I write high-quality content for companies helping people live their best life ✍🏻 CEO & Content Marketing Specialist at Penbridge Communications

I bet you're tired of never having enough time.

I hear ya.

It gets away from you. ⏳ You lose track of it. ⏳ You’re always running out of it.

And because your time is at a premium, you have to decide what’s going to get your attention and what will have to wait.

You and I both know, it’s your content marketing that usually gets sacrificed.

Because it takes time to write content that will drive organic traffic to your company's website. Someone has to write email sequences, get blog posts up, and put something out on social media.

And if you’ve finally admitted you and your team just can’t swing it, it takes time to find someone who can.

It’s me. I’m someone.

You can’t market a business – any business – without putting out content like:

     ✅ blogs

     ✅ emails

     ✅ ebooks

     ✅ web copy

     ✅ white papers

     ✅ case studies…

…and on and on.

Content helps you build your brand.

It answers questions your customers have.

It shows why you’re a leader in your industry.

And great content will keep bringing people to your website for years.

But you already know all that. What you don’t know is how you’re ever going to find the time to give it the effort it deserves.

The effort it NEEDS.

Here’s the secret: You don’t have to.

👉🏻 If you’re already maxed out for time
👉🏻 If your team doesn’t have the skills to do it
👉🏻 If someone used to do it but they left and now no one does it

Let’s talk about how you and I can fix that.

WHAT MY CLIENTS AND COLLABORATORS SAY

“I have rarely seen such an excellent translation, in light of the complexity of the issues.” [translated]—Canadian Council of Professional Engineers

“I can only highlight the pleasure I have had collaborating with Patrice: his rigour, proficiency in both languages and curiosity about the world are genuine assets that helped us complete the project, not to mention the human qualities he brought to the table. I am left with excellent memories of this experience. I am looking forward to working together and combining our language skills again!” [translated]—Gwennaëlle André, proofreader

Patrice Dussault, s.a.h., b.a.

I gifted 100,000 words to a friend’s boutique translation agency.

Gifted.

1 year ago, one of my long-time clients asked me to translate about 2 dozen automotive industry reposts.

Or 160,000 words.

With a deadline <2 months away.

The impossible task got me to phone my friend—whose quality translations make no doubt—and offer him and his team to share the load.

I gave away about 18 documents for translation, but I would have lost them to that deadline anyway.

And I got to make my client happy and prevent them from looking for another language service provider.

In today’s rapidly changing technological and economic landscape, make sure your clients don’t leave you for another solution provider.

And maybe we should create an overload sharing platform.

What do you think?

“In my 20 years in the publishing industry, yours is the 1st manuscript I’ve read that doesn’t need corrections.”

This is what I was told by a publishing house’s director of operations.

Here are a few notes:

Ghostwriting doesn’t mean:

❌ ghosting clients
❌ working alone in a silo
❌ coming out of it 6 months later

What ghostwriting means to me:

✔ Listening to my client to grasp the topic, target audience, key message, and tone
✔ Drafting outline
✔ Conducting research
✔ Interviewing key informants
✔ Adjusting outline with client
✔ Writing, editing, and proofreading
✔ Submitting manuscript to client, then to publishing houses

If you stick to the right method, not only will you get a professional manuscript that fits your goals and brand, you’ll also attract the attention of publishing houses: $$$

What does ghostwriting mean to you?

Your income is tied to the tools you use.

In Canada, for example, here’s your median income if you work with a:

Wrench (you fix sinks)					$67k
Crane (you lift massive objects):	$84k
Gavel (you enforce laws):			$387k
Scalpel (you save lives):				$574k
AI (you change history):				?

In 2025, language professionals made 50% of the 2004 rates fixing AI outputs, allowing companies, governments, NGOs, etc. to function properly.

And AI is the most disturbing technology in history.

So if the tool you use is that important, shouldn’t you be paid accordingly?

Hi! I’m Patrice. Check my profile out and join my 18,000+ community for more insight on the value created by language professionals.

My growth engine revved from 0 to 18,000 followers in 2.5 years.

All while posting niche content.

I did it with a strategy to:
- build trust
- propel my business
- become unforgettable
- be the go-to problem solver
- build my personal brand and authority

It got me:
- new clients
- $$ in the bank
- interview requests
- speaking opportunities
- importantly, conversations with you

Do you know how many books I had to read and courses I had to follow to get here?

None.

I work with someone who did: world-class marketing consultant Debora Prossomariti, M.Sc., the coach who propelled me here.

How do you know me and why did you read this post till the end?

Exactly.

Hey! I’m Patrice. Check out Debora’s profile and join her c. 60k community (!) to see how she can propel your business. You will want to DM her, too!

Old habits from my former 9-5 make me a better business partner as a solo pro today.

In my 20s, I learned about business processes and workflows while climbing the corporate ladder.

So when I left my executive position to become a communications consultant helping businesses expand into new markets, I brought my corporate reflexes to my home office:

🔹 Work ethics
🔹 Client 1st mindset
🔹 Processes and workflows

Now that lightning-fast technological and economic changes are pushing language professionals towards consultancy and partnership roles, I feel perfectly comfortable as an expansion partner helping your luxury brand increase its sales.

Because it’s been in me all along.

Are you having a hard time finding an expansion partner?

Women’s favourite organ on a man is…

His ear.

I know…

But who doesn’t want to feel heard and understood?

Same for your business.

You write and speak to:

- increase sales
- open new markets
- strengthen your brand

And to get to your audience’s ear, you must speak:

- from human to human
- to their needs or problems
- about your solutions or benefits

So, only you, or the content creators and translators you hire, can become client whisperers.

When was the last time you felt like you were speaking to a wall?

How did you react?

Hello! I’m Patrice. Check my profile out and join my 18,000+ community for more insights on content creation and translation for luxury car and watch brands.

Never mind the Devil. The experience is in the details.

In a luxury watch, a less-than-perfect finish can spoil the enjoyment.
In language, a mischosen word can hurt your sparkling brand.

That’s why I help luxury watch brands ensure their story travels seamlessly across borders—in one, smooth running movement.

Because in the luxury lifestyle, details create memories.

➡ What’s the one detail you never compromise on?

Hi! I’m Patrice. Check out my profile and join my 18,000+ community for more insight on content creation and translation for luxury watch and car brands.

2 success factors luxe watch makers need to get distribution partner buy-in in the face of uncertainties due to tariffs:

🔹 Local language
🔹 Cultural sensibility

Change is a risk factor you can minimize. You just need to know how to.

How do you share difficult information through your distribution channels?

Hi! My name is Patrice. Check my profile out and join my 18,000+ community for more insight on content creation and translation for luxury car and watch brands.

Almost 2026.

You’re a small but growing luxury watch manufacturer, and
trade wars just made one of your largest export markets unprofitable.

You’re anxious about losing time and money over:
🔹 R&D
🔹 market studies
🔹 production launch

And so are your distribution partners.

But here’s the thing:

There’s a market you may have not considered for expansion before:

Canada. The silver (red and white) lining.

Here, you benefit from:
🔹 a 41 million consumer market
🔹 1 of the most resilient economies
🔹 1 of the most stable banking systems
🔹 stable income bases, trending upwards
🔹 passionate enthusiast market for luxury goods
🔹 small or 0 trade tariffs with the UK, the EU, Switzerland…

And we already speak two of your languages: English and French.

Welcome to Canada.

Had you thought of expanding here?

You’re a language professional, and to thrive in our fast changing tech and economic environment, you must:

🔹 position yourself as a cultural consultant supporting businesses
🔹 learn to build and manage your own base of direct clients

So here are 8 Green Flags to look for in potential direct clients, as defined by world-class marketing and branding consultant Debora Prossomariti, M.Sc. ⬇

Own the room | Inbound marketing & Authority | For Founders and executives who want to attract their ideal clients and investors inbound from content | Featured on Business Insider

View Debora Prossomariti, M.Sc.’s profile

8 Green flags I see in the best clients I work with:

- They think long term, they have the vision, and are patient. 
- They trust you as an expert in your area, they actually listen to you and follow your advice. 
- They are humble, they don’t pretend to know everything about everything. They learn and are open and curious, 
- They are not flirty and don’t hit on me. They know I mean business. 
- They are willing to invest a lot in their education, their business and in themselves. 
They understand that being cheap has a cost, and there’s a reason why real experts charge a premium. High quality is not cheap and shouldn’t be.
- They understand the concept of calculated risk. They are risk takers, but they have leverage and can adapt. 
- They are okay with failing sometimes. They know it’s part of the game. That failure is not the opposite of success, but part of it.
- They respect their stakeholders and respect the contracts. They pay on time and are communicative. They share feedback and are not afraid of admitting if they made a mistake and look for solutions, not people to blame. 

What’s your top green flag?

You’re a luxury motorcar manufacturer:

🔹 Struggling in the regulators’ ping pong game
🔹 Electrifying, then reinvesting in internal combustion
🔹 Closing and re-opening plants, moving your workforce
🔹 Considering the switch to synthetic e-fuels or biofuels
🔹 Producing less than 1,000 or 10,000 units per year

And on top of it all:

You have to rally:

🔹 distributors
🔹 employees
🔹 customers
🔹 investors

In their respective languages

Well here’s the thing:

You can protect your:

🔹 reputation
🔹 labour force
🔹 market share
🔹 financial results

By rallying all stakeholders around your journey.

Don’t wait ‘til it’s too late.
Get help from specialized translators and interpreters.

Hi! My name is Patrice. Check out my profile and join my 18,000+ community for more insight on luxury watch and car content creation and translation.

You’re a pro racing driver with 10s of trophies, but not making the impact you’d like on your French-speaking audience.

What if I told you that your next LinkedIn posts can:
🔹 widen your fanbase
🔹 create solid engagement
🔹 build long-term relationships
🔹 maintain the conversation after the race
🔹 attract potential sponsors or keep current partners

All you have to do is hire me as your ghostwriter, and I’ll:

1. Sit with you to talk about your target audience, key messages, voice and tone
2. Interview key informants if need be
3. Conduct necessary research
4. Draft outlines for you
5. Get your approval
6. Write, edit, proofread
7. Submit posts for your review

8. Your posts will be ready to go, and you’ll see partnership opportunities come in.

This way, you retain control of the process while focusing on what you do best: top podiums.
