Meet Patrick Hanna
My Story So Far…
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t creating in some way. When I was a very young child, I drew pictures on my Mom’s living room wallpaper. I not only survived that incident to tell you about it, I’m happy to say Mom encouraged my art. But she DID bring me pencils and paper from her office and asked me to use those instead of the wallpaper.
By the time I was in high school, I knew I wanted to be a commercial artist, and I knew I had the raw talent to help me get there. In college, I received training in commercial art, fine art, the business of advertising, and writing.
Within a couple of months of graduation, I became the Art Director of an advertising and public relations firm specializing in the outdoor sporting industry. I was illustrating brochures for adventure travel to foreign countries, designing a monthly magazine for boat and motor owners, and creating national advertising for a fishing lure manufacturer. I was on my way.

Agency To Consulting, and Loving It!
Many years and clients later, I became an owner, President, and Creative Director of Hanna Stanley St. John Advertising. We served a broad array of clients for nearly 20 years and earned an enviable reputation for the integrity of our company and the quality and effectiveness of our work.
I left for a more relaxed career of consulting, writing, and designing for a smaller group of clients in 2007. Now I have more time for other creative pursuits. I’m semi-retired, but still active for the clients who have come to depend on me.
If you think I might be able to help you communicate with your own customers or clients, give me a call. I always enjoy meeting people. (660)888-2242.
