ABOUT TERRY O'REILLY
Partner/Director/Writer
Pirate Radio & Television

In 1981, Terry began his career as copy chief at a small radio station in Burlington, Ontario. With over 150 ongoing retail clients, Terry learned that with meticulous planning and careful time management, you could still fall flat on your face. So from there, he begged his way into major advertising agencies in Toronto, writing for some of the most creative agencies in Canada including Campbell-Ewald, Lowe Goodgoll, DDB/Needham and Chiat/Day.

Then in 1990, he begged his way out of agency life and helped start Pirate Radio, specializing in the writing and directing of radio commercials. Since then, Pirate has grown to become Pirate Radio & Television, with over 30 employees and four full recording studios.

Terry has won over 300 national and international awards for his writing. He's also in demand as a judge at award shows, he hosts radio workshops throughout the year, and was featured as one of the industry's top radio writers on the recent Radio Bureau's "Radio Renaissance" CD.
