Reporting to CEO Dave Morgan, Mr. Zimbalist will lead Simulmedia's efforts to transform television advertising toward a people-centric model, bringing outcome-based targeting and verifiable attribution to brand marketers who use linear TV, thereby dramatically improving the return on their investment.

"Michael is one of the smartest, most creative, and most respected executives in digital marketing," said Mr. Morgan in announcing the hire.

"Simulmedia has developed the software and science to find and reach specific audiences on linear TV, and to prove that the advertising delivers results. This 'people first' approach represents the future of marketing. I'm thrilled to be joining the team."
