SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 9, 2008) - BrightRoll, the world's largest branded video advertising network, today announced the addition of two new account directors to its growing sales team, a move that will help the company continue to meet strong demand for video advertising solutions and premium publisher video inventory. Kerry Fagan joins BrightRoll as an account director for the Northwest region, and Dave Simon takes on the account director position for the Midwest territory. Fagan and Simon will help grow BrightRoll's footprint in rapidly expanding regional markets and continue to grow the company's relationships with advertisers and publishers.

The company offers a suite of proprietary ad units, ranging from traditional display inventory, such as the full-screen videostitial unit, and an innovative High Definition unit that provides advertisers with the largest distribution of HD-ready video ad inventory available in the industry today.
