Previously the global head of business intelligence, technology and data at Omnicom Media Group (OMG), the global media services division of Omnicom, Inc., Donahue will drive the technology vision for BuzzLogic's Conversation Ad Targeting™ Platform, leveraging his years of experience with Fortune 50 brands and expertise in reporting and analytics solutions to enhance the company's platform and data strategy.

"The social web has created an explosion of data when it comes to audience behavior online. BuzzLogic's platform is about using conversational intelligence to identify the best places for marketers to invite consumers into a two-way dialogue, which makes a lot of sense to me," said Donahue.
