Interactive agency NicholsonNY said it
hired two marketing pros and is unveiling a new vision for online
advertising to make research and media planning integral parts of the
creative process.
President and CEO Tom Nicholson said the agency will also invest in
development of proprietary tools for tracking and analyzing behavior of Web
consumers, and plans to use those results to build more effective sites for
target audiences.
NicholsonNY is a full-service interactive communications agency whose clients
include IBM, Sony, NBC, Thomas Publishing, and Reader’s Digest.
Michael Wexler, whose work in Web measurement includes pioneering analyses of
behavior and psychology, has been named director of research and measurement.
Wexler had been manager of marketing analysis for the Strategic Interactive
Group in Boston.
Kathleen Sheridan becomes NicholsonNY’s media director. She had been at
Wunderman Cato Johnson, where her experience included directing interactive
marketing and media planning efforts for clients including American Express,
Apple Computer, AT&T, Novell, Sears, and Xerox.
Nicholson said Wexler and Sheridan will spearhead an expansion of the
agency’s media buying and planning capabilities, and an integration of both
services into the creative process.
