About MLA
The Media Localization Alliance (MLA) is a free, global non-profit organization designed to create an information hub where Trusted Partner Network (TPN) members operating certified dubbing studios can access a collaborative network of nearly 50 studios worldwide, fostering deeper connections and growth opportunities.
MLA members receive exclusive benefits including discounts on studio rentals, idea exchange, project promotion, and participation in in-person meetings funded by the organization. These gatherings happen at least twice a year during major industry events such as NAB, MIPCOM or IBC. Updates about members and their work are shared monthly on the MLA website and LinkedIn page.
MLA will also serve as a showcase for emerging technologies that enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve turnaround time. A network of MPAA-compliant, TPN-certified studios strengthens trust and positions the group as a powerful force in the global localization marketplace.
