Meet Adam Johnson, Patch's New Advertising Manager

Adam is the new advertising manager for Mercer Island, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish-Issaquah, Woodinville, Edmonds, and Shoreline-Lake Forest Park. But he's not new to the Puget Sound.

So you're excited about Patch and want to know how to use it to benefit your business or organization ... the man who can lend a hand is Patch Advertising Manager Adam Johnson. Adam will be able to help you if you’re interested in Mercer Island, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish-Issaquah, Woodinville, Edmonds, and Shoreline-Lake Forest Park.

We're happy to welcome Adam to our team. He'll be your best resource when you are interested in advertising, so we thought you should know more about him.

Adam was born, raised in the Puget Sound, a graduate of Tyee in Sea-Tac, then attended 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 Eastside all through high school.  He’s never lost that passion for sports; particularly our Seahawks, Mariners and Sounders.

Always working toward making himself the best partner in advertising, emphasizing character, integrity, reliability, professionalism and true salesmanship, Adam has built a network of satisfied clients throughout his nine year professional career in online advertising sales.

Patch: As an advertising manager, what's the best part of your job? 

Johnson:  Being a key part in the development of our business community. 

Patch: What's the best way for people to contact you about advertising on Patch? 

Johnson:  Email is the most immediate, adam.johnson@patch.com and directly via phone at 206-214-8097.

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to appear as the local resource, whereas the true local businesses we're left with less options, primarily the more outdated advertising mediums. Patch has changed this. Patch now allows 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?

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 grand appreciation for the values that make for successful teams and individuals; camaraderie, passion, drive, desire, integrity, honor and commitment.

We too, love having our Farmers' Market return! Opening day was a bit weather-challenged. ThankRead More you merchants for enduring the wet and cold for our new extended hours! What a wonderful sight will return to the plaza when the sunshine calls back all the families with happy, giggling children. Market day is a date of dinner out (side) & shopping (vegetables, fruits and now HedgeHog Toffee) with my husband. Doesn't get much better than that! SEE YOUR THERE! Susan Gerend

Agreed Mark, Much as this solution seems crazy, some things are worth paying for (law and order, aRead More decent safety net, good schools and yes roads). I do blame the tax hawks though. Washington already has a relatively regressive tax structure. The "choke the government" solution seems carried way too far.

I thank the author for his well thought out arguments regarding these important transportationRead More issues in Washington state. While I believe some of the ideas presented are debatable, for example I believe that a vital and well used transit system ought to be part of our congestion relief plan in metropolitan areas, the lack of realistic funding options for this system cannot be ignored. However, our legislature (both parties included) seems to place a higher priority on "no new taxes" than creating a sustainable future for the state in many areas, including the transportation system. More than that, though, we live in a state whose citizens have varied interests and priorities. Most of all, we need our government to set priorities so that citizen interests and needs can be reasonably served. It seems we are pretending that we can base tax policies and tax rates exclusively on individual self-interest, as is often the consequence "no new taxes" scheme (e.g. if I don't get a direct benefit for myself, I won't support paying for it). This seems to me to be as much a part of this problem as current transportation system priorities.

It gets worse folks. I was part of a selected focus group a few weeks ago of people who live alongRead More I-405 conducted by a well-known marketing research firm and paid for by WSDOT. They are considering options that would charge commuters to use a new lane on I-405 & charge for the existing carpool lane too (even if you have two people in the car!)
