NetSeer’s direct response and brand product media solutions build on their proprietary “lookalike” audience segments, contextual mapping, and InImage Ads, among others.

Brian is highly regarded for his achievements in maximizing revenue strategies, with a proven ability to drive profitability by identifying and capitalizing on new market, segment, and product areas for online media and startup companies (…) NetSeer’s continued growth and evolution will be bolstered by Brian’s proven ability to analyze operations for strategic advantage that produce revenue.
