Patrick McCarthy | Web Analyst

August 10, 2017 By BJ Cook,

We are excited to welcome our new Web Analyst, Patrick McCarthy, to our digital marketing team in San Diego, CA! Patrick has been working in digital marketing for the past six years, and started his career in the Temecula/Murrieta area as an Account Manager for a mobile paid search lead generation company called Sightly. He quickly moved up the ranks at Slightly to Team Lead in Account Management, which is when he first got his Adwords Search Certification, and has been certified ever since! From there, he moved to a company called Evaero, where he managed paid media lead generation campaigns, including many forms of digital paid advertising as well as more traditional media buying, such as TV and radio. This is when he really discovered a passion for analytics, from tracking to measurement to reporting, which ultimately lead him to Digital Operative (DO) and a career centered around analytics! (Yay DO!)

When we let him leave the office (just kidding, we are all about that work/life balance), you can find Patrick surfing, watching the Padres, playing fantasy football, spending time with family, and playing frisbee, golf, and enjoying an active life by the beach in San Diego. Oh, and did we mention he's planning a wedding in April 2018? So yeah, he's a pretty busy guy outside of work, and we know we'll keep him busy at work too! Welcome Patrick!
