I work in digital marketing as well as media buying, so from the perspective of 'somebody who you're looking for', I'd definitely recommend that you put together a good list of features that your ad network has, the functionality it offers, any USP's that other ad networks don't have, the (vaguely if need be) type of networks you'd want to operate in.

Also, are you looking for a sales guy to actually get agencies or brands to buy ads on your network, or are you looking for a person with a deep understanding of online marketing that would be doing business development and acquiring publishing channels for your network for advertisers to advertise on?

Thanks for the advice. I am looking for a sales guy who would help acquire publishers to the network..

Can you put an email address in your profile?

I have done that!! thanks
