IMPACT+, a global pioneer in helping marketers measure and reduce the environmental impact of their digital ad campaigns, has hired ad tech veteran Bernie Sham as the company’s new product marketing director.
Sham, who has worked in the ad industry for almost two decades for companies including IPONWEB, Mediacom, Quantcast, and Omnicom Media Group (OMG), will be responsible for driving awareness and industry-wide adoption of the advertising platform’s advanced suite of sustainability solutions.

Sham brings with him a wealth of experience to his new role, having worked in the industry for 18 years at both agencies and tech platforms. Before joining IMPACT+, Sham helped establish the product marketing function for IPONWEB, before its acquisition by Criteo, where he helped launch the MediaGrid (now Criteo Commerce Grid).
