Each week, avant|marketer receives many requests from members of the press to interview avant|marketer Managing Editor, Ajay Segal - a sought-after Internet Advertising industry opinion-leader. Due to constraints on Mr. Segal's time, he is only able to accept interview requests on a limited basis. In the event that an interview is possible, this can usually be completed by phone within three business days of the request. However, email interviews are preferred, where possible, and can usually be completed more quickly, within one to two business days.

If you would like to set up a time to do a formal interview with Ajay Segal, please contact us at press@avantmarketer.com (be certain to provide any relevant details about the piece that you are working on).

avant|marketer is not a news organization, strictly speaking - but a publication for high-level Internet Advertising strategy. Therefore, please be aware that we do not do function as a "wire service" dispatching any and all news on the Internet Advertising space.

Instead, we look for information on happenings, trends, technologies, companies, and people of wide-spanning strategic importance to executive-level players dealing in the medium. If you have such information, we wholeheartedly welcome it.

Due the massive volume of press releases we regularly receive, it unfortunately is impossible for us to follow up on each and every release. Please be assured that we do review every release submitted to us, and that we actively follow-up in cases in which we are interested in pursuing a particular news item.
