Innovid Names EMEA MD

Online video analytics tech developer Innovid has hired Seamus Whittingham to lead its EMEA team as Managing Director, based in London.

New York-based Innovid provides MRC-accredited tools to create, deliver and measure video campaigns. These tools capture consumer engagement with proprietary real-time analytics and reporting, providing insight into ad 'viewability', engagement, awareness and social media sharing.

Whittingham (pictured) joins from digital marketing technology firm IgnitionOne, where he served as MD, overseeing revenue and operations across the UK, France, Germany and Eastern Europe. Previously, he was MD at personalization software company Qubit, and he worked for eBay as VP Sales, International.

In his new role, Whittingham will focus on driving Innovid's position in connected TV (CTV) advertising to support global advertising brands, publishers and broadcasters in the region. CEO and co-founder Zvika Netter comments: 'Following our $30 million funding raise from Goldman Sachs earlier this year, Innovid has been rapidly expanding its global footprint and onboarding many new global advertising clients, particularly in EMEA. Seamus' expertise in scaling teams and supporting sustainable growth across existing brand partners and new accounts will be a huge asset as we further expand Innovid's leadership in EMEA, particularly in France and Germany'.
