Ex-Googler Appointed Senior Vice President of Partnerships
SYDNEY and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ROKT, the transaction marketing company, today announced it has named Jason Shugars senior vice president of Partnerships. In this newly created position Shugars will be responsible for the management of ROKT's rapidly growing network of partners, which already includes more than 50 of the world's leading online brands. He will report to Bruce Buchanan, ROKT's CEO, and be located in the company's San Francisco office.
"As the ROKT network and our company have expanded globally, we saw the need for someone who can understand both the technical requirements and marketing imperatives of our partners," Buchanan said. "We found that person in Jason Shugars. He is equally comfortable with product development and implementation as well as devising ways to maximize the benefits of the ROKT platform."
Shugars brings 15 years' experience in ad technology and related fields to ROKT.

"ROKT represents a tremendous opportunity for site operators with high transaction levels; it's one I am truly excited to be able to help advance," Shugars said. "The growth of the ROKT partner network has been nothing short of spectacular and I look forward to helping current and future partners make the most of all the ROKT network can deliver for them, their customers and advertisers who leverage the unique appeal and power of ROKT transaction marketing."
