CHARLIE PONGER
Associate
Charlie Ponger has had years of traditional media experience handling national TV sales for MMT and Storer when he went on to manage various radio stations in Connecticut and Florida. It was in the mid 1990’s that he discovered his passion for interactive media. He became one of the pioneers of the Internet advertising industry as business development manager for New York-based Internet Broadcast Systems. There, he played dual roles, assisting hundreds of TV stations in developing new online revenue solutions for their local advertisers, while personally working with Fortune 500 companies like AT&T and American Express to help them to have access to the local online readers in the many markets he represented.
With this experience and success behind him, Tribune Media recruited Charlie to lead their New England-based media properties in online offerings as general manager of Interactive Media. It was here that Charlie gained superior knowledge in developing innovative online solutions that helped local businesses find new customers on the Web.
After six successful years with Tribune Media, Charlie moved to MediaSpan as their director of online sales. There, he was responsible for helping their hundreds of local media companies offer the latest, most effective online marketing solutions to their local advertisers.
Today, Charlie works for the Sales Opportunities Network as a traveling consultant and also heads his own interactive consulting service from his hometown of Bedford, NY. He is proud of his latest accomplishment of developing a highly effective iPhone application, which is downloaded and used by millions of mobile users today!
