Hi, I’m Patrick Shaw — a multidisciplinary creative strategist, copywriter, and experience designer/producer.

I help brands tell better stories — through strategy, messaging, and intentional experiences designed to resonate.

From concept to curtain call, I bring ideas to life.

Creative Built to Perform.

With nearly 20 years across entertainment, nightlife, travel, luxury hospitality, and bespoke events, I bring a hybrid lens to every project — merging imaginative thinking with strategic precision.

Here’s how I can help your brand.

  • Helping brands define who they are, what they stand for, and how they show up. From brand pillars and tone of voice to experience touchpoints and storytelling frameworks — I build foundations that last.

  • Crafting language that connects. Whether it’s a campaign headline, brand manifesto, or product description, I shape voice and message to resonate with the right audience — clearly, creatively, and consistently.

  • Designing the moments people remember. From luxury travel to immersive activations, I map how guests move through space, story, and emotion — building intentional journeys that feel cohesive, elevated, and uniquely on-brand.

  • Writing with structure, rhythm, and voice. From live shows and hosted experiences to content modules and brand videos, I write for performance, for personality, and for clarity — then help bring that vision to life.

  • Bridging creative and operations to bring ideas to life. I’ve directed immersive shows, pop-up activations, launch moments, and lifestyle programming — managing talent, timelines, and teams to deliver standout experiences.

  • Ideas are only as strong as their execution. I develop systems and processes that support long-term growth — whether that’s building an entertainment model from scratch or evolving an existing program into something more agile and future-ready.
