Global Audio Technology company streamlines audio delivery with Lifted, an Upwork Company™
Lifted, an Upwork Company™ helped a global audio tech firm deliver multi-language audio at scale, meeting milestones and building repeatable systems efficiently.
At a glance.
Summary
A global audio technology company faced one of its most ambitious challenges to date: to produce and deliver a multi-language audio experience across regions, file types, and production steps. Traditional staffing models weren’t built for this scale, especially when the work spanned multiple time zones and involved diverse languages like Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, and French Canadian. Lifted delivered an outsourcing/SOW model that paired automation, operational oversight, and globally sourced talent, which enabled the company to meet every production milestone while building repeatable systems for future scalability.
Challenges we tackled
High-Volume Creative Execution
Thousands of scripts required fast, accurate recording across a wide range of languages.
File Transfer Constraints
Audio files encountered transfer delays, metadata mismatches, and QA inconsistencies.
Workflow Visibility
Stakeholders needed centralized quality tracking, contributor oversight, and milestone alignment.
How our solution helped
Lifted delivered an outsourcing/SOW model that paired automation, operational oversight, and globally sourced talent, which enabled the company to meet every production milestone while building repeatable systems for future scalability.
Onboarded 5900+ voice talent, editors, and transcribers in under a week.
Sourced talent across 40+ languages and dialects, including hard-to-source variations like Scottish, English, and Turkish.
Embedded project teams to drive repeatable task execution.
Key success factors
Lifted’s offering allowed the company to scale with precision and without internal strain.
Production Automation
Automated file transfers, metadata capture, and tagging reduced manual work and increased consistency.
24/7 Progress
Global coverage enabled continuous production across multiple time zones.
Centralized Oversight
All tasks were tracked and coordinated under a unified project structure, improving delivery confidence.
The outcome
From Workflow Breakdown to Production Engine: This engagement transformed the client’s approach to multilingual audio delivery. What once required piecing together contractors across disconnected systems is now a streamlined, scalable model driven by Lifted’s outsourcing/SOW operational layer and curated talent base. Over a 90-day production cycle, the team hit every milestone, resolved technical handoffs, and built infrastructure for future audio rollouts. This partnership reinforced that scaling creative production isn’t just about hiring fast; it’s about aligning the right systems and global contributors to deliver quality at speed.
While this work was performed when these Enterprise solutions were embedded in Upwork, the same offerings and more are now available through Lifted, an Upwork Company.
