As engage:BDR (ASX:EN1 and EN1O) looks to substantially scale up its business in 2020 through growing revenues and earnings, as well as improving efficiencies and generating better margins, management has established an advisory council to provide access to key incremental clients.

These include publishers, strategic partners and technologies through the influence, relationships and access of well-known and respected AdTech industry leaders.

Founding members include Warren Zenna, Sean Clayton, James Hritz and Jonathan Slavin, all of whom have established reputations across the various industries serviced by EN1.
