    Executive Search | Communications + Marketing

    Since 1995, Patch and Associates
    has helped companies find and retain the best and brightest senior executives and managers in public relations, corporate communications, and marketing.

    Tracy Patch’s team of former PR and marketing professionals understand executive search needs and provide a high level of personal attention and detail.

    Our searches begin with contacts (not resumes!) from the San Francisco Bay Area (where we are based) to New York, Los Angeles and abroad. We have over two decades of demonstrated success helping companies build their brands from start-ups to publicly-traded global corporations to the Fortune 100.

    Our reputation for finding and retaining the most dynamic communications and marketing leaders, whether full-time employees or contractors, is the benchmark of our success.

    CLIENTS

    For all our clients, we make it a priority to know their business from the inside out.

    Patch & Associates has been key in helping us find and hire many of the rock stars on Sun’s public relations team. Considering the fierce competition for talented communications professionals in Silicon Valley, it is particularly impressive how quickly they were able to introduce us to the right people.
