Annual Report / Corporate Plain English Writing and Design Experts Since 2000
Australia’s company of choice for plain english business writing service, training and graphic design.
Editorial services
Andrew Pegler Media was founded on the belief that everyone should have access to easy-to-understand, concise business writing. We call this plain English and are proud to be the enemy of gobbledegook, official-ese, legal-ese and bureaucrat-ese. By helping you stay ‘on-brand’ and talk more directly to your customers, investors, electorates and employees, we make you a more effective communicator.
Graphic Design Services
Our graphic design solutions communicate information in the most legible and engaging way.
Every element on every page has a clear purpose. Our documents and reports never say, ‘Look at me’, they say ‘Look at this’. Every design element on every page informs and engages. Our crisp, clear, visually appealing design will reinforce your brand. We can also animate your results and statistics with clear, easily digestible and artful infographics, charts, tables and icons.
Plain English Business Writing Training
Our plain English training – in person or online – is a must for organisations that want their staff to write in plain English.
We train federal, state, and local government bodies, law firms, insurance companies, banks and other ASXers. These organisations trust us to pitch our plain English training at an appropriate level, to respect and develop existing staff knowledge and skills and provide useable writing and editing tips and techniques.

Thanks for all your efforts in helping Togethr Trustees get four annual reports completed on time in a year that we all agree has been extremely challenging. I look forward to working with you and the team next year.

APM skilfully negotiated the many challenges associated with project managing to get the best outcome for the Museum. The final result took our annual reporting to the next level. Thanks to everyone on the team!
Museum of Australian Democracy
I have known of Andrew and his team's expertise as specialist legal copywriters for many years, and have been finally able them to the test. I am so very glad that I could. They quickly responded to the brief and captured my company's tone of voice so well, that there were virtually no changes needed to the copy before it was finalised. Highly recommended!
