ecouter pour mieux parteger

Non-PRO French to English Marketing Marketing slogan for a property development company
Calling for creativity!

This is a slogan for an international property development company, and I am looking for a jazzy way to translate it. The key concepts are obviously "listen" and "share" or "work together". I was hoping you could give me some good suggestions (as you always do).

Thank you in advance!

Hello Brigitte. There is no real context, other than it is a grand heading in a marketing brochure and the slogan is repeated throughout. I imagine "partager" refers to sharing the work or development project.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to all for the great ideas! I think I will go with "listening for better cooperation" to keep it simple, but all the slogans were excellent marketing speak!"

By listening we work better together

Or, "by listening to you we work better together" :)

(We) listen to become more involved

A bit more context would help! Waht does "partager" relate to?

More ideas without much conviction (it can't be helped - the more I know, the easier I find it to be creative):
Listening for better cooperation
Better support - because we listen
Or (a bit further removed from the original):
COMPANY NAME - the listening company
Peer comment(s):

agree Peter Shortall : I like "better support - because we listen".

improve communication by learning to listen

Just another suggestion - trying to convey the idea with different words

Collaboration Begins with Information

Without much context and not having seen the brochure, this might be a possibility.

we're all ears, for your benefit.

another idea. A little more on the vague side. or "... for everyone's benefit".

or "we're all ears so you don't have to be", just because I like the way it sounds, but in reality it conveys even less the original meaning. I thought I'd just through it in... for free! :-))

Good luck Sylvia!

we listen...then we make it happen

I also thought of 'We're better together', but it doesn't incorporate any thought of 'listening'.

Also could be 'First we listen...then we make it happen'
Peer comment(s):

agree Sarah Walls : Nice! Or perhaps "We listen...then together we make it happen"...
