David Palmer, General Manager, Dedicated Media; I’ve been having fun with computers since 64k of RAM was all the memory you could ever need. I’ve been working in advertising and marketing throughout my entire career. I started in advertising sales for Europe’s largest publisher, and then transitioned into getting heavily involved with the Internet back in 1997. My career has been split between startups and billion dollar companies. At one point, I helped turn a startup into a $580 million company. I love the online space – specifically the marriage of response metrics, optimization, and the creative process. I try to use the latest and greatest technology to tackle the industry problems we face, which means I’m always learning and engaged. I’m very proud of how far CPADNA and Dedicated Media have come and I’m more excited than ever about what lies ahead.  I’m passionately “dedicated” to making CPADNA a powerhouse in the affiliate marketing world. We believe achieving this is going to be a matter of relationships, quality, and results. Paying attention to these principles creates a virtuous circle of growth for advertisers and publishers alike. I look forward to working with you.
