Advendio strengthens its presence in Switzerland
Advendio, a provider of order management solutions for cross-media advertising, is expanding its presence in the Swiss market. Pierino Simonelli has been appointed as Advendio’s new Sales Manager, effective immediately, and will be responsible for the sales regions of Switzerland and Italy.
He will also be responsible for expanding and developing Advendio's business in the country. The company already serves leading media companies in Switzerland with clients such as Ringier, NZZ and Stailmedia. The 40-year-old will report directly to Manuel Koubek, Vice President Marketing & Sales Europe at Advendio.
"We are delighted to have found an experienced colleague in Pierino Simonelli to build up our Swiss branch," said Manuel Koubek in a statement. "He knows both the Swiss and Italian markets very well. With his many years of experience in advertising marketing, he perfectly complements the team with an excellent understanding of the needs of potential customers. It was important for us to be able to offer our customers a direct line to ADvendio locally. In Pierino, we have found the right colleague for this task!"
Before joining Advendio, Simonelli spent five years as Sales Director and member of the Executive Board at Ticinonline, the news portal for Italian-speaking Switzerland. Prior to that, he was Head of Internet Consulting and a member of the Executive Board of Qualiclick / Adlink Internet Media for six years. Simonelli has also been Managing Director of Simomedia, the company he founded, since 2011. He continues to support clients in this position.
"Advendio's ad management solution meets the current requirements and needs of publishers and marketers exactly. Keywords such as automation or the minimization of media disruptions have become an integral part of the advertising business. I look forward to making Advendio even better known in both markets and helping our customers to make their processes more efficient," adds Pierino Simonelli.
