ABOUT PATRICK COLLINS
I work with growth-stage companies that have reached a point where marketing activity has increased, but alignment hasn’t kept pace with the business. After more than 20 years in marketing and communications leadership roles, I’ve seen the same pattern repeatedly: as organizations grow, marketing often becomes more active but less coordinated. Ownership becomes unclear, messaging drifts, and teams work hard without the clarity they need. My role is to help leadership teams step back, regain alignment, and move forward with clear priorities. Through Morris Marketing Group, we provide senior-level marketing and communications leadership for organizations navigating growth, change, and complexity. Our work often includes: • clarifying marketing ownership and structure • strengthening message and narrative alignment • guiding strategy and execution across internal teams and external partners Over the past two decades I’ve worked across healthcare, financial services, hospitality, gaming, entertainment, nonprofit, and consumer sectors. Memphis-based. Always happy to compare notes with leaders navigating growth.
