About Me

Hi, I'm Patrick Galvin and I write the Buzz Builder Blog to help business people learn how to use word of mouth marketing to increase their companies' credibility, visibility, and sales. I started the Buzz Builder Blog in January 2005 to provide entrepreneurs with creative ways to market their products or services without expensive advertising.

I'm also the Chief Galvanizer of Galvin Communications, a word of mouth marketing and public relations firm in Portland, Oregon. Companies hire Galvin Communications to lead word of mouth marketing brainstorming sessions, develop word of mouth marketing strategies, carry out blogger outreach campaigns, promote websites, produce web videos, and develop search engine optimization plans.

Galvin Communications has also generated more than $5 million worth of media coverage for its clients that is tied to their business objectives. This free publicity has appeared in prestigious newspapers, magazines, television programs, and radio shows throughout the country over the past five years.

I'm a professional speaker, and I've spoken to audiences throughout the United States and Canada on various marketing topics with a focus on galvanizing business with buzz. I am the current president of the Oregon Chapter of National Speakers Association.
