Hand will oversee the growing ad sales team and work with agencies and marketers to foster new relationships and grow existing partnerships.
“I had the good fortune of working with Jared about six years ago,” says Todd Anderman, chief media and revenue officer at Jumptap. “Jared has always been a star, and over the past few years he has developed into one of the digital industry’s sales leaders. His insights, leadership and consultative style are the perfect match to serve our existing and new advertising partners.”

He joins Jumptap from Gorilla Nation, where he served as vice-president of sales. Prior to Gorilla Nation, he held the same position at Clear Channel, where he started and ran the national online sales team for the Clear Channel Online Music & Radio division.
