Its opportunity is massive because advertisers are desperate for a simple solution to drive profitability amidst online complexity and a volatile economy. I’ve seen many different search-engine marketing technologies, but none with Clickable’s caliber of people, drive and resources. I look forward to working with the team to grow Clickable into Silicon Alley’s next great Internet success story.”
