Critical Media, a leader in global broadcast intelligence solutions, has appointed Steve Shannon as VP, Sales and Marketing and Andrew Koeck as Director, Strategic Partnerships for the company's Critical Mention division.

Shannon will be responsible for growing the client base and increasing revenues through expansion, leadership and management of the sales and client service teams while overseeing all marketing functions for Critical Mention.

Koeck is charged with leading and developing Critical Mention's third-party channels for its partnership platform. The new team will help to open up new business opportunities where real-time TV intelligence content was previously not available.

Shannon was with BurrellesLuce for 17 years and most recently served as EVP overseeing sales, service, marketing and product development. He began as an account executive and regional sales manager with the company and is credited with more than doubling sales of the Media Contacts service. In the product development arena, Shannon conceived and led the launch of the BurrellesLuce web portal, resulting in a clip revenue increase of 32 percent. He also designed and implemented the iMonitor service, launched in October 2008, and led his team to more than 600 sales of the service in its first 12 months. He is also credited with growing the Media Measurement unit by 10 percent.

For more than 15 years Koeck has helped technology and service companies achieve stronger revenue streams and improved market share. He has successfully managed corporate turnarounds, mergers and the go-to-market strategies for several new technology hardware and software products. He previously served as the president and VP Partnerships at dna13 Inc., a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company and a leader of on-demand software for real-time reputation management; President of Intermate International, a premier U.S. supplier of IBM printing solutions including electronic forms to the industry's leading manufacturers; and VP of Sales and Marketing at LCI SMARTpen, a Belgium-based company and award-winning developer of biometric security products.

DOmedia, a comprehensive database and tool set for alternative, traditional and digital out-of-home media, has introduced a new subscription-based directory service of media property information. DOmedia provides subscribing advertising agencies, brand advertisers and media buying agencies with premium information and detailed profiles of more than 200,000 specific media properties, resulting in a significant savings in time, money and resources during the research and discovery phase of campaign planning.

"We've invested extensively in building a database that provides significant value to the advertising and marketing industry," said Andrew Mansinne, CEO of DOmedia.

"Advertisers and agencies indicate this information is a premium because it saves time, resources and money when planning a comprehensive campaign. Agencies and brand advertisers don't have to commit company resources to maintaining a spreadsheet of information that is virtually impossible to keep up-to-date. At DOmedia, we maintain all of the valuable detailed information advertisers and agencies need, make it easily searchable and pair it with industry resources and data that empower advertisers and agencies to make informed decisions about their media spend."

Media sellers and property owners benefit from increased visibility among serious, qualified buyers and are assured that proprietary information about their media property characteristics and logistics are shared with only qualified, interested advertisers.

DOmedia remains a valuable, complementary research tool that is free to list and free to search. Basic information such as name, address and contact information of the media seller is available for free. DOmedia subscribers receive access to advanced search features such as single and multiple DMAs, Metro Areas (MSAs), zip code and proximity abilities. Subscribers also gain access to critical data points for each media property including: rates, contract terms, lead times, impressions, coverage area and creative specs. In addition, subscribers will have access to the DOmedia Resources library, complete with up-to-date industry information and DMA reports to assist with planning and ideation.

Companies can purchase one DOmedia subscription per company that provides unlimited access and approved user accounts for 12 months from the activation date. Pricing is based on either annual billings of an agency or annual media spend by an advertiser.
