LONDON & NEW YORK (BusinessWire EON) February 28, 2007 --
Vibrant Media, the world’s leading provider of in-text
advertising, and a premier provider of contextual video advertising,
has hired Scott Deutrom as European Sales Director, responsible for
expanding Vibrant Media’s footprint across
Europe through growing business in its current operating markets and
capitalizing on opportunities in new European markets.
Deutrom brings extensive knowledge of the online media marketplace to
Vibrant Media, having spent 10 years at Sky Media, the media sales arm
of BSkyB, most recently as Head of Online and Commercial Partnerships.
Before joining Sky Media, Deutrom held senior roles at leading agencies
including Associate Director at MediaVest and TV Buying Director for MEC.
In his new role, Deutrom will work to grow business with existing
accounts as well as focus on new geographic markets for development.
Currently, Vibrant Media holds offices in New York, San Francisco,
London, Hamburg and Paris and provides contextual video and in-text
advertising solutions in 10 different languages. Additionally, Deutrom
will leverage both his and Vibrant Media’s
relationships with key pan-European agencies and large brand advertisers
to expand business.
“The Internet delivers measurability and
targeting, but now, through contextual video advertising, it is even
closer to realizing its true potential. I’m
thrilled to apply my knowledge of television and online advertising to
Vibrant Media and push the medium even further for brand advertisers,”
said Deutrom. “Vibrant Media understand the
power of engaging audiences with a rich, interactive media experience,
and I’m ready to take it to the next level
throughout Europe.”
“Scott’s combined
knowledge of the television marketplace, online advertising and video
makes him the ideal candidate to run sales throughout Europe,”
said Doug Stevenson, CEO and co-founder of Vibrant Media. “It’s
fantastic to have another media heavyweight join the team as we continue
to grow through key verticals and geographies both rapidly and
profitably.”
