Meghan Patke

PRESIDENT & CEO

An old soul with a young heart, and a self-professed “citizen of the world,” agency president and chief strategist Meghan Patke’s love of travel, adventure, and exploring the farthest corners of the globe began at a young age, globe-trotting with her family to far-flung locales and experiencing new cultures, cuisines, and ways of thinking that have shaped her sense of self, work ethic, drive, & passion for life.

A dedicated hospitality PR marketer and skilled communicator in her field for close to 20 years, over her tenure, she has orchestrated Hello Kitty’s 35th birthday; hosted the U.S.’s first-ever Thai Food Festival at the historic Paramount Studios lot; soared to new heights with the world’s largest airline; advocated tirelessly for sustainability and piloting the successful launch of the West Coast and South Pacific’s first-ever Dock to Dish programs; and been fortunate enough to experience some of the world’s most transcendent meals with luminary chefs including Michael Cimarusti, Massimo Bottura, Adam Perry Lang, Niki Nakayama, David Myers, and Jet Tila.

Since launching Modern Currency PR in 2017, Meghan and her dynamic team of seasoned PR professionals continue to set the industry standard with fast-witted—and paced—PR & marketing campaigns, yielding high-impact (and sustained) results for a wide array of hospitality clients including distinctive hotel properties, luxury destinations & resorts, iconic lifestyle brands, renowned culinary personalities, & forward-looking travel and aviation companies, all with their eye on the prize – staying relevant and ahead of the curve.
