“I’ve had the benefit of working with Patrick on a number of different programs from the Coors Light Silver Bullet Express to social media activation to brand equity work. What I appreciate most about Pat is twofold: First, is his healthy appetite to test the boundaries of a brand to find breakthrough opportunities and second, his willingness to allow the brand team to participate in the campaign development process beyond the initial briefing discussion. This reinforces the sense that he is invested not only in the quality of his creative but the business results that that creative delivers in turn. I believe these traits are fueled by his infectious curiosity, as he is able to use insights he’s gathered from a variety of experiences, stories, and observations to inform his creative process in the best interest of the brand. His fingerprint on the success of the Coors Light business is undeniable. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Patrick in the future and continue to have his work add value to the brands and portfolios I manage.”

Truly an exceptional creative, he is able to navigate through the clutter and get right to the core of any idea. What has set him apart is his ability to amplify those ideas and generate multi-touchpoint consumer campaigns that engage our consumers in a meaningful brand story. His expertise and experience allow him to easily move beyond traditional media to pull in digital and promotional elements to create breakthrough communication plans that have had meaningful impact on our business. He has been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him again soon.”
— Jeremy Oxley, Director of Marketing: Chocolate & Seasonal: Kraft Canada
“Patrick’s a truly creative guy who just happens to have picked ‘creative’ as a job. Our gain is the music scene/BBQ pit/reality TV’s loss. Experience, advertising, events, online, promotions... he just wants to play with all kinds of cool stuff and make more cool stuff for your consumers to play with. He’s also a good guy who plays nice with others (a bonus in this business). A lot of people throw the word ‘engagement’ around in marketing. Patrick is actually engaging - both as a colleague and in terms of dreaming up original ideas that make peoples’ eyes light up. Give him a broad canvas and let him build you something new.”
— David Williams, VP Strategy, Partner, Central Station
“Patrick possesses a combination of attributes that is rare these days. First, he is a killer creative guy|design guy|idea guy. Strong ideas well executed - consistently - in traditional or digital. Second, he has a practical understanding of the business and that killer thinking applied to sponsorship and promotion will provide stronger immediate return. Third, great guy, pleasure to work with. Other than all that, a complete hack.”
— John Lee, Partner: The Electric Fan Company
“I have been lucky enough to know Patrick for the last 5 years. As a master of activation, Patrick excels at coming up with big ideas, that are both on strategy and deliver business results.

Thanks Patrick .. you rock !”
— Marilyn Barefoot, President: Barefoot Brainstorming
