MEET THE TEAM

In each issue of The Point, we interview a different member of the ValueClick Media team.

Meredith Jacobsen

Name: Meredith Jacobsen
Role: Director, Operations

How long have you been with ValueClick Media?
Five years with the Fastclick/ValueClick Media family.

What's the favorite part of your job?
I have so many favorite things, here are just a few:

  • I love solving problems: being presented with a challenge by an advertiser, investigating solutions and delivering results.
  • I love coming in to work every day and getting to interact with a group of smart, motivated, talented people who are focused on driving maximum performance for our clients.
  • I love the culture of the Internet industry. In my experience it's one that's face paced, competitive and driven by creativity.

What are the main factors that lead to a successful campaign?
As everyone would tell you, there are many factors that lead to success but every successful campaign starts with one ingredient: partnership. In working with any new client it is imperative that the lines of communication are open so that as a team we have a clear understanding of the objectives and what defines success for them. From that foundation our team of experts can get to work and communicate, communicate, communicate and tweak any media buy to ensure maximum ROI against various deliverables.

Based on your experience, what differentiates ValueClick Media?
The tenure of its employees and therefore the expertise they can bring to the job at hand.

Name one thing your clients don't know about you.
My birthday is Christmas Eve. Everyone always assumes that it would be the worst birthday ever since it gets lumped in with general holiday celebrations. However, I love it. It's a sure-fire way to ensure that my special day is always filled with festive spirit.
