Voodoovox

Enterprise SaaS Advertising Platform Serving 1 billion+ Ad Impressions Per Month

As an innovative design leader, I spearheaded transformative initiatives, shaping branding and UX strategies across seven online platforms and engaging a vast global audience of 500 million users.

Leading a dynamic 15-member UX team, I orchestrated the groundbreaking launch of the first cloud-based mobile/video advertising streaming platform. This strategic move not only opened up a novel revenue stream, surpassing $20 million but also empowered major partners such as Western Union, ESPN, Spotify, and Disney to deliver precision-targeted ads in real-time.

Taking charge of all branding, UX initiatives, and information architecture projects, I successfully deployed the pioneering cloud-based mobile audio & video ad platform, creating a significant impact in the promotional space. My contributions extended to enabling partners to access detailed audience profiles for precision-targeted real-time ads through a sophisticated FLEX targeting interface.

Additionally, I led a team of UX experts and mobile engineers in developing over 50 iOS/Android apps, aligning seamlessly with modern mobile interface standards. This comprehensive approach played a pivotal role in positioning VoodooVox as a leader in the digital audio/video streaming advertising domain while markedly expanding our digital footprint.
