SINGAPORE and SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TubeMogul, an enterprise software platform for brand advertising, announced today the appointment of two senior digital industry executives to spur growth in its China and Southeast Asia operations.
The company announced Jeffery Zheng has been appointed Managing Director, Greater China. He previously held senior positions with Ogilvy & Mather, Yahoo!, and Renren, in Taiwan and China. Zheng has also spearheaded campaigns for Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Unilever, Adidas, and P&G in the Greater China region, and was recently VP of Marketing for Touchmedia, the largest in-taxi interactive media company in China.

The Southeast Asia operations will be headed by Darin Williams, who has worked in Asia for more than fifteen years in executive roles at Nielsen, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

TubeMogul launched in Southeast Asia three years ago and has established a sales, trading and operations team that delivers programmatic video advertising campaigns across ten markets in the region. This year TubeMogul opened its office in Shanghai, and expects to substantially expand its China operations next year.
"I am extremely confident that both Jeffery and Darin will bring a new level of energy and strategic focus to TubeMogul in China and Southeast Asia," said Susan Salop, Vice President of Asia, TubeMogul. "The last two years have been extremely dynamic for TubeMogul due to our focus on delivering new and innovative software tools to advertisers, and we plan to work closely with agencies, trading desks, publishers and brands to ensure they get the best possible results."
Salop added: "With over three years presence, TubeMogul was one of the first programmatic video demand-side platforms in the region, and we have invested considerably in agency partnerships and education.
