Eyeview has seen massive growth in 2014 with over 50 new hires across its US offices alone. The company plans to continue its extensive hiring push and expand its regional presences in Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles. The funding will also be leveraged to increase sales and marketing efforts in new shopper marketing and travel verticals, and grow existing automotive and retail verticals, as demand for more effective video advertising increases across all industries.
