About

Every day is a blessing. I’m a writer, author, speaker, content marketer & founder of CulturalPulse – a digital multicultural insights & marketing agency. I practice gratitude every day.

The things I love……

✎ Marketing: As founder & Chief Creative Officer for award winning agency CulturalPulse, my job is to create stories/campaigns that build an emotional connection in first language – the language of persuasion.

With my awesome team, we use the power of story to connect organisations with ‘the other half’ – over 120 untapped, diverse, high growth multicultural communities.

✎ Storytelling: My stories have appeared in The Guardian Australia, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Daily Telegraph, The Australian Financial Review & The Australian.

✎ Author: I am the proud author of ‘The Big O – the Life and Times of Olsen Filipaina’. https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-big-o-patrick-skene/book/9781988516844.html
My second book is ‘Celestial Footy – the story of Chinese heritage Aussie Rules’ www.celestialfooty.com.au

✎ Passions: I’m passionate about books, sports, the arts, comedy, writing, interesting people, the natural world, coaching football, chickens & enjoying the fruits of global diversity including culture, food, film, music & history.

✎ My Linkedin philosophy: Most days I post stories of resilience, inspiration, underdogs, positivity, inclusion, sportsmanship,comedy and excellence. Forgotten stories that should be surfaced. I find Earth & all its Earthlings endlessly fascinating. Negativity and cynics are most unwelcome. Life is too short.
