Director of Technology Services and Platforms | Profile |
Founded in 1978, ALC has grown to become one of the industry`s leading privately-held providers of first-party data solutions. Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey - and with offices across the U.S. - the company enables its portfolio of clients, including the leaders in virtually every business sector, to grow and improve bottom-line profitability through the innovative use of marketing information, segmentation, and broad selectivity.
We are an award winning marketing services firm that merges storytelling and technology to bring health, wealth and happiness to the world. Here, the potential is limitless. People come to MERGE looking for a new way; for ideas and solutions that will make an impact. Our name reflects our belief that a collaborative approach across all disciplines leads to better results. With offices in Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and Kansas City, we continuously seek and make new connections through creative and technology. We`re here for the strivers––those who are ambitious and want to emerge to the top.
We have a simple belief — Unexpected Works. It means that the best idea is the one you never saw coming. The thing that catches you so off guard that you can`t look away. And the only path to genuinely unexpected works is through creativity. Not just what passes for creativity because it answers a brief, looks the part and helps everyone sleep at night. But creativity that is foreign, surprising and interesting enough to cause jaws to drop and sales to soar. It`s having the fresh perspective and raw energy to bring something into the world that no one`s ever seen before. We`re talking about the courage to shake things up and maybe even tear a few things down. And knowing that what most would call the finish line is where the real work starts. We believe in people, product, and profit, in that order. For us, people always come first. They`re the soul of our agency. It takes awesome folks to make awesome work. That`s why we make sure everyone who comes through the door is as great as the people who are already here. It`s also why we constantly strive to build diverse teams where everyone brings something unique to the table. Because you can`t make the unexpected if you only work with the usual suspects. By bringing together diverse thinkers with different backgrounds and perspectives, we validate Bill Bernbach`s notion that an idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it. So, come be part of the magic.
Channel Factory is a global technology and data platform that maximizes both performance efficiency and contextual suitability, delivering contextual performance for advertisers on YouTube. Channel Factory`s technology platform, ViewIQ, analyzes all YouTube channels and videos to ensure ads run on brand suitable and contextually relevant content. Channel Factory maximizes performance for advertisers on YouTube through managed service or self-service dynamic whitelists & blacklists, easily implemented through DV360 or Google Ads. Our platform is built to meet the needs of advertisers, offering standard IAB category lists or highly customized content lists in 36+ languages. Why Contextual Suitability? In our reviews of campaigns run outside of Channel Factory, we see on average 28% of an advertiser`s campaign run against unsuitable videos, such as children`s content or against the wrong language. Leveraging historical performance data is a key differentiator for Channel Factory. We do not just `set it and forget it` when it comes to contextual suitability. We incorporate active and historical campaign data into our ViewIQ platform and constantly optimize throughout the campaign, resulting in 30% efficiency in media spend.
We build longstanding relationships, deliver exceptional results and have fun along the way. Our people are not only our greatest asset... they`re family. Our clients love our spirit of collaboration, how we anticipate their needs and help evolve their brands in smart, creative ways. Our ability to leverage assets across a variety of channels, platforms and geographies has attracted highly-regarded brands like 3M, BASF, Carlson, Aimia, Ecolab, and Blue Cross.
