San Francisco, CA, February 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Many businesses are struggling to attract customers with reduced marketing dollars.

About Buzz Camp Presenter Patrick Galvin:
Patrick Galvin has long record of success in buzz marketing. As a college sophomore, he broke the Guinness World Record for hammock swinging to promote his parents' three Bay Area hammock stores. He declared that he was going to make hammock swinging an Olympic event. While he failed in his attempt to create a new sport, his record resulted in widespread press coverage that increased hammock sales and convinced Patrick that buzz is the best way to build a business.
After graduating from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, Patrick worked for various politicians and political campaigns and used his marketing skills to raise over one million dollars for a non-profit organization in less than one year.
Fascinated to learn why people buy, Patrick attended the Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management and graduated with an MBA in marketing. His fluency in Spanish and Portuguese led to a regional sales manager position. In three years, he built a sales network in Canada and Latin America and created marketing programs for both regions. Seeking a greater challenge, he became the president of his family's retail furniture company and quadrupled sales in five years through a variety of buzz marketing techniques.
In 2002, Patrick co-founded Galvin Communications to help companies grow through buzz rather than expensive advertising. As the chief galvanizer of Galvin Communications, he has helped hundreds of companies from sole proprietorships to publicly-traded corporations tap into the power of buzz marketing to meet their sales objectives.
Patrick is an accomplished presenter. He is a past president of the Oregon Chapter of the National Speakers Association and has addressed thousands of people throughout the United States and Canada on buzz marketing. Since 2005, he has written regularly on the good, the bad, and the ugly of buzz marketing on his Buzz Builder blog (http://blog.galvincomm.com) and in his monthly Buzz Bulletin enewsletter.
