Working with an external development company, I led the design and implementation of the House & Home app for Samsung SmartTVs.

Ad rolls served by Google DFP were integrated from the start as a business model to support the app.

I also maintained the relationships with multiple newsstands (iOS, Google Play, NextIssue, Zinio, Nook), and sent monthly marketing support materials.
