Mr. Yore embodies over 18 years of professional advertising and media experience. After being employed as an underclassmen to teach Creative Strategy and Execution at Michigan State University, he was then made Director of Advertising for Ala Carte Entertainment, a Chicago-based company specializing in events, dining, live music and nightlife. While at Ala Carte, he helped the private company overachieve it's annual sales goal of $40 million by 50%, bringing in excess of $60 million in 1993.

RD/FOX Advertising, an ad agency located in SOMA San Francisco, then hired Mr. Yore as Senior Art Director and Creative Director. At RD/FOX he developed comprehensive advertising campaigns for high-tech, financial, sports and entertainment clients such as The Oakland Raiders, Brøderbund, iGo.com, Adams Golf, Polycom, Logitech, CLIFF Bars and Williams-Sonoma. Directing sports legends such as Professional Golfer and six-time major winner Nick Faldo and NFL legend John Madden were highlights of his tenure at this late 90's tech-boom era SF agency.

Mr. Yore then took a position in-house as Marketing Director for the newly formed Financial Interactive, the eventual developers of FundRunner Investor Relationship Management Software. The company specialized in innovative communication and marketing solutions for sophisticated money managers with combined assets under management of over $1 Trillion. FundRunner's client list read as the who's who of the world's largest investment firms, including : Credit Suisse First Boston, Deloitte & Touche, Guggenheim, Goldentree, The Carlyle Group, Bear Stearns, and Wachovia. From nothing, over the course of 5 years, Patrick built a highly memorable and successful all encompassing brand/marketing/advertising multiyear campaign that led to the company's eventual successful $12 Million buyout by SS&C Technologies of Windsor Connecticut. Patrick then became Director of Advertising for the $500+ Million market cap financial corporation.

BrainBlaze Advertising was established by Patrick in 2005 to be an agency that offers the highest quality marketing communications without a separate charge for ego. Developing technology-driven advertising campaigns for companies as large as KitchenAid, Microsoft, Packet8 and Sodexo is balanced by the desire to identify, grasp and nurture small business people with great vision and an idea that should be evolved with the most compelling, unified images and messages. With a client list of over 100 successful organizations and companies, Brainblaze will keep Mr. Yore busy far into the future.

Patrick's education accomplishments include a B.A. in Advertising from the Michigan State University College of Communication Arts and Sciences which was established in 1955 as the first of its kind in the United States. Today, it’s one of the largest and most respected communication colleges globally. He possesses a second degree in Graphic Design plus emphases in Creative Writing, Art History and Telecommunications also from Michigan State University.
