Mark Ailsworth, a seasoned media professional and president of the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association (CIMA), was named to the new position of director of sales in Undertone’s Chicago office. Ailsworth joined Undertone from Pandora Media, where he was responsible for establishing the company’s Midwest sales operations.

Brad Fox, formerly sales manager with AOL’s Advertising.com, joined Undertone as director of sales in Detroit. Fox will play a critical role in further developing relationships with existing auto industry clients, including Chrysler, Ford and General Motors, and establishing new partnerships both within and outside the automotive vertical. Fox has previously held senior-level sales, strategy, and account management positions with Edmunds.com, AutoPacific, D’Arcy Advertising, Young & Rubicam, and J. Walter Thompson.
In San Francisco, John Yearout will serve as director of sales with responsibility for the Rocky Mountain region, Northern California, and the Pacific Northwest.

Walter Thompson.
