Dr. Patrick Ojo, author of "FREEDOM FOR PHARMACY," has signed with Creative Management Partners (CMP) for representation of his commercial rights across all platforms. Agent Alan Morell will manage Ojo's literary works, including a sequel to his current book, broadcast adaptations, speaking engagements, endorsements, advisory roles with online courses, and licensing.
This partnership represents a significant expansion of Ojo's professional reach beyond traditional publishing. The agreement covers adaptation of his book to a docuseries, positioning his work for potential multimedia exposure. For readers and industry observers, this signals how author platforms are increasingly managed as comprehensive commercial enterprises rather than isolated publishing projects.
Ojo expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating that signing with Morell and CMP "signifies a huge milestone for me personally and professionally." He noted excitement about CMP's assistance with "submission of my book, FREEDOM FOR PHARMACY, as they navigate the best Publisher for my Literary works and my career's commercial rights across CMP avenues of monetization."
Morell emphasized the significance of the signing during the nation's 250th anniversary year, describing Ojo as "truly an American Hero" who worked with the New York City Department of Homeless Services while completing his pharmacy degree at Long Island University, College of Pharmacy, Brooklyn, New York. Morell stated that Ojo's book provides readers with tools to "navigate the red tape" in the U.S. medical sector.
The signing places Ojo among CMP's Medical Health Wellness Division, which represents 248 doctors, part of the agency's 700+ client portfolio across entertainment, sports, arts, medical, health and wellness, military, music, politics and business sectors. Morell noted that CMP represents more doctors than any agency worldwide.
Ojo's background includes immigration from Nigeria to the United States in 1988, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1996, and earning a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Nova Southeastern University in 1999. His professional experience spans community, hospital, compounding, correctional facility, and institutional pharmacy settings.
For the publishing industry, this agreement illustrates the growing trend of agencies managing authors' rights across multiple platforms simultaneously. Rather than focusing solely on book deals, agencies like CMP are positioning themselves to capitalize on all potential revenue streams from an author's intellectual property and personal brand.
The commercial rights representation model affects how authors build careers in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Readers may encounter Ojo's work through various channels beyond traditional book formats, including educational content, public speaking, and potential screen adaptations. This approach reflects broader shifts in how expertise is packaged and distributed in the digital age.
Morell brings over 40 years of experience managing more than 3,700 campaigns in talent development, literary works, television and film packaging, commercial rights, corporate consulting, and intellectual property rights. His clients have received prestigious awards including Grammy, Tony, Clio, Oscar, Emmy, ESPY, Telly, Victors, and New York Times Bestselling author recognition.
The partnership between Ojo and CMP demonstrates how specialized knowledge from fields like pharmacy can be translated into commercial opportunities across multiple media platforms. As healthcare remains a prominent public concern, Ojo's perspective on pharmacy freedom may reach audiences through diverse channels managed by CMP's comprehensive representation approach.
