Join us for an evening with Tom Coburn and Jonathan Lacoste, two BC alumni who started Jebbit, an advertising platform that creates interactive campaign experiences for consumers to explore and engage with brands (via Jebbit's interactive ad-bar) through existing online content like display ads, videos, and landing pages. In return for correct interaction, consumers can unlock exclusive deals or earn cash.
Following the the discussion, there will be open Q+A and networking; refreshments will be served.
