CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketsmith Inc., one of the nation's leading data science-driven marketing agencies, has named Norman Lane executive vice president, media investment, effective immediately.

Lane joins Marketsmith as the growing agency heads into its 20th year of operations. He takes the role as head of the media department, filling the position vacated by Rob Bochicchio due to his recent promotion to president.

"Marketsmith is leading the pack because the company believes that a brand's in-market media performance is key to its success," said Lane. "Intelligent media planning, flawless execution and optimization are the agency's hallmarks."

Leveraging its proven MarketsmithIQ^TM platform, the company is known for the quality of its data and employing the best media negotiators in the business to ensure constant efficiencies and superior outcomes.

Says agency President Rob Bochicchio, "Norman is an accomplished industry leader with great energy and an obsessive nature about the use of data science and embedded analytics for a superior media practice.
