“The DACH region continues to build prominence as a European advertising powerhouse that is home to many global brands,” said Kirschner. “Innovid’s omni-channel advertising and dynamic-creative solutions, particularly across Connected TV (CTV), not only provide regional advertisers more value from their investments, but deliver meaningful experiences to the audience. I look forward to helping drive strategy for brand growth throughout the region.”

In addition, Innovid announced the appointment of Jeremy Straight as Senior Vice President of Business Development, based out of New York.

As the CTV industry continues to grow and mature, brands are looking for independent tech solutions to execute their media plans. Innovid’s commitment to its clients includes working with partner companies to build unique products that solve the issues both publishers and brands experience in today’s fragmented media landscape. Straight, who was previously Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at SpotX, will lead the Business Development organization at Innovid to help identify and structure these distinctive solutions with partner companies in the CTV space.

“I am thrilled to join the Innovid team and collaborate with our client and partners to drive the ad tech landscape forward,” said Straight. “Innovid is leading the charge in closing the gap on some of the missing pieces that will advance CTV to its full potential, and my focus will be working with companies that want to be a part of the future of TV.”
