Madrid, 5 October 2021 – Blis, the leading privacy-first, location-powered programmatic advertising partner, today announces the hire of  Javier Puig as Head of Sales for Spain. With over 16 years of industry experience working in the Spanish market, Javier joins Blis from ZinetMedia, where he worked as Chief Revenue Officer coordinating sales strategy and leading a team of more than 30 people.

Commenting on the new challenges, Javier said: “I couldn’t be happier to be joining Blis at such an important time for the company. Blis has been leading the location-powered advertising ecosystem for years and it is an honour to be leading our sales operations in the Spanish market. I am proud to be part of a company that is committed to evolving its own technologies, with a privacy-first approach always in mind.”
