What are you looking forward to the most in working with GumGum in the year ahead? Great question, I do love the fact that within digital advertising GumGum is a party that does not shy away from innovation and leadership, all coming from an existential feeling. Loads of technologies try to embed technology to be fitting to the current digital climate, I believe GumGum succeeds where most of them fail. At GumGum technology is used to push boundaries for both the user and the industry. 2023 will be an amazing year with a full focus on marrying true contextual targeting with the latest attention innovations and truly pushing things forward both for programmatic advertising and direct collaborations.
What are you looking forward to the most in working with GumGum in the year ahead?
I look forward to working on streamlining our creative offering across EMEA and how that translates into how we service our clients.
Which of GumGum's values (thoughtful, agility, grit) resonates with you the most and why?
The digital advertising landscape is fast changing, ever-evolving and with it we have to adapt as well. I think Agility is not only a core value that GumGum has been showing time and time again, but one that our creative team embodies on a daily basis in order to support all the different client needs and campaign requirements.
What are you looking forward to the most in working with GumGum in the year ahead?
In 2023 I'm looking forward to integrating Playground xyz's Attention Intelligence Platform with our contextual solution, Verity. These new attention offerings will provide real-time optimizations to help our advertisers effectively understand and engage consumers in the right mindset, which is really exciting. I'm grateful to have been part of GumGum's evolution over the past 5 years and I can't wait to see what the next 5 will bring!
What's your favorite GumGum memory?
My favorite GumGum memory is 2018 All Hands in Ojai, California. Getting to meet coworkers from around the world while hearing our senior leadership speak about our mission, goals, and values will always resonate with me!
Which of GumGum's values (thoughtful, agility, grit) resonates with you the most and why?
In an ever-changing industry, I think it's crucial that we are able to stay agile, allowing us to find solutions and drive success for our clients.
What's your favorite GumGum memory?
I remember starting at GumGum shortly before the pandemic struck. When it did change our world forever, my team had the challenge of pivoting a very defined 'in-person' culture to one that would be remote for the foreseeable future. Vanessa and I joined a Hackathon team with the idea of creating a place for us all to connect online and keep our sense of community. We were able to launch "Connect at GumGum" which I think is uniquely and authentically GumGum and has been a positive space for everyone during a really hard time. I'm especially proud of what it is today and how it supports our GumGum team members to connect - now in person and virtually!
Which of GumGum's values (thoughtful, agility, grit) resonates with you the most and why?
Thoughtful. I think there is so much power in perspective and I love working for a company that values being thoughtful, thinking about the implications of decisions, and making sure we choose what is right for GumGum and our team.
What are you looking forward to the most in working with GumGum in the year ahead?
To continue being part of this big family, facing new challenges as the industry develops. Enjoyed every step of the way.
Which of GumGum's values (thoughtful, agility, grit) resonates with you the most and why?
Grit! I consider myself an out-of-the-box thinker so I also bring that to work. I fight for my ideals and so for the client's best interest in its investment.
