Tags: Today we are announcing some big changes at OpenX. We have hired Tim Cadogan as our CEO, and are adding a shiny new office in the USA! Tim has deep product experience and has been in the advertising world a long time (remember Goto.com???). Together we will really be able to accelerate the product roadmap, and make OpenX a website publisher’s favorite tool.
Welcome Tim!

Good move. If you open an office in Vancouver, Canada gimmie a call!!!
Great. Nice to see OpenX is doing well and expanding. But…
Is there any news on building support for expandable Flash ads?
And other new, rich ads formats? As Video?
Regards,
Dean
We are busy building a plugin API so that it is easy for us (or anyone else in the community) to build more ad types, like expandable Flash, mobile, video, etc.
There already is a long list of plugins (video and mobile are already on the list) that have been requested. I will make sure expandable flash is on the list as well.
Cheers,
Scott
Thank you for reply Scott! Great news. It would be awesome to see OpenX expanding over common style banners. Not only as your current clients will be able to use OpenX on more places and bring revenue up, but you’ll have new clients. Startups in mobile, rich media and video area that are (as every new business) keen to start earning as soon as possible.
Keep up with good work!
Hey Tim, congratulations on becoming CEO! After your successes at Overture and Yahoo!, I’m excited to see another big win for you.
OpenX is amazing, thank you. I’m excited about the LA office and hope to drop by one day and say hi when you all get settled!
