Horizon Media is promoting Gene Turner from executive vice president/managing partner to President of Horizon Next. 

Turner has led the operation since it launched ten years ago as Horizon’s in-house direct marketing unit.  He will continue to report to Bill Koenigsberg, President, CEO and Founder of Horizon Media. 

Turner’s promotion recognizes his role in Next’s growth and success. The agency began with two people and $10 million in client billings and now has 40+ clients, 300+ employees, offices in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto, and invests over $2 billion on behalf of its clients. 

“As performance media and daily optimization yield increasing returns in our data-driven world, Gene and Horizon Next are leading the way and writing the book on the future of effectiveness and efficiency,” says Koenigsberg. “Horizon Next has the scale, talent and proven track record to be a truly disruptive force for brands with aggressive goals and an accountable mindset.”
