What’s your experience?

I have experience in advertising agencies, outdoor advertising and radio. My last position was with autotrader.com.

What are your personal hobbies and passions?

I love to spend time with my boys, going to sporting events, golfing and hitting local restaurants in our town. We think it's important to support local businesses, so that’s why I’m excited to be working for Patch.

What are the biggest obstacles facing small businesses today?

I think small business owners have a hard time branding themselves, and telling people who they are and what services and products they provide. Communities want to support them, but they don’t always know who they are, where they are and what they do.

How can you best help small businesses become more successful?

I listen to what business owners want to accomplish and partner with them to make it happen. We have many ways to do it to fit every budget.

You can reach Julie at julie.klotz@patch.com and at 248-330-2536. Get in touch. She'll come out to see you.
