Patrick Skarr Email & Phone Number

I started watching C-SPAN to avoid watching commercials and was lucky enough to turn that hobby into a profession. Today, I work with entrepreneurs and executives who find themselves at the intersection of government, community members, and the media. Working with my talented colleagues at Culloton + Bauer Luce, we advise, strategize and implement comprehensive media and public affairs campaigns to win the hearts and minds of consumers, elected officials, regulators, and the media. A crisis is unfortunate, but poorly managing the situation can have disastrous consequences. Stepping in to help business leaders overcome ordinary and extraordinary challenges they encounter makes sure no two days are ever the same at the firm. No one has all the answers. I’ve enjoyed working with, and learning from, very talented lobbyists, litigators, communicators, executives, and entrepreneurs on challenging and complex public affairs campaigns. Working in the trenches of crisis campaigns and public affairs scrums, I’ve come up with the following observations: - Credit can go to anyone; winning is what matters.- Prepare so you don’t have to react but can decide to act. - Advice without strategy is merely a thought, and not every thought bubble is brilliant. - Doesn’t matter who gets quoted, as long as your client’s position was presented.- Expect the unexpected and avoid the self-inflicted. - If you’re not thinking three moves ahead, you’re ceding the next two moves.- Every political action has a trebled political reaction.
