About Patrick Cline
I've always liked queso. I haven't liked math. I've been interested in advertising, marketing and public relations since I was young especially the visual aspects of the business. I'm constantly intrigued by human nature and baffled by it at the same time. When I began my career in advertising (at a local TV station), I knew I had chosen the right field, or it had chosen me. After a few years in public relations, and then a few more years in marketing communications, I started my own agency, Tessar Communications. After 4 years, I merged Tessar with JH&A and the rest is, as we say,"history."
Achievements
My family is my ultimate achievement. Next would be a great group of long-time friends. From a JH&A standpoint, I'm proud of our longevity and our reputation. Both of these are completely due to John Hamm and the staff of experts we've assembled over the years. We conduct our business honestly and quickly become partners and friends with our clients some of whom we've known for 20 years or more. I think that the ultimate testament to the way we do business. I would proudly put our creative work up against anyone in the industry and I'm really excited about the leadership position we've taken with new media and in the digital social-sphere. I can't wait to see what the future holds!

are, we shall become a company of giants."
