Mobile-Ad Shop Kargo Hires Its First CMO to Better Convey Why It's Unique

Revenue was up 150 percent in 2014

As more brand advertising moves to smartphones and tablets, mobile-ad shop Kargo has hired a CMO for the first time.

The New York-based company tapped Terri Walter, the former CMO of ad-tech company PubMatic. Walter has also worked at Razorfish and Microsoft and will oversee the day-to-day growth of Kargo.

While mobile is far from new for most big-brand advertisers, CEO Harry Kargman explained that growth over the last couple of years and new concerns about viewability and attribution made now the best time to hire a CMO.

"The challenge for us to date has been that we need to communicate to the world about this unique offering in a broader and more holistic way," Kargman said.
