Head of Marketing & Product

In his tenure as president & CEO of Level Agency, Patrick Patterson oversaw its transformation from a pioneering, fast-growing higher education shop into the performance-marketing powerhouse it is today. Under his leadership, the agency’s revenue grew 30% or more annually; its profit margin increased 4X; its marketing spend now tops $50M annually, and its capabilities have broadened to offer more complementary services for more industries.

Great marketing starts with asking great questions. From the outset of his career, Patterson applied his background in computer science and math to the challenge of reaching and engaging audiences (and carefully measuring every result). In an industry increasingly driven by automation and machine learning, he excelled, ultimately managing a $30+ million budget for Education Management Corporation. Patrick then took his passion for creating value to product development, implementing lean methodology at a technology startup that focused on using data to drive efficient sales enablement.

His drive for efficiency, performance, and continuous improvement led him to join agency founder Thomas Donohoe in 2012 to oversee Level’s operations and strategic direction - eventually purchasing the company in 2021 with his partner, Patrick Van Gorder.

Patterson’s vision for Level Agency is to be the go-to performance marketing agency when clients want real, measurable results. Reaching this goal requires an uncompromising commitment to performance: platform excellence, compelling creative, client partnership, growth mindset, and constant innovation. By surrounding himself with talented, adaptable colleagues, he knows he’s set the agency up for success.

Systems Guy | Helping B2B founders automate & delegate operations so they can scale with freedom. Scaled a multi-6-figure biz with only 3 Hrs/Month | Send me a DM

This is About section isn't about me... because I know you just want to know "how do I grow my online service business predictably..."

Look, if you want to scale to 7+ figures, only 3 things matter:

→ Leads (Are people finding you?)
→ Conversions (Are they buying from you?)
→ Delivery (Are you keeping them happy enough to stick around?)

Everything you do should move the needle in one of these three areas.

If it doesn’t? It’s probably busy work in disguise.

Growth happens when you laser-focus on solving the right problem - not playing whack-a-mole with a hundred “meh” ones.

I should know. I used to be that guy... Obsessed with automating everything, drowning in tech stacks, and creating complexity.

So I created a process that's now helping founders get unstuck from 6 figures, and scale to 7 (with freedom).

Systems to:

1. Get leads every day
2. Convert those leads every week
3. Deliver your perfect offer so smoothly it’s like butter on warm toast
