Online Ad Network, CPX Interactive, Names Gary Bembridge as EVP of Sales for North America

New York, NY, February 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- CPX Interactive has named Gary Bembridge, industry veteran and former sales manager for MSN, as Executive Vice President of Sales. Bembridge’s hiring is part of CPX’s mission to provide market-specific service to major brands and agencies across the globe. Bembridge will focus on developing new sales and support teams in major North American markets, including Detroit, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco.

Bembridge brings a great deal of experience in corporate team building. He began his career as an entrepreneur and was later recruited by Microsoft as one of the first account executives for Sidewalk.com, which later merged with MSN. Over the next ten years, Bembridge ran strategic sales and created custom solutions for leading brands, to become the most successful sales manager in the history of the MSN division. Bembridge then moved on to a new challenge, creating the first sales team for MSN Live, and driving revenue to nearly $160 million within three years.

"Gary’s experience takes the strength of our existing team to a new level, and I am proud to have him on board. Through the efforts of a strong core team, including our current VP of Sales, Stephen Shearin, CPX has established effective sales teams on both coasts, with offices in NYC and Los Angeles. We are excited to have Gary continue building out the model we have begun and look forward to seeing him really take it to the next level,” explains CPX Interactive President and COO, Rob Rasko.

For his part, Bembridge is bullish on the future of ad networks and CPX Interactive, specifically. “The relevance of ad networks is realized every day by increased budgets from leading agencies towards partners equipped with the proprietary technology to truly deliver reach, brand protection, and the science of audience intelligence,” Bembridge said. “The opportunity to join a dynamic company in an increasingly relevant space was irresistible. CPX is a next generation leader in Internet trading.”
