Spanish term

vibren juntos

Spanish to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
A fun one as it's nearly Christmas.

In a Powerpoint presentation for a telephone company from Spain. Context is as follows: XXXX is a brand of phone.

XXXX es el facilitador que hace que las personas se unan y compartan vivencias; hace que ***vibren juntas***, proporcionándoles momentos extraordinarios para que saquen lo mejor de sí mismas.

It occurs all the way through the text and so far I have been using 'connect' but I wonder if that doesn't quite catch the meaning of being on the same wavelength. TIA

Para que saquen lo mejor de sí mismas This makes it sound almost like some kind of spiritual experience, as if it makes us better, purer people to be able to swap selfies. A load of guff, obviously, but to me it does seem to indicate that the copywriter is aiming to convey something more than sharing enjoyment: an intensity of feeling and a feeling of closeness.

Jane tells us that this expression is used all the way through the text. In principle, it sounds as though they're using it as a catchphrase, and it would be good to find an English equivalent that could be repeated similarly. Ideally, a verb, otherwise it's likely to mean quite a lot of rewriting.
Charles Davis Dec 24, 2014:
It's more than that, Pat In practice, I agree that "vibrar juntos" involves the kind of thing you're talking about, sending each other photos and videos and so on. But the term expresses something deeper than the mere practicalities of sharing enjoyable experiences. It implies sharing feelings and being in sympathy with each other: sharing a form of intimacy. That's the idea this company is selling here.
patinba Dec 24, 2014:
Vibren juntos I am not sure anyone, except perhaps George, has reflected the real meaning of "vibrar juntos," the idea of which can be summarised as "sharing enjoyment" - if you are at a rock concert and you send a video to your friends (compartiendo vivencias) your friends can share in the enjoyment.

resonate (with each other)

If it's repeated a lot you may not want to say "with each other" every time, but you can talk about people "resonating", meaning they're in tune or in sympathy with each other. So you could put "resonate" alone sometimes, "resonate with each other" now and then and even "resonate together", if you like.

"When two people resonate, one says that they are "on the same wavelength" or "in tune with each other.""

Hi Jane. I wondered about "vibrating in sympathy", but I just don't think you tend to talk about people vibrating. My first thought was "sharing the same vibe", but in the context you've quoted you don't want to repeat "share", and anyway it might be a bit too colloquial.

Thanks Charles, this definitely works better than vibrating together!!! J

Thanks, franglish :) Happy Christmas!

That's good, but it might not work so well if repeated many times, and from what Jane says this occurs all through her text. But thanks for the comment, and Happy Christmas!

Many thanks, Thayenga! Merry Christmas to you too, and a happy and prosperous New Year :)
agree Werner Maurer : best of the lot, and the one that most sounds like "real English".

Thanks very much, Werner, and Happy Christmas :)
agree neilmac : Although I don't think this bears repeating several times throughout the text...

Well, you could probably get away with some repetitions, and maybe ring the changes (no pun intended). Cheers, Neil, and have a good Xmas and New Year :)

that they vibrate together

to vibrate has a figurative meaning
Note from asker:
Thanks Francois. To my ear this sounds decidedly odd in British English, maybe it's OK in US English?
Peer comment(s):
neutral neilmac : The lurking "fnarr fnarr" factor in there would preclude its use for me.

tune in together / ring along (with each other)

My shot

"tune in" reflects being on the same sheet of music / wavelength / frequency and has a technical twist to it, while “ringing along“ rhymes with “singing along” at the very same rock concert patinba aptly alluded to ;)

breathe as one

...if you want to get real creative. This is marketing, after all. Someone else said resonate - that's great, too. Just throwing out an alternative in case Charles' excellent answer doesn't ring your bell.
