Be the last to know!

Ari Paparo has left Google for Nielsen! It’s tricky to confirm, I did a search on Nielsen.com and there’s no mention of Ari – for shame!  No press releases or anything.. thankfully, a tweet tells it all.  However, I saw him in AdAge this AM and in tons of on-line rags  Since DoubleClick paid for that head shot, we should Nielsen an invoice.. Congrats on the new gig Ari.

Avi in advertising

Avi Singer, now Director of OD at Undertone, is in their new ad campaign (as seen in AdAge print) – reminds us all of that DoubleClick campaign a bit, no?

DoubleClick “Welcomes you to Silicon Alley”

Is this the best picture out there?

The Kirbster, the thought-leader

Eric Kirby will be delivering a preso on email marketing. He’s now a thought-leader, which I’d agree with. I was just talking with Eric a few weeks ago, just catching up, glad to see the success he continues to enjoy.

The 111 8th, 10th floor renovation is underway

I knew it was coming, the demo is underway, as a new build-out begins.  Lots of memories..

Lots of permutations of Permuto

One of the cool things about living in the Valley, as I now do, is all the tech and start-ups.  Even cooler is when you know a founder and get to meet up and have lunch with them!  I had lunch today with Navdeep Saini, CTO and co-founder of Permuto.  They are a start-up, 2 miles from my house, doing some interesting things with display ads for marketers.. Good to see him!

An eerie reminder

Yea, I was on Facebook tonite.. for like 5 minutes.  But in my list of friends, I got a reminder of Steve Wolkoff.  Just reminded me of that tragic loss.

Facebook | Ben Saitz put a mouse on my mac with 2-buttons.. apple is real stupid for not making that standard. my mighty mouse looks pretty lame now

I must need to do more to get the word out

I heard a funny story.. and yea, I’m going to throw someone nice under the bus, but all in good fun.  Eoin Townsend, all around good guy and now customer over at Heavy.com, had some issues with their use of DFP recently.  So, among his attempts to reach out for some help, apparently he shot a note over to David (yes, that David).  Quite funny since David left, which was well covered by the press, over 6 months ago.. I need to get Eoin to read this blog a little more often ;-)

In typical good fashion, David forwarded it over to someone to follow up.

Xoogler and ex-Clicker now a booker

After 3+ years at DoubleClick then, 5+ years at Google, Tom Fochetta recently joined Amazon in July as Director of Ad Sales for the East Coast.

Clicking it over to the Hook

Ex-Clicker (well, aren’t we all now ex-Clickers?) — anyway, Tom Walsh just accepted an offer to join a bunch of old DFA clients from Beyond Interactive at HookLogic, Inc. in NYC.  He will be VP, Sales & Marketing and looking to hire good sales and marketing people first in NYC and then elsewhere.  Anyone interested can send a resume to him at Tom {at} HookLogic(.)com.  I checked the management roster and sure enough, the president is the very well known Vardaan.
