Leading Online Marketing and Advertising Company Unaffected by California’s Sluggish State Economy

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. -- Advertise.com, a premier platform for search and display and CPA marketing, today announced it has created eight new positions in response to increased demand for its current offerings, as well as anticipated demand for new services the company will shortly be rolling out. Advertise tapped both industry veterans and fresh talent in its latest expansion, reflecting the online ad industry’s continued strength despite softness in print, television and other advertising sectors. Advertise.com is a premier platform for search and display marketing that enables advertisers to reach a wider audience through an exclusive network of search engines and publisher properties.

Bucking a recent report from UCLA, which predicts continued sluggishness in California’s economy and rising unemployment rates, Advertise.com is growing to meet demand for its services and need for increased customer support. New hires will help Advertise.com manage its momentum after the company’s recent re-branding and launch at Ad:tech, San Francisco, and will provide support for new products in the CPA and Display Ad divisions. In addition to the Client Service Representatives, Advertise.com expanded its management team. New members include:

• Maricel Maling Dehne, CPA Operations Manager – Previously an Advertise.com Search Affiliate manager for more than two years, Maricel brings her extensive background in the CPA space and will lead CPA operations.
• Ulysses Davalos, Ad Operations Manager – Ulysses brings 10 years of experience as an Ad Operations Manager in the online space to Advertise.com and will take on the responsibility of managing the quickly expanding Display and Banner Division.
• Sheryl Madden, CPA Advertiser Account Manager – Sheryl will utilize her previous Account Manager experience to assist Maricel Maling Dehne in building out a unique high quality advertiser network.
• Dan Yates, Large Ad Agency Account Manager – Bringing his five years of advertising agency experience to Advertise.com, Dan will be responsible for managing the company's growth and relationships with large ad agency clients.

“Given Advertise.com’s mission to serve as the destination location for a wide variety of online marketing solutions, we saw the economic situation as an ideal opportunity to get closer to our advertisers and publishers and introduce new services,” said Daniel Yomtobian, founder and CEO of Advertise.com. “We are excited about both our near and long term prospects, and strengthened our staff with great new hires to further support and address the needs of our customers.”

Advertise.com’s hiring push comes just two months after the launch of the Advertise.com name, which encompasses well-known brands such as ABCSearch, the largest privately held pay-per-click (PPC) search engine and a world leader in online cost-per-click (CPC) advertising and award-winning social search engine, Scour.com.
