Pat Blakely
Pat is a self-proclaimed Word Wizard and Content Vigilante whose marketing career started on a dare. Ever the risk-taker, Pat’s not afraid to “jump into the fire” and tackle the big, scary projects that electrify his brain (in a good way!) and make clients shout, “my guy!”
He has a diverse set of battle-tested skills that shape his content creation spellbook. With these powers combined, he helps marketing teams create assets that deliver client results — whether it’s more eyeballs on their content, more chatter in their comments section, or more money in their AMEX account.
Pat’s a life-long learner who believes that education is the fountain of youth. He’s currently learning to garden because his passion for productivity is outpaced only by his love for new potatoes.
Here is a brief taste of Pat’s personality:
What is usually playing in your headphones?
Dohm White Noise Machine… I know. I’m weird. I face it daily.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Kramer from Seinfeld.
I have no idea what he did for a living, but he could afford an apartment on the Upper West Side of New York and had time for wacky antics. If that’s not #lifegoals, I don’t know what is.
What are you happiest doing, when you are not working?
I have two daughters who keep me pretty busy. Watching them grow up to become tiny versions of me is equally fulfilling and terrifying.
What is your hidden talent?
Give me 30 minutes and we’ll be best friends.
Give me 60 minutes and we’ll be planning a vacation together.
Give me 90 minutes and we’ll be picking paint colors for the tree fort we’re going to build on our vacation together because we’re best friends.
What is one of your favourite quotes?
“15″ square garlic finger with a large donair sauce, 12″ pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and bacon, 6 donair pinwheels with no onion” — I don’t know any fancy quotes, but that’s my order at Pizza Delight. Up for a slice?
