REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--StrongMail, a leading provider of interactive
marketing solutions for email marketing and social media, today announced the appointment of Jason Simon as
senior vice president of sales. A seasoned sales executive and direct marketing veteran, Jason Simon has more than
20 years of experience helping leading marketing organizations expand their businesses and grow their bottom lines.
In his new role, Simon will be responsible for executing StrongMail's global sales strategy and managing its
distributed sales force.
"Jason's deep industry experience makes him the ideal sales executive to support our evolution from best-of-breed

services team and full support for social, mobile and other emerging channels," said Sam Cece, CEO of StrongMail.

even broader set of Fortune 2000 companies."
With offices in Silicon Valley, New York, Atlanta and London, StrongMail has built a profitable business providing
interactive marketers across the globe with the tools they need to engage their customers with relevant messages

StrongMail stands out for the caliber of both its technology and agency services capabilities," said Jason Simon,
senior vice president of sales at StrongMail. "It's exciting to work for the only company that has the technology
backbone to effectively address the current explosion of customer data and the growing requirement to get relevant
messages delivered in near real-time."
Simon's digital marketing expertise spans more than a decade, most recently as SVP of sales and sales business
operations at ClickEquations. In that role, Simon revamped the company's sales and marketing operations, resulting
in 50% annual growth and a successful acquisition by Channel Intelligence. Previously, as vice president of sales at
