Former Telegraph Group MD Hugo Drayton joins Advertising.com

Hugo Drayton, the former Telegraph Group managing director, is joining Advertising.com as its European managing director.

The AOL-owned broker of online ad sites has briefed Drayton to build its European business to match the scale of its US operation. He will strengthen its business in France, Germany and Spain.

Drayton said: It's the right time for the market. The online advertising market is in huge growth, while the rest of the market is mostly stagnant.

Drayton left the Telegraphy in October as one of the first casualties of its new owners, the Barclay brothers. He joined the group in 1994 as a marketing manager, rising to managing director of Hollinger's new media group in 2000, and became the managing director of the Telegraph Group's newspaper in 2003.

Gar Richlin, the president and chief operating office of Advertising.com said: "His leadership will help us to continue our rapid growth in the important and exciting European markets."
