- Everyone say hi to Ashley Dees, Business Development Executive at our San Francisco, CA office. Although Ashley has a busy schedule trying to onboard new clients, it was easy-peasy to track her for this quick conversation. She has studied Anthropology and really understands physiological characteristics that distinguish one person from another. An adventurer at heart Ashley believes in “Things go wrong – Life goes on”. Time to familiarize Ashley to others in her own words!
- What does your job at Chocolate entail?
An average day for me involves mapping and reaching out app/ game developers and discussing their monetization strategies. It’s all about unlocking/ maximizing the true ad revenue potential of their mobile game/app for me. Apart from helping app developers accomplish their business goals my main focus is onboarding the maximum number of publishers for Chocolate. My work involves contacting new publishers over call, email and industry events. I travel frequently mostly within United States meeting publishers from across the globe. The last expo I attended was E3 at Los Angles.
