Casey Patrick

I’ve been writing for a living since 1999. My first job was as a features reporter for a small newspaper in rural Indiana, where slow news days were the norm. One of my favorite interviews was with a philosophical fruit stand guy. When people shared their stories with me, it felt like a gift.

I’ve led editorial teams for two Indianapolis magazines, covering style, food, health and more. As a magazine journalist and freelancer, I interviewed former Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts, journalist and author A’Lelia Bundles and supermodel Elaine Irwin.

The combination of storytelling and targeting audiences with content led me to a marketing agency, and then I launched Punch Content in 2014. As a marketing consultant, I work on more B2B projects. Recently, I’ve worked in venture capital, SaaS, nonprofit, and professional services/consulting.

I’m originally from Tennessee and graduated from Miami University (BA) in Ohio and The University of Tennessee (MA). I’ve won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and run lots of ultramarathons. I’ve written for Oprah Daily, Indianapolis Monthly, The New York Times (a tiny story), Indy Maven and, most recently, HuffPost.

I’m also seeking agent representation for a memoir project, “Basic Needs: A Memoir by the Other Woman,” about discovering my boyfriend of three years was married.

I have a great husband named Chris and two incredible sons, among the many strokes of luck in my life.
