Soo Jin Oh Joins Magnetic as VP of Operations
New York, NY—March 28, 2012— Search retargeting leader Magnetic today announced that it has named Soo Jin Oh as its new vice president of advertising operations. With over nine years of industry experience, Soo Jin will be primarily responsible for managing Magnetic’s yield and optimization team. In this role, Oh will focus on strategic direction of Magnetic advertising platforms, media optimization strategies both on performance and margins, and adding new revenue channels that fuel the company’s national and global growth.
“Our expansion across the U.S. is the most opportune time to welcome Soo Jin on board,” said James Green, CEO at Magnetic. “Soo Jin’s extensive experience managing cross-functional teams and working across display, mobile, private ad exchanges and video will be a tremendous asset in the areas of ad optimization and campaign performance.”
Prior to joining Magnetic, Oh was vice president of advertising operations at IDG TechNetwork where she was responsible for building and managing operation teams across various departments, from display, video and mobile to private exchanges and data. Prior to IDG TechNetwork, she worked for Dogtime Media, the largest pet vertical media network, where she spent three years as director of ad operations, specifically overseeing the publishing network and ad operations that she built from its nascent stage.
“In the past, digital display advertising was seen purely as a reach play, but with various methods of retargeting in play, it’s become a highly sophisticated channel for customer acquisition and targeted awareness,” said Oh. “I am excited to join the team at Magnetic to help spearhead this next phase in the evolution of data-based ad targeting.”
Magnetic recently announced its expansion into the west coast and has plans to open a Chicago office in spring of 2012.
Oh is based in NYC and obtained her BA from the University of California at Berkeley.
