NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Button, the leading cookieless growth marketing platform for personalization and optimization, announced the hire of Jason Morse as SVP of Product.

Button's platform has established itself as the solution growth marketers are turning to as they navigate the challenges related to privacy changes and rising costs to acquire users.

"While the landscape in mobile is changing rapidly, Button has successfully built the foundation for a privacy first, advertiser led marketing platform that delivers industry leading ROI."
