The Team Behind One-to-One Advertising by AdRevolution

Andrew Westmoreland
CEO and Founder

Andrew is AdRevolution's CEO and founder as well as the Company's chief software architect. He is also the inventor of AdRevolution's proprietary Natural Intelligence Marketing Engine (NIME) for one-to-one ad targeting.

Andrew developed his first robust software solution while still in high school in Ashland, Oregon. He worked with small and medium-sized businesses to help them integrate their business operations with his online shopping platform. He saw a common thread among their needs – they always wanted more traffic and sales from high quality sources. This common need is what inspired Andrew to create AdRevolution as an alternative to other traffic sources such as Google.

Andrew is passionate in his belief that a paradigm shift toward customer-centrism in online marketing will spur the creation of large markets. AdRevolution is leading this shift.

Outside of business, Andrew has two Basset Hounds – Ari and Matilda. He finds time when he can for music, including playing bass and keyboard. Andrew is an avid fan of R.E.M. and will engage anyone in discussion and debate regarding who is the best rock band ever.
