Sales Director

Ready to be part of the front-line sales team selling, defining, and tapping demand for the next wave of innovation in digital media? Tired of selling undifferentiated banners and weird custom media formats that advertisers don't want to buy? Forget that noise. At 140 Proof you'll be delivering the premier brand of Interest Graph targeted social ads that every brand and digital agency wants. This opportunity goes way beyond any single social network: we are bringing the blended Interest Graph to advertisers across all of digital beyond walled gardens or domains.

140 Proof makes social ads relevant by understanding how consumers share their interests online. By interpreting and mapping the Blended Interest Graph, 140 Proof matches people with relevant messages about things they like.

Brand advertisers and major media companies trust 140 Proof and its partner network to deliver powerful social advertising at scale. And because social ads powered by the interest graph perform better than display and search ads, popular app developers across the social ecosystem entrust 140 Proof to generate their revenue streams.

140 Proof and its patent-pending interest graph targeting algorithm is backed by Founders Fund, BlueRun Ventures, and SV Angel, the investors behind Facebook, PayPal, and Twitter.

Our customers include hundreds of market innovators like FedEx, Google, CBS Sports, Infiniti, Groupon, Best Buy, and over 2,000 startups and small businesses.

Our advisors include heavy hitters like Ron Conway, Chad Stoller (inventor of FourSquare’s “Mayors”), and Buzz Andersen, lead iPhone developer for Square and Director of Mobile at Tumblr.
