SAN FRANCISCO – LookSmart, Ltd. (NASDAQ:LOOK), the search advertising network and management company, announced that Gill Brown has joined the company as Vice President of Advertising Sales. Brown most recently served on the sales leadership team of Tribal Fusion. Brown will be based out of LookSmart’s San Francisco headquarters and will report to Sr. Vice President and General Manager Jonathan Ewert. He will be responsible for developing new business relationships, forming strategic partnerships and managing LookSmart’s existing sales team.

“We are very pleased to have Gill join our sales and management teams,” said Ewert. “As a veteran of Internet media, Gill brings with him a wealth of experience, having held leadership positions with Yahoo!, Deja.com and CMP Media. I look forward to working with Gill as we build on LookSmart’s success in the market and seek to enhance our leadership position in search advertising networks.”

From 2000 to 2007, Brown worked at GoTo.com, Overture Services, and Yahoo! Search Marketing where he evangelized the paid-search advertising model for Yahoo! and built the company’s entire Northwest Regional Sales operation.

“For online advertisers targeting a specific industry or market, search ad networks can be a source of quality traffic. LookSmart has a proven reputation for helping leading brands run successful campaigns every day, allowing marketers to maximize value, regardless of the size or scope of the campaign,” said Brown. “I am delighted to be able to join the company at this stage of its growth and I look forward to leveraging my experience in the industry to help the company continue its success.”
