Strategic Marketing - Teaching - Consulting
The strongest marketing doesn't start with an idea. It starts with understanding the business challenge, asking the right questions, and developing a strategy that guides every decision that follows.
For more than three decades, Patrick Kane has helped healthcare organizations solve complex marketing challenges through strategic planning, branding, and integrated marketing communications. Today, he brings that same real-world perspective to the classroom, helping students develop the strategic thinking that transcends changing technologies and marketing trends.

Marketing isn't about creating advertisements. It's about solving business challenges. Creative execution matters, but only when it's guided by research, strategy, and purpose. That's the perspective reflected throughout this collection of work.
