A personal note: I have rejoined The Kelsey Group full time, where I will be a vice president and run the fast-growing Marketplaces program. As readers of this blog know all too well, our vision is that local advertising is verticalizing, and that almost 25 percent of all interactive advertising will come from verticals and classifieds by 2012.
It is an ongoing pleasure to work with the talented team at Kelsey. I first started working with the company in 1997, after serving nine years as a vice president at Arlen Communications Inc., a new media consultancy. Prior to that, I served a few years at Telecom Publishing Group, where I wrote about enhanced telephone company services (such as electronic Yellow Pages). Previously, I was director of research at The Cable Television Information Center, where I advised cities on new media and cable TV regulation. It’s been quite a fascinating ride…..
Congrats Peter – TKG is lucky to have you with them fulltime.
Peter, congrats to both you and TKG. :-)
Peter,
All of us in the vertical spaces are benefiting from you expertise.
The Kelsey Group is fortunate to have you.
Keep up the great works.
