Meet Carri Wist, Elkridge Advertising Manager

Say hello to Carri Wist, new local ad manager for Elkridge Patch.

Carri has lived in Maryland for most of her life and has more than 10 years of advertising experience in the region.

She has worked for Baltimore, Style, Johns Hopkins and Overture magazines. Carri also sold advertising for The Daily Record.

Now, Carri is the advertising manager for Elkridge and seven other Patch sites.

We asked Carri to take a few minutes out of her busy day to answer some questions: 

Where do you live? I live in Reisterstown, the hometown where I grew up. 

How do you know Elkridge? A longtime family friend lives on Old Lawyers Hill Road, so I've spent time there. It's beautiful and historic.

What's the best part of your new job? Meeting new people all day long and learning the different aspects of each small business.

Why do you think Elkridge is awesome? I like the history behind Elkridge, especially since it used to be a port town.

Which Patches do you handle? Elkridge, Ellicott City, Columbia, Laurel, Savage-Guilford, Arbutus, Colesville, and Germantown.

Why should people advertise on Patch? Advertising on Patch is very affordable, with many different options to fit in any budget.

What's a fun night out? On a Saturday night, if the weather is good, I try to find a restaurant or bar that has outside seating where I can relax with friends and have a glass of wine. [Editor's note: Take Carri to .]

What are you listening to? Lately I have been into modern bluegrass—Avett Brothers (I actually named my new 7-month-old double doodle Avett) and Mumford & Sons.

From Carri: I look forward to helping you grow your business in the local community. Please send me an email if you want me to meet with you and discuss your marketing plans: carri.wist@patch.com. I can also be reached at 410-703-4367.
