Gamasutra Sister Ad Network GAO Expands, Recruiting New Staff

Author: by Staff

Gamasutra's sister free-to-play game ad network Game Advertising Online is recruiting for two new positions as it expands its market-leading position helping developers reach new players. The service, which was acquired by parent division the UBM Techweb Game Network in February, is a top 75 Quantcast ad network in the U.S., with 50 million unique viewers and nearly 3 billion ad impressions served monthly. GAO is particularly popular with free-to-play web game companies such as Bigpoint, Turbine and Gameforge who are looking to acquire new users for their games. As such, the Game Network's San Francisco offices are looking to hire the following positions to expand the network: - The 'Senior Trafficking Strategist' will take ownership of the relationships with both advertisers and the ‘publishers’ who provide sites to the GAO Network, including market-leading firms in both categories, and optimize campaigns to give maximum rewards to both parties. - The 'Lead Developer/Architect' position will be the new lead technical resource for Game Advertising Online. This role will lead new feature development on our game ads solution for both internal and external users, ensure a continually optimized code base, and have overall responsibility for day to day maintenance and issue/bug resolution. In addition, the UBM Techweb Game Network is hiring for additional positions such as a Sales Associate for GDC group pass sales and the GDC Vault, with all positions listed on Gamasutra's industry job postings section.
