Please give a warm welcome to the newest addition to the Shopit Team: Mr. Rex Dixon! Rex is taking on the role of Director of Publisher Management (fancy, i know 
). So here’s a little more about Rex… where he comes from, where he’s been, and where he’s headed with Shopit.
Rex joins the ShopitMedia team in Los Angeles, CA as our Director of Publisher Management. Rex most recently came from a successful ad network that he was a co-founder/Publisher Relations at - Lookery.
Lookery sold the ad network business last November (2008) to Adknowledge/Cubics to move forward with it’s current data business. At the time of the sale, they were the 4th ranked ad network in terms of ad impressions delivered for social nets, and sold to the #1 ranked ad network for social nets.
Prior to his role with Lookery, he worked with Lending Club as Director of Social Media Content. His talents are as diverse as his background of experience. He was the first external blogger to write for VentureBeat and scored a Digg page 1 home run on his first piece! Rex has also done technology evangelist work with startup companies such as Criteo.
Prior to the startup world, he worked as an IT consultant for such Fortune 500 companies as AT&T, AG Edwards and Monsanto to name a few. When Rex isn’t online, he likes to spend time with his family, playing the drums, guitar, bass, singing and writing more crazy songs than he’ll ever perform.
We’re confident Rex will be an amazing addition to the team, and very excited to hear some of some of these crazy songs he’ll be performing for the office. (see Rex, you’ve got a new built-in audience right here at Shopit headquarters, so get to strummin’…)
