Brent Hatch Works for Patch

Dear readers, I'd like you to meet our new advertising sales manager.

Brent Hatch works for Patch.

Yes, yes, it does rhyme. Let’s say it again: Brent Hatch works for Patch.

Anyway, Brent Hatch works for Patch, and I’d like to introduce him to you. He is the advertising manager for Naperville, Oswego, Yorkville and Montgomery.

Yes! Patch does sell ads and soon will have more of them in our neck of the woods.

Hatch recently moved back to the area (He graduated from Yorkville High School in 1982) after cutting his advertising teeth at the Denver Post. In Denver, he helped local advertisers develop interactive campaigns – which probably will come in handy selling advertising for local online news sites, right?

On a personal note, Hatch recently got engaged to the first girl he ever dated, Leigh. (I do believe he dated other people; she was just the first many, many moons ago.) And apparently, she’ll be the last, too. She got him a grill for his birthday, and he got her a ring. Leigh is another Yorkville High School alum and a long-time teacher at Plank Middle School

“We plan to marry very soon, as we are both very, very old and feel time is most certainly running out,” Hatch said.

So, if you see Hatch out in the community, feel free to say hi and ask him about advertising on Patch. You can e-mail him at brent.hatch@patch.com or call him at 630-596-3655.
