AdStorm, Revolutionary New Political Advertising Engine, Names Three Advisors
New advisors bring expertise in political advertising and cable TV ad sales to AdStorm, the democratizing political advertising platform launched this week.
August 8, 2024 – WASHINGTON, D.C. – AdStorm (myadstorm.com), the democratizing political advertising platform, has added three veterans to its board: Davina Kent advising on TV media planning, buying, and partnerships, Martin Hamburger on political advertising and outreach, and Jennifer Harrison advising on public affairs and publicity.
Launched to the public this week, AdStorm breaks the lock that, until now, made TV advertising only available to candidates, powerbrokers, big donors and consultants. With AdStorm, anyone can pick an ad of their choice, select the location and time for it to air, and then pay directly for that airtime.
AdStorm founder, Derek Newton said, “We are very fortunate to have Davina, Martin, and Jennifer give us their talent and experience to supercharge AdStorm’s growth.”
