Born and bred in Chicago, with a Bachelor and Masters degree in Journalism/Advertising from Northwestern University, Pamela began her writing career at Leo Burnett/Chicago. The world of advertising took her back and forth across North America with stopovers at ad agencies such as Benton & Bowles/NYC, Y&R/Montreal, then back to Chicago at FCB and Burrell Communications Group. For the past 8 years, she’s been running her own company, Radke Creative Communications, LLC.
 
Her clients have included McDonald’s, Coors Beer, Procter & Gamble, Sears, Kellogg’s, Illinois Lottery, OfficeMax, and various healthcare/hospital accounts, such as Scripps Health, Centegra Health, Carle Clinic, Geisinger Health Systems and US Labs. An award-winning Creative Director with over 20 years experience, Pamela takes pride in helping her clients grow their business through smart strategic thinking, strong relationship-building communication, and imaginative, creative marketing that touches an emotional chord.
 
Although her career keeps her busy, she’s also a poet, lyricist/music publisher, and has worked on the “other side” of the microphone as a voice-over talent for TV and radio commercials as well.
