We're happy to welcome Advertising Manager Adam Johnson to the Patch team. Adam is here to help you if you’re interested in advertising on our Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, Mercer Island, Sammamish-Issaquah, Edmonds and Shoreline-Lake Forest Park sites.

Adam will be your best resource when you are interested in advertising, so we thought you should know more about him. He was born and raised in the Puget Sound area, graduating from Tyee High School in Sea-Taa and attending college at Florida University International. After college, Adam joined the Air Force. He now lives in West Seattle with his wife and two young sons.

Since he was a young kid, Adam has been involved in team sports. He competed on dozens of soccer fields, baseball diamonds and basketball courts throughout the area all through high school. He’s never lost that passion for local sports, particularly our Seahawks, Mariners and Sounders.

Always working toward making himself the best partner in advertising, Adam has built a network of satisfied clients throughout his nine-year professional career in online advertising sales.

Patch: What do you find special about Patch? 

Johnson: Before Patch, it was very difficult for small- to medium-sized businesses to efficiently reach their local target audience through the Internet. The mega-companies have been leveraging cutting edge technologies and media teams to hyper-target their message, allowing them to appear as the local resource, whereas the true local businesses were left with fewer options, primarily the more outdated advertising mediums. Patch has changed this. Patch enables local, small-to-medium sized businesses to reach their exact audience, without wasting impressions, within a budget respectful of small businesses and not needing to battle for prime online real-estate with the national brands.

Patch: What are your personal interests? What do you love about Washington the most?

Johnson: Washington is my home—that’s what I love most. I am avid in sports, both as a fan and as a player. I enjoy a highly competitive game of soccer, basketball or football, with a great appreciation for the values that make for successful teams and individuals: camaraderie, passion, drive, desire, integrity, honor and commitment.
