Artificial Intelligence Company to Scale Growth; Drive Enterprise
and Agency Adoption
Albert Technologies (LSE: ALB.L), the world’s first and only
fully autonomous AI-as-a-service platform for marketers, today
announced Mark Kirschner its new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).
Kirschner joins Albert after serving as CMO of eBay Enterprise and
The Trade Desk, and Vice CMO of Global Marketing at Rakuten, an $18
Billion global ecommerce marketplace based in Tokyo. As CMO,
Kirschner will focus on building and refining Albert’s global
marketing infrastructure, driving adoption across global consumer
brands and expanding the company’s growing partnership program.
Kirschner has spent the last two decades carving out a
reputation for building and scaling marketing and product programs
for rapid-growth start-ups, as well as new ventures within global
corporations. His work has been widely recognized domestically and
internationally. In 2015, while working for eBay Enterprise, he was
named one of the “100 Most Innovative CMOs in the World.” In 2016,
he was instrumental to what was widely lauded as the most
successful adtech IPO of 2016, having designed and executed the
communications plan around The Trade Desk’s IPO (NASDAQ: TTD). In
2010, Kirschner was the first employee from an acquisition to be
made an executive officer at the 10,000-person ecommerce company
Rakuten in Tokyo, where he handled consumer and merchant marketing
for marketplaces in 14 countries.
Kirschner now joins Albert Technologies, two years after the
2016 U.S. launch of its autonomous AI technology Albert and its
2015 IPO on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market. Albert now
manages cross channel orchestration of paid search, social and
programmatic campaigns for some of the world’s leading brands,
evolving them and discovering opportunities as it does so. As
Albert continues to gain traction with enterprise-level retail,
financial services, travel and FMCG brands—and expands its
relationships with agencies and partners—Kirschner will evolve its
go-to-market strategy for an evolving client base.
“Mark will play a pivotal role in our growth as we increase our
level of engagements with large global brands and partners,” said
Or Shani, CEO and Founder of Albert. “His experience and expertise
make him an ideal fit for our leadership team, and I am confident
he will make an immediate impact. We are thrilled to welcome him to
the Albert team.”
“AI transformation is a huge opportunity for consumer marketers.
Brands and their agencies are discovering that AI can create
enormous benefits for digital teams that are held back by lack of
resources, data overload or overly complex tech stacks,” said
Kirschner. “AI is no longer for super early adopters. Today, our
clients are using it to deliver results in the complex
cross-channel digital landscape, creating individualized customer
experiences at a pace and scale that only a machine can manage.
There’s no reason for marketers to spend so much time manually
crunching data or trying to anticipate consumer journeys when AI
can empower them with the capability to execute their vision across
an entire paid campaign in real time.”
