Amanda Patterson - Chief Communicator
Going into PR and Marketing was a no-brainer for Amanda Patterson. Once a small business owner herself, she knows what’s involved to take a company from a homegrown operation to a household name.
“Most business owners have such a great vision and passion, but may not have the time or resources to properly brand and market themselves.”, says Patterson. This is where she steps in and works her magic. Through creative and innovative tactics Amanda takes the pressure of public relations off of her clients and in turn, allows them the freedom to focus on what they do best.
Asked to join the Universal Multisport team in 2011, Amanda accepted the position without hesitation, “I saw a tremendous amount of talent in Lee Zohlman as a leader in his field. His enduring passion for both his sport and industry was infectious and I wanted to be a part of what he was creating.” Amanda is a crucial part of the UMS team.
