Pat Shea, Partner, Strategy and Client Services

Pat has over 25 years experience directing advertising, public relations and promotional programs for food category clients. Simultaneously working on national pork, chicken, beef and seafood clients earlier in her career, she earned the prestigious title “The Queen of Protein”. (Can you picture the tiara?)

Rounding out her career with olives, whole grains and wines (among other food groups) she’s all about the balance. Pat’s attention to detail, creative problem solving and strategic focus not only attracts clients, it often retains them for decades. In addition to working in the retail, foodservice and consumer segments, she has significant experience working with marketing boards including serving on the marketing subcommittee for the National Chicken Council and California Grown.

Not one to be tethered to her desk, Pat has worked side-by-side with chefs at the Culinary Institute at Greystone, written for a number of food magazines, and spoken at food conferences on food marketing issues. She is a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals and International Foodservice Editorial Council.
