Content discovery site StumbleUpon has hired former Digitas executive Teal Newland as its first vice
president of sales. In that capacity, she will oversee all of the company’s ad sales efforts for its paid discovery platform and report directly to CEO and co-founder Garrett Camp.
Newland was most recently a vice president and group director of global brand content at Digitas, leading the practice for brands including American Express, Delta Airlines, Intel and Asus. Prior
to Digitas, she was head of brand strategy for Disney Innovation, overseeing digital creative, social and media strategy across all Disney business lines.
StumbleUpon says more than 75,000
brands, publishers and other marketers have used its paid discovery offering launched last year to reach its 20 million users.
