“I’m beyond excited to welcome these incredible industry leaders to our commercial team. With their unique mix of deep industry expertise, strong backgrounds in TV, digital media and data, as well as their long-standing relationships, they’ll be instrumental in driving our next phase of growth,” says Jack Bamberger, Chief Commercial Officer at Amobee. “TV viewership has exploded and audiences are now hyper-engaged across linear TV, connected TV, digital and social media. Advertisers must leverage technology and data which unifies channels to control for frequency and optimize their reach across all screens—and it’s incumbent upon media owners to package their audiences in a way that makes this possible. We are thrilled to bridge this gap across the industry as a whole.”

Spengler brings more than 25 years of experience working with advertisers and media owners to drive business results through innovative approaches to media. In his most recent role as President, M1, he led growth and adoption for Dentsu’s industry-leading people-based marketing platform combining data, tech and video for optimal business outcomes. Previously, he spent two decades at IPG, including Worldwide Chief Executive Officer for MAGNA GLOBAL and President, North America for Initiative, as well as holding senior roles at Simulmedia and iHeartMedia. Throughout his career, Spengler has led high-performing teams that consistently deliver break-through campaigns across all media.

“Advertisers, agencies and media companies are all hungry for solutions that can break down silos and transform their business,” says Spengler. “Amobee is the only company that can provide the marketplace with a true cross-channel solution to unify total media investment and drive growth.”
