NEW YORK and LONDON, December 19 /PRNewswire/ --
- Strategic Partnership Expands Linkstorm's Reach in European Market
Advertising technology company Linkstorm is ramping up its sales effort in the European online advertising business thanks to a new partnership with GMW Media, Ltd., a United Kingdom-based independent online media sales house.
GMW Media was founded in 2005 by Mark Wright, a veteran in online sales who has worked for companies such as Rivals.net, Sports.com, Teamtalk Media and Sportinglife. The company offers Linkstorm an extended sales team with local market know-how and contacts, thus raising Linkstorm's visibility with GMW's fast-growing network of advertisers and publishers.
"Because the demand for more effective advertising solutions is growing as quickly in the U.K. as it is in the U.S., we have chosen to partner with GMW Media due to its strong track record and extensive credentials in the online network arena," said David Sidman, founder and CEO of Linkstorm, a company pioneering a new approach to online advertising based on the principle that if ads are more useful to the customer, they will perform better for the advertiser. Linkstorm achieves this by overlaying cascading menus onto any ad format, thus providing the customer with direct, deep links to the product information and transactions that they want.
"GMW's network of more than 300 sites delivers some 30 million page impressions per day and offers advertisers huge reach across the entire U.K. The marriage of our technology and their sales acumen will make for a powerful force in online advertising," said Mr. Sidman.
Prior to founding GMW Media, Mr. Wright worked as the first sales executive outside the U.S. for global technology giant Claria, where he opened and ran their London office.
Located in the heart of London's "Noho" neighborhood, GMW and their team of specialist sales staff currently work with more than 20 advertising agencies in and around London and with advertisers including McDonald's, Sony, Vodafone, HSBC, Nat West and many more.
"We believe that Linkstorm will revolutionize the way that online advertising works," said Mr. Wright. "They have come up with a brilliant way to make advertising more effective by putting the user in charge of their online experience."
