During his eight years at The Guardian, Fels helped reposition the national news outlet for mobile, working towards its native advertising offering as well as its LiveApps (across both smartphone and tablet). For the last five years he was focused solely on mobile and video, two of the fastest growing areas of digital advertising.

Speaking about his appointment, Lee said, “Having worked with one of the world’s largest online publishers for nearly a decade, and being one of Teads customers during that time, I’m excited to join the company. I know the challenges faced by premium publishers when expanding into video and mobile and am looking forward to helping both existing and prospect clients address this using Teads’ native formats; As one of Teads customers, I saw how the innovation of native video advertising truly helped publishers with the difficult demand of significantly monetising video.”

Justin Taylor, UK MD at Teads, said: “Our approach of offering publishers native video formats, which work seamlessly across all channels enhancing the user experience, is going from strength to strength. Having someone of Lee’s calibre on the team, with his deep understanding of publishers’ perspective, will veritably accelerate our growth in the UK.”
