Patricia Harden

Patricia (Pat) Harden founded Harden Partners, a Stanton company, to help companies be heard, known and valued. Pat brings clients the benefits of a lifelong passion for communication and the desire to help organizations take their game to new levels. Under her leadership, Harden Partners has grown steadily from a one-person consultancy in her guest room to an award-winning, mid-sized agency serving the financial, healthcare and professional services sectors—and the amazing technologies that support them.

As the communications landscape shifts, Pat sees more and more opportunities for organizations to define themselves and increase their impact through both earned and owned media. Pat and her teams have landed clients on the front page of the Sunday NY Times Business section, network TV and on multiple online platforms. These integrated communications campaigns build reputation, drive awareness and can spark leads in consumer and B2B channels.

Prior to forming Harden Partners, Pat headed the SF office of Peppercomm and was VP at Gibbs and Soell, both independent, national PR firms. Her corporate career includes senior positions at Fidelity Investments and SunAmerica, as well as start-up OffRoad Capital. She has master’s degrees in English and Journalism from UCLA and an Executive MBA from the Haas School at UC Berkeley. Pat has an undergraduate degree from Southern Methodist University.
