Meet a dependable communications writer who can make what you say appeal to everyone.

Investing in written communication helps grow your business. To see a return, your content must be engaging, easy to understand and effective across all channels. It should also be clear for today’s multilingual audiences who use English as a shared language.

My name is David Pandt. I’m a U.S.-based communications writer focused on Global English, which is clear English that is understood worldwide. I also use transcreation, which adapts messages across languages while keeping the original meaning, and AI to get advanced results. 

Together, these tools help create messaging that is easy to understand and worth people’s time. If you are interested the benefits of Global English, consider hiring me. 

When you speak Global English, you speak the language of the world.

More than 1.5 billion people speak English worldwide, making it the most widely used language. It is estimated that non-native English speakers outnumber native speakers by as much as 3 to 1.

Global English, also known as plain or clear English, is a style that ensures clarity and consistency for both native and non-native speakers. It emphasizes logical, literal and precise communication, avoiding the nuances and regional differences that can confuse some English speakers.

What’s more, Global English translates more easily into other languages.

By choosing Global English as a shared “bridge language,” you can reach a wider audience and strengthen your communication across cultures and borders.

Transcreation ensures you get your message right around the world.

Transcreation is the process of adapting a message from one language to another while maintaining its intent, style, tone, and context. Similar to Global English, it acts as a bridge to connect with diverse audiences. 

Effective transcreation ensures that a target audience understands and appreciates a translated message as the original audience would. This includes considering cultural differences such as humor, idioms, and metaphors, as well as the audience's needs and expectations.

Transcreation will help you navigate the complexities of global communication, leading to a more successful and sustainable international presence. 

Yes, I use AI in my work, and it's for the better.

AI is transforming copy, content and communication writing by offering new levels of efficiency, accuracy and creativity. It can quickly process large amounts of information to identify trends and insights, helping create more targeted and engaging content. AI also improves writing by suggesting grammar edits and offering different styles, making the final result clear, polished and easy to understand.

The paragraph above was written with AI assistance. It shows that using AI effectively means more than choosing the right keywords or prompts. To get the best results, you still need a writer’s insight and skill to guide the process and shape the message.

I can help you use AI to create content that is clear, accessible and ready for multilingual audiences.

Why there's no portfolio on this site. 

During my 17 years working as a copy, content and comms writer in Shanghai, and throughout my 25-plus-year career, nearly all my work has come through fast-moving industry connections, often second or third degree referrals.

Clients usually find me through people they trust, and after a brief conversation, they often have a good sense of whether I’m the right fit. The process almost never involves viewing a portfolio.

What it does involve is my willingness to create a short, custom writing sample. One that is tailored in format, style and tone, with clear messaging that reflects a strong understanding of their messaging goals and how I can help meet them.

If that appeals to you, let's talk.
