Meet the New Ad Manager for Strongsville Patch

Bryan Pinta is interested in connecting “local businesses with local residents.” 

The new Strongsville Patch adverstising manager, who started his new post on July 23, will have his chance.

In just couple weeks on the job, he’s already hit the ground running.

Pinta, 29, brings years of sales and media experience with him.

In addition to helping launch two sales websites, he’s worked with the Plain Dealer and the Morning Journal newspapers.

Pinta, who said he “sort of fell into sales” because of his outgoing personality, said he’s looking forward to his new gig with Patch.

“I enjoy the ground floor opportunity to build something up,” said Pinta, who most recently was a stay-at-home dad. “We can all find out about what's happening in the world, but sometimes it’s difficult to find out what’s happening on your street.” 

In addition to managing the Patch accounts in Strongsville, Pinta will oversee advertising sales for other Patch towns, including Westlake, Brecksville, Lakewood and Avon/Avon Lake.

“I like working with business owners one-on-one,” said Pinta, a 2001 graduate of St. Edward High School in Lakewood. “Business owners are busy running their business. They might not have time to do their marketing and social media.

I want to be an expert who’s there to help.”

Pinta said he's aiming to help the mom-and-pop stores that could use a local boost.

“These people are going up against the big box stores who have billions of dollars in their advertising budgets,” he said. “I want to connect local residents with local businesses.”

Pinta lives in North Ridgeville with his wife, Nichole, and their son, Griffyn, who’s almost 2.

If you see him around town, say hello. If you’re interested in advertising, call him at 440-522-4960. He’s here to help.
