Ahoy, mates! PTi launches new Web site for Patch the Pirate
GREENVILLE – Step on board the Jolly Roger and right into the captain’s quarters at www.patchthepirate.org, PTi Branding’s latest addition to the Web.
The stories and songs of Ron “Patch” Hamilton are familiar to millions of children and parents. Hope for the Home, a non-profit division of Majesty Music, provides funding for weekly broadcasts of Patch the Pirate adventures on radio stations throughout the world. After a decade on the Web, Hope for the Home selected PTi Branding to give Patch and his crew a new site, complete with story segment downloads, coloring pages, Patch’s personal story, and access to Majesty Music, where all the Patch recordings are available.
PTi Branding delivered an automated process for weekly updates, allowing Hope for the Home to easily keep the site’s content fresh. Artist Dana Thompson, whose past clients include Disney, joined PTi on the project.
“The new site is definitely more up to speed with the quality, professionalism, and creativity of what Patch the Pirate brings to the market,” said Brad Sherman, PTi’s president.
Hamilton, of Greenville, was 27 when he lost his eye to cancer. But his dependence on God through that trial allowed him to find humor – and a spark of inspiration – when children at his church took a look at his patch and branded him a pirate. Patch the Pirate is now synonymous with character-building, God-honoring stories and music for children.
