Munich, 05 March 2010 – The Swedish company TradeDoubler constantly continues to shape its international expansion and appoints Heiko Schmidl to Country Manager of Austria

Heiko Schmidl follows Erik Lehner as Country Manager of TradeDoubler Austria. Formerly, Schmidl was Director Premium Markets working for Austria‘s largest online market place, willhaben.at, which he himself, as the leading power, positioned as one of the traffic-wise most relevant sites of the country. Before, he has been working with Microsoft Austria as Mid Market Manager and as Key Account Manager with Orange Austria, formerly operating as ONE.

It will be the company’s main goal, to assure its own affiliate network (td Affiliate) the rise to the top position in the local market. In his efforts, Schmidl will be supported by a passionate team consisting of digital marketing experts. Together with him, they are supposed to take the local business to the next level of success. td Affiliate offers advertisers Europe’s most efficient solution in distributing their partner programmes throughout a large ad network. Publishers are provided with the latest programmes including all terms of renumeration, and the respective ad material. TradeDoubler’s account team accompanies both advertiser and publishers in optimizing their activities to ensure a top performance in both directions.

Anders Fritz-Carlsen, Director Central Europe at TradeDoubler says: “With Heiko Schmidl’s in-depth knowledge and network within the digital media industry, he is one of the most respected local leaders who will develop our potential tremendously. I’m delighted to officially announce Heiko’s appointment today and to welcome him on board.” Fritz-Carlsen adds: “Also, our local presence in over 18 markets is a premium benefit compared to our competitors. Advertisers and publishers accredit TradeDoubler’s customer proximity with long-lasting relationships. I’m completely convinced that our locally state-of-the-art marketing solutions – considering companies’ ongoing budget limitations – will support our clients in managing their marketing spending in line with a superior ROI in the most efficient way”, notes Schmidl.
