VERO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bridgevine, Inc., an industry pacesetter in digital performance-based customer acquisition technology and marketing strategies, today announced that Todd Cullen has joined the company as Senior Vice President, Consumer Insights & Analytics.

The addition of Cullen to the already strong data team at Bridgevine underscores the central role that Big Data, insights and analytics play not only today, but also in the next phase of expansion at Bridgevine.

"I am thrilled to welcome Todd Cullen to the Bridgevine team," said J. Patrick ("JP") Bewley, CEO of Bridgevine.

"As Bridgevine embarks on this next stage of growth, I am excited to join JP and this great team in harnessing the power of Big Data and analytics to help our clients understand and optimally interact with consumers," Cullen stated. "One thing is clear—consumers today are in charge. Bridgevine is perfectly positioned to shape and improve the consumer experience based on the insight available from factors like life-stage, shopping preferences, and social engagement. It's no longer about racking up impressions, clicks, and offers...it's about winning the consumer experience challenge."
