Patch Breaks Traffic Records, Boosts Sales Team

Senior vice president of sales is a Wenner Media vet

Patch recently added sites serving Charlotte, Miami and Birmingham, Alabama. A Denver Patch is also set to launch Sept. 6.

While the size of these cities is larger than the typical community targeted by the original AOL-era version of the company, a signature element remains. Veteran journalists are at the helm. For Charlotte, it is Kimberly Johnson; in Miami, Patch is relying on Paul Scicchitano; and in Birmingham, Michael Seale.

In Denver, where local hub Denverite was acquired this spring by Spirited Media, the journalist in charge will be former Gannett daily newspaper reporter Jean Lotus.
