Nelsen’s move comes at a time when StackAdapt is experiencing rapid global expansion and its recognition as a leader in AI and machine learning within the advertising industry. His role will be crucial in leveraging this momentum, as the company now makes 143 billion AI-driven decisions per second to buy digital ads, with over 70% of ad spend utilizing StackAdapt’s proprietary algorithms. This positions Nelsen perfectly to further innovate and scale the company’s global impact, competing against established tech giants.

In his role at StackAdapt, Nelsen will lead a world-class team and take responsibility for all aspects of marketing, including product marketing, brand growth, digital strategies, communications, public relations, experiential marketing, and design. In the wake of his work at MX, where his team’s marketing efforts led to 5X pipeline coverage, Nelsen is focused on delivering a similarly impressive engine for StackAdapt.

“The only way to do that,” said Nelsen, “Is to help our clients around the world to achieve breakthrough advertising outcomes time and time again. That is StackAdapt’s promise and my commitment.”
