He is the co-founder of Pirate, which specializes in writing and directing radio commercials, and the creation of music and sound for television. Pirate is now the largest and most award-winning audio production company in Canada, with nine recording studios in Toronto and New York, three production suites, a sound-effects division, a casting company and a branded entertainment department.

O’Reilly hosts “The Age of Persuasion” on CBC Radio One, which explores the countless ways marketers permeate media, art, language, politics, religion, and fashion.
