Patricia Galea

Lead Instructor

Hello!


For the past 23 years, I've led digital advertising strategy for big brands like Amazon, Disney, Spotify, Lexus, Honda, Sony Pictures Entertainment, UCLA, Nintendo, Converse, SaaS BtoB and many more.


I began my career at Accenture then spent years at big global agencies (Omnicom, Publicis, WPP, Edelman, IPG Mediabrands) and client side roles at Disney, UCLA and Draiver (AI BtoB SaaS). My focus has been on all facets of digital advertising and marketing.


On the side, I co-founded and launched the digital advertising curriculum at UCLA in 2004 and continue to advise them on digital media/marketing curriculum. I co-founded and was co-instructor for one of the most popular marketing courses that served as a basis for this Maven course. I have taught and lectured over 1000 students to date at UCLA -- from professionals attending UCLA Extension; MBA students at UCLA Anderson; and corporate leaders from around the world that travel to UCLA for custom training programs.


I have a passion for teaching real knowledge and wisdom - gained from my real world experience being at the forefront of the ever changing digital media landscape.


I'm also proud of my ongoing mentorship of MBA students at UCLA Anderson Easton Technology Management Center, focusing on the intersection of Tech and Management.


I look forward to helping you advance your business and your career!
