Alex Patton
Alex is the owner of Ozean Media and the former founder of two survey research firms, one of which, Meer Research, was acquired by Ozean.
Alex has been a paid consultant on every level of political campaigns including brief international political experiences. Ozean has won multiple national awards for political consulting and political media.
Alex is a seasoned political communication expert with a proven track record of success. He is known for his strategic thinking, data analysis skills, political communication acumen, and expertise in political media, including digital and social media.
In short, Alex blends political research with political media and technology.
In more recent times, Alex has seen firsthand the impact of hyper-partisanship and decided to pivot, steering Ozean Media away from divisive politics toward projects that encourage collaboration and problem-solving. He began focusing on issues that affect people at their core—clean energy, economic development, and redevelopment—while still helping candidates and organizations navigate the complex waters of public opinion.
Today, Alex is more than a public affairs consultant; he’s a storyteller, a strategist, and a teacher. Whether mentoring future leaders or devising creative solutions for his clients, he remains dedicated to the craft of connection—understanding and shaping political environments.
