The Writer - Patrick Flannery

Pat is one of those rare creative types who actually has a significant background outside the studio. After graduating from the Carleton School of Journalism in 1994, he went for the money, first doing tax returns for farmers, then spending ten years on the road in the knuckle-bruising world of industrial equipment sales. Through it all he never lost his taste for great writing, and kept his own skills honed on blogs, flyers, websites and sales proposals. In 2005 he decided to take a stab at the proverbial pie in the sky: Doing Something You Like To Do For A Living. Good luck and good friends landed him his big break at Surge Communications, and his career as a copywriter was launched in style. His potent combination of business savvy, eclectic knowledge and incisive writing style makes him the writer who “gets it” when it comes to advertising and corporate communications.
