Veteran Broadcast Execs Gary Brown And Patrick McCreery Form Glass City Talent

Broadcast executives Gary Brown and Patrick McCreery announced the creation of Glass City Talent, a company that will invest in niche companies in the broadcast media industry. Brown and McCreery formed the partnership after working together as part of the Meredith Local Media Group senior leadership team until the company’s sale in December 2021.

Glass City Talent’s first investment and partnership is with Talent Dynamics, a provider of broadcast industry placement and coaching for more than 30 years. Brown will become CEO at Talent Dynamics, and McCreery will lead in a business development role. Sandra Connell continues as the president of Talent Dynamics.

“I could not be more thrilled to welcome Gary and Patrick to our company and look forward to their contributions to help grow the company into the future,” Connell said. “I have known them since they both started their broadcast management careers, and they are the perfect fit to serve our clients with their placement and coaching needs.”

Brown said: “I am so happy to be working with Patrick again on Glass City Talent and for our first investment to be with Talent Dynamics is very exciting. Sandra Connell has been a friend and mentor to me over the years, as she has for so many in the broadcast industry. I am pleased to partner with her on Talent Dynamics and help serve the great clients going forward.”

McCreery added: “I am excited to work with Gary again in this venture, and partnering with Sandra and the team at Talent Dynamics is a great fit for us.”

The origins of the name Glass City Talent go back to where Brown and McCreery grew up in Toledo, Ohio. Toledo earned the Glass City nickname when it was considered the glass manufacturing capital of the world. That’s also where Brown and McCreery first met and worked together in a newsroom early in their careers.
