Rosenfeld joins Zoom with background and experience that are particularly relevant as advertisers’ adoption of digital place-based media continues to aggressively expand.

Research and audience measurement have become increasingly important as advertisers have embraced digital place-based media as a component of integrated, multi-platform, video advertising campaigns.

In addition, Zoom has conducted dozens of effectiveness programs that have allowed advertisers to incorporate performance metrics from Zoom’s networks into their media planning and marketing mix models.

“Dan’s experience and knowledge of the fundamental role that research plays in the buying and selling of digital and video media is critical to Zoom’s growth strategy and business objectives,” said Dan Levi, Zoom’s SVP of Digital Media & Strategic Partnerships.

“More and more advertisers and agencies are using digital place-based media to optimize the reach and efficiency of their video ad campaigns, and insightful, innovative research is critical in demonstrating the impact of Zoom’s media. We’re very excited to have Dan on board and are confident that his contribution will be felt quickly and dramatically both within Zoom and in the industry.”
