After driving growth for 400+ retailers and eCommerce companies, Wunderkind has successfully pioneered an ad experience that allows Publishers to give their visitors a better ad experience -- one that puts content first and ads second.
Rather than placing an ad in front of someone while they're actively trying to read content, our technology patiently waits until a visitor has stopped reading before rendering our ad on the page. And that patience pays off -- it turns out that when an ad experience respects the user's reason for visiting a page, the user respects the ad experience in return. This unique, brand safe approach to ad experience gives an advertiser's message more attention and greater engagement.
Wunderkind has built one of the largest PMPs in the industry by offering advertisers exclusive access to large format, behaviorally triggered ad executions on premium publisher sites (e.g. CNN, Time, Tronc, Gannett, NY Post, Bonnier, etc). We are looking for a top-performing sales person to take ownership of specific agency accounts. Ideally you are someone who already has healthy relationships with brands, agencies, and agency trading desks.
This is an in-office position (3-4 days onsite) out of our NYQ HQ.
