Openings and New Hires at LoyalBlocks, Showroom Logic and JUICE Mobile

Every two weeks, Kelly Benish — who knows practically everyone in hyperlocal — covers some of the latest job changes taking place in this dynamic industry. (Plus, scroll down for jobs on offer now.)

Daniel Razumov – LoyalBlocks
Daniel Razumov has an extended history of managing and directing online advertising for companies such as MySupermarket, TargetSpot and Babylon. Recently, LoyalBlocks thought he was pretty swell and picked him up as their VP of customer acquisition. With his skill set in online advertising, he is sure to help LoyalBlocks further their brand reach and acquire their main targets: small- and medium-sized businesses.

Teresa Bordenet – Showroom Logic
One of my favorite ‘trade show family members’ Teresa Bordenet whom I affectionately refer to as “T” announced that she is leaving call-tracking company Telmetrics earlier this week after two-and-a-half years and get back to her strong roots in autos. She was recruited to work for Showroomlogic, an SEM platform specific to auto dealerships as their VP of business development. Years ago, some of T’s largest call-tracking clients were in the auto dealer industry at a time where it was a male-dominated industry. She paved the way as one of the female pioneers in the industry and earned the respect of those around her.

Jake Denny – JUICE Mobile
Mobile advertising and technology group JUICE Mobile recently brought on Jake Denny as VP of ad sales for the United States. The company just built up a west coast presence with a Los Angeles office. Denny will be charged with forming mass sales strategies, focus on obtaining mobile goals and building client relationships. Denny was most recently in a role by the same name at The Mobile Majority and prior to that, a sales director for Tapjoy. Whilst at Tapjoy he was charged with opening their New York office and built a sales and account management team.

Andrew Katz – Lincoln Financial Media
Lincoln Financial Media recently came to the realization that digital media is the fastest-growing revenue stream for the radio industry and they decided to hunt for talent outside of their industry who is extremely well digitally versed. They recently brought on their inaugural director of digital sales, Andrew Katz. Most recently, he owned Thumb Friendly, which helped businesses manage their mobile presence. Katz also held roles as national sales manager for names such as Citygrid and YP and started his career in publishing. This seems like a great move for him and it will be great for Lincoln to have an in-house expert.

Andy Vogel – Colony Logic
Andy Vogel has recently transitioned from the position of COO to CRO at the company, to launch sales efforts in new industry verticals, including digital media, e-commerce, franchising, healthcare, financial services, technology and automotive. Their party at Street Fight Summit earlier this month was a hoot!

Moving on up…

My New Jersey brother from another mother Chet Kwiatkowski was just promoted from sales director at WebsPlanet to executive director of sales at the website-creation company.
