Pat Caporali
Communications, PR Media Relations, and Consultant in Indianapolis, Indiana
I'm a former Canadian sports reporter and producer, having spent years in radio and TV, bringing sports stories to life across my home and native land.
In 2000, I shifted into Communications and Public/Media Relations, starting with a public relations agency and moving to the fast-paced world of motorsports. For over a decade, I traveled the world to help share stories of INDYCAR drivers pushing their limits at speeds up to 242 mph.
In 2012, I joined Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) as Senior Manager for the Mopar brand, leading corporate and motorsports communications. My role took me coast-to-coast to major industry events and NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) drag strips where I managed communications for people and cars that race 1,000 feet in just under 4 seconds at 330+ mph. I helped shape Mopar’s story as one of performance, speed, and style.
In 2016, I returned to INDYCAR for the 100th Running of Indianapolis 500, collaborating with a fantastic communications team to highlight stories from the track and beyond. By 2019, I founded PCap Communications LLC, bringing my experience to clients across industries. Since then, I've worked with the Indiana Dept. of Revenue on a four-year modernization project, managed NHRA communications for Stellantis’ Dodge//SRT brand, and partnered with Firestone Racing to tell their story in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
My personal adventures are shared with my feisty Cairn Terrier, Miss Izzy, and her Leonberger siblings, Miss Yogi and Higgins, who keep life interesting (and full of great dog stories). Photography is my way of capturing stories without words, and when I’m not on the road, I’m likely diving underwater, seeking out new destinations, or visiting family in Canada—especially Reno, our 28-year-old, multi-lingual African Grey parrot.
Throughout my career, I've told stories across platforms as a journalist, communications specialist, and storyteller. Whether through the written word, photographs, or digital and social media, I believe every story deserves to be told well.
And I’d love to help bring yours to the world.
