Getting to the Facts in Public Issues and Debate
As Vice Principle Marketing & Communications at the University of Melbourne Pat was instrumental in many projects that advanced the outreach of university academic “experts” in helping the public make sense of complicated issues in the public domain.

1. Mellourne University’s TV Studio. The development of a TV studio at Melbourne University for daily outreach to enable academics to link to commercial news networks for interviews and dialogue on current social issues.
2. The Conversation Media Group. Nurturing the development of The Conversation media platform, housing the developers within my media team and providing resources and commercial guidance in the development of the proposition for commercial development. Here’s the original commercial proposal which my team pulled together with the founding partners Andrew and Jack.
