Meet The Drive Team

Patrick Zielinski
Founder & Talent Manager
Patrick has been a creative and around content his whole life. He’d record skateboarding videos to tape and play his boombox in the background to underlay music – everything from filming, editing, and burning videos to disc drives before content was even called content.
He understands the hustle because he lived it, working in TV, film, and digital entertainment through high school, college, and the early days of YouTube. His career spans talent representation and leading teams at Cameo, and LinkedIn, where he helped shape talent-driven campaigns with top creators, celebrities, and athletes.
Patrick’s worked across every wave of the creator economy, from vloggers to Vine stars, Musical.ly to TikTok—and knows how hard building an audience truly is. He founded The Drive to champion the next generation of creators who are building with purpose, community, and a long game mindset.
