  • “Patrick has helped us negotiate and manage our sponsorships with the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, University of Minnesota and dozens of other partners. He’s not only guided our sponsorship strategy, he’s become part of the KLN Family Brands family. Many consultants and marketing agencies want to steer the bus before they know where the client wants to go. Patrick got to know us first which not only built a stronger personal relationship but allowed him to do the best job possible with our resources.”

    Charlie Nelson, Owner/CEO, KLN Family Brands

    Steve Peterson, Director of Marketing, PreferredOne

  • “I have worked with Patrick Klinger for many years on securing guest speakers for our annual events. He handled the speakers, and all the details, with professionalism and patience. No request I made of him was ever too much to handle, and if it couldn’t be worked out for some reason, he always had a Plan B for me to consider. I truly enjoy working with Patrick, you won’t find anyone better or with more integrity, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.”

    Julie Smith, Board Member, Morrie Miller Athletic Foundation

  • "Patrick has been a critical part of the Hiway marketing and business development team for years. We needed someone with extensive sports marketing knowledge when we launched our partnership with the Minnesota Wild, and Patrick brought a wealth of invaluable expertise to our organization. He is extremely well-connected and exemplifies the best attributes of a true partner – integrity, capability, and willingness to help in any possible way – more than anyone I’ve ever worked with. Patrick’s compassion and dedication to helping others is an exceptional quality, and that aligns perfectly with Hiway’s mission in serving our members and our community."
