NEW YORK, May 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Charter
Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR), Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA)
and Cox Communications, owners of NCC Media, announced the national
advertising sales, marketing and technology company has named
programmatic ad pioneer Nicolle
Pangis to serve as president and CEO. Pangis will lead NCC
in the next phase of the company's development, building upon its
strength in linear TV to introduce a scaled, data-driven media
business for both linear and addressable buying.
As NCC president and CEO, Pangis will lead all revenue, business
operations and technology development with a focus on partnering
with and empowering brands to connect with audiences at scale
wherever and whenever they watch content. Pangis previously served
as global chief operating officer at GroupM's [m] PLATFORM where
she oversaw strategic partnerships, product management and
technology development.
"NCC has an excellent reputation in the linear ad space, and
will now extend that leadership position into the advanced ad
business," said David Kline,
Executive Vice President and President of Media Sales at Charter
Communications. "Nicolle, now armed with premium multi-screen
television content, great viewership insights and the scale
required to deliver on advertisers needs combined with her past
experiences in programmatic digital is the perfect combination
needed to drive NCC to great heights."
"As digital continues to increase, media dollars consolidate and
new content enters the market, NCC will provide the advertising
ecosystem with a consistent offering that combines the best of
television with that of digital," said Marcien Jenckes, President of Advertising at
Comcast Cable. "Nicolle is the perfect person to lead the charge at
NCC. She understands the needs of marketers and the complete media
landscape."
"NCC Media is a trusted media partner for many of the world's
largest advertisers and I'm thrilled to join the company as we
launch the next phase in our development," said Nicolle Pangis, President and CEO, NCC Media.
"I'm excited to build out the teams and platforms that truly unlock
the best of NCC Media and empower our partners and brands with the
best products as the evolution of addressable media continues."
Prior to [m]PLATFORM, Pangis was a central figure in the success
of Xaxis, a pioneering programmatic digital media business, serving
first as global chief revenue officer, followed by global chief
operating officer. Key highlights include launching the company's
machine learning technology team and playing an instrumental role
in the sale of Open AdStream to Appnexus. A recognized leader in
the media industry, Pangis has been named to the Adweek 50 list, Ad
Age's 40 Under 40, Business Insider's 30 Most Powerful Women in
Mobile and Crain's 40 Under 40 and honored as a Working Mother of
the Year by Working Mother Media and Advertising Women of
New York.
"We are excited to have Nicolle on board to lead NCC's
transition," said Billy Farina,
Senior Vice President at Cox Media. "This is another step in
future-proofing NCC and clear sign that we are reinventing the
business to meet the demands of brands and marketers."
In April, NCC made the first step in its transition and
announced the creation of a new division within the organization to
design, deploy and sell unified advertising solutions across NCC's
participants' national footprint. The group will build products
that deliver targeted audiences across linear and video on demand
(VOD) platforms. It will drive research, data and analytic
capabilities to provide advertisers and agencies with the ability
to measure the effectiveness of an advertisement and simplify how
they manage campaigns.
