Your New Ad Manager: Carri Wist

Say hello to Carri Wist, Columbia Patch's new local advertising manager.

Carri has lived in Maryland for most of her life and has more than 10 years of advertising experience in the Maryland area. In the past she has worked for Baltimore Magazine, Style Magazine, Johns Hopkins Magazine and the Symphony Overture Magazine. Carri also sold advertising for The Daily Record.

Now at Patch, Carri is the advertising manager for Ellicott City, Columbia, Elkridge, Laurel, Savage-Guilford, Arbutus, Colesville, and Germantown.

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

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

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

What's your favorite thing about Columbia? I enjoy the shows at the lakefront.

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

Favorite book? Hmmm... I like all sorts of books, the Kindle makes it very easy to read anything, anywhere.

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

Says 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
