Karol Smith comments: “I can’t wait to get Cavai’s ground-breaking service out to
more industry partners, brands, and agencies. Conversational advertising is one of
the new frontiers of advertising; as yet largely untapped and at times
misunderstood. There is so much potential for brands to boost engagement and
connections with their audiences and Cavai’s technology enables advertisers to do
just that.”
Tommy Torjesen, founder, Cavai, said: “Karol’s expertise in retail and finance – two
key sectors for conversational advertising – meaning that she will be a trusted source of
advice for our growing client base. I have no doubt that she will help us to deliver
optimal experiences that boost personalization and engagement within one of the
most innovative advertising formats currently on the market. She is a passionate and
thorough digital leader, with an ability to plan, execute and optimize across markets,
whilst maintaining an awareness of those all-important local nuances.”
Cavai currently works with companies such as HP, Coca Cola, Nordea, Daimler,
Nissan and Unilever. The news of these hires comes hot on the heels of its recent
launch of a hub in Singapore as well as significant expansion in Spanish-speaking
regions in recent months.
