NEW YORK, NY – Integral Ad Science, media valuation platform, today announced that it has appointed Niall Hogan as its new United Kingdom managing director to lead the expansion of its business in the UK and across Europe. Integral provides digital technology solutions that help advertisers plan, execute and target their audience in an environment that associates their brand with quality and drives ROI. The company has a large footprint in the US, UK and Asia Pacific. Hogan’s appointment signifies Integral’s increased focus on growth across its key markets.

“The UK and Europe are growth markets for Integral, and we have been investing heavily in expanding our presence in the region,” said Bryan St. John, SVP, international, Integral. “We are thrilled to have an experienced and talented executive of Niall’s caliber leading our UK team. It positions us for great success throughout 2013 and beyond.”
“I am excited to join the Integral team at such a high-growth period and look forward to introducing more of its game-changing offerings, like TRAQ Score, to buyers and sellers across the region,” said Hogan. “Buyers in our market are hungry to bring their media budgets online with a confidence in quality, and sellers are just as eager to earn more for quality and learn how to improve what they deliver. Integral delivers value to both.”
