Prior to SFX, Arrix was executive vice president of digital advertising sales at MTV Networks, where he was in charge of sales, operations, marketing and product development for a variety of Viacom brands, including MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and Spike. During his nine-year tenure at Viacom, he was an integral part of the management team that established MTV Networks as a digital leader, managing over $300 million in revenue. He previously spent three years at CBS SportsLine and the company's European venture Sports.com, and seven years at Turner Broadcasting in advertising sales and business development. While at Turner, he helped build the continental European advertising business, bringing many of the company's leading brands to new markets.

"I have always sought out career opportunities that present massive opportunity for disruption and expansion. Mobile continues to reinvent how brands communicate with consumers, and Verve's pinpoint location accuracy and decade-rich experience is unmatched in the marketplace," said Arrix. "I am thrilled to work with Nada and the incredibly talented people of Verve as we reimagine marketing on mobile."
