Sales Executive - Midwest Vizu

Description

Market Overview

Less than 20% of the $30B spent advertising online is being spent on true brand advertising. Most online advertising is still direct response in nature. And yet, the vast majority of the $300B spent in offline advertising is spent on brand advertising. People consume 25% of their media online, but only 6% of advertising dollars are spent online.

Major brands know that their consumers are online and want to advertise there, but lack the measurement systems to give them confidence that they can wisely spend and manage advertising dollars online.

All of that is changing in the digital advertising marketplace.

Company Description

Vizu Corporation has developed an innovative technology platform to reliably measure and optimize the brand performance of online advertising campaigns in real time. This system provides a scalable means of giving brands the confidence to spend more advertising dollars online.

Vizu reports the Brand Lift associated with online campaigns as opposed to the current insufficient measures like Click-thru Rate. Marketers, ad agencies, and media publishers use Vizu to more efficiently and effectively manage their online advertising efforts, and increase their return-on-advertising-spend.

Vizu has hundreds of customers across every category and is backed by Draper Fisher Jurvetson; Greycroft Partners; and WR Hambrecht.
