Mike Linhardt Joins St. Charles County Patch Team As Ad Manager

is the newest member of Patch team. 

Linhardt recently joined the team as an Ad Manager for St. Charles County. He will be working with the St. Peters, O'Fallon, Wentzville and Lake Saint Louis sites. 

Linhardt recently took some time to answer some email questions about his new job. 

Tell us a bit about yourself and your family.  Currently I live in O'Fallon with my wife Amber and 4-month-old daughter, Brynlee. I grew up in a small town in mid-Missouri and have lived in the St. Louis area since 2004.

I attended Westminster College in Fulton, MO where I played football and have been in sales and marketing for 7 years. I'm huge sports fan and enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

What did you do previously? Why did you decide to join Patch?  Before I joined Patch I was a District Manager for an online marketing and advertising company in St. Louis. I jumped at the opportunity to join Patch and AOL because of I believe it is a game changer. Patch is revolutionizing the way people get their news and information on a local level and am excited to be a part of it. 

Just what does an advertising manager do? I work with businesses and clients to help develop a plan to promote themselves. As the digital expert in my communities, my job is to be a consultant and recommend ways that will help these clients and businesses achieve what their desired goals. Also, we are involved in many community clubs, organizations and events.

Which Patch services are you most excited about, and why? I think that Patch offers a variety of services that can help anyone. One thing that I enjoy is taking our clients ideas and developing a cost-effective way to make them "come to life" on a local level like they have never done before. The great thing about Patch is we are measurable and can track almost anything that we create, which I believe is very important when helping clients get results.

Anything else you'd like to add? You do not have to be a business to partner with Patch. We work with schools, colleges, organizations, government entities and chambers. We are always looking to sponsor local events and teams in the communities as well. Feel free to call or email me with any ideas or thoughts about how Patch can stay involved in the local communities or just to say hello.
