Commenting on his appointment, Craig Bonser said the opportunity to lead Quantcast’s commercial division was a unique opportunity within the market.

Bonser said: “Being able to continue my career in a leadership position like this for Quantcast is a great honour.

“As one of the world’s top adtech companies that’s uniquely placed to help brands grow, I look forward to helping the business to even greater heights over the next few years and beyond.”
