, who manages the portal from Mainz, Germany. Since the Internet is available across countries and borders, the French native is excited about exporting the successful Textbroker model.
Clients registered with textbroker.de can also use their information to log in to textbroker.fr. Unfortunately, clients with accounts with textbroker.com will have to register for textbroker.fr separately.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Textbroker International, LLC, the leading online platform for on-demand, unique written content, today announced the appointment of Phillip R. Thune as CEO-Americas.
"We are pleased to welcome Phillip to Textbroker," said Jan Becker-Fochler, founder and CEO of Sario Marketing GmbH, the parent company of Textbroker. "We will rely on Phillip's extensive Internet and media background to further accelerate our strong growth in the U.S., and attain our goal of becoming the trusted resource for on-demand content for U.S. businesses."
Mr. Thune was most recently the Chief Executive Officer of HireMeNow.com, the first completely online temporary staffing firm. Before that, he was, at various times, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and a Director of MIVA (formerly known as FindWhat.com), a leading performance-based online advertising company. Mr. Thune helped lead MIVA from 35 employees and $500,000 in annual revenue at the end of 1999 to 500 employees and nearly $200 million in revenue in 2005. Mr. Thune helped MIVA raise over $34 million dollars, acquire five businesses for a total of $230 million, and achieve a market capitalization of over $700 million. Prior to MIVA, he served as Co-founder, Chief Financial Officer and a Director of Broadcasting Partners Holdings, L.P., which was sold to Citadel Communications for $190 million in early 2000. At the time, Broadcasting Partners was the 24th largest radio group in the United States with 38 stations in 11 markets. Before that, he worked at Alex.

Mr. Thune also was Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategic Planning for BPI, a publicly-traded radio broadcasting company that was sold in 1995 and is now part of Clear Channel.
"I'm excited to join a company that has created a new category in the online space: on-demand, crowdsourced, custom content," said Thune. "The company's growth to date in both Germany and the U.S. is impressive, and has positioned us to lead the movement to leverage the internet for faster, better, easier, and less expensive services from the 'crowd.'"
Mr. Thune graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University. He will be based in Textbroker's recently-opened New York City office.
