Westminster, Colorado – August 20, 2007 – SpotXchange, the Internet’s first online video advertising exchange, announced today that former CNN President of Sales and Marketing Larry Goodman has been appointed to SpotXchange’s advisory board as a director. Goodman will apply his more than 30 years of media and advertising industry experience to help SpotXchange expand its online video advertising marketplace.

Goodman worked for two decades with cable television pioneer CNN. Most recently, Goodman was president of CNN Sales and Marketing at Turner Broadcasting Sales, Inc., where he oversaw all domestic cable and online sales and marketing for the CNN portfolio of networks and websites. These include CNN, Headline News, CNNfn, CNNSI, CNN Airport Network, CNN.com, CNNfn.com, CNNSI.com and AllPolitics.com. Goodman was responsible for generating $500 million in annual revenue across all branded media properties and led a team of 150 sales and support personnel.

 

Goodman currently serves as president of White Mountain Media, a consulting company he founded in 2004 that specializes in digital and traditional media. Goodman is also a non-executive director on the corporate boards of National CineMedia and Teletrax.

 

“All of the research data and industry studies point to tremendous opportunities for marketers to reach highly targeted and engaged consumers through online video advertising,” said Goodman.  “As the first online video advertising exchange, SpotXchange has hit on a winning business model for making the research predictions a reality by bringing together advertisers and publishers in a marketplace where ads can be targeted, placed and measured for success at fair market prices.”
