Mark Hilden – Head of Operations
Mark has been in technology for 30+ years. He started out building Traffic & Billing systems for Broadcast TV, Radio & Satellite for Bonneville International. He maintained their older T&B platforms and replaced them with the first client-server T&B system ever built. The scheduler for this system is still being used commercially by some portion of the Marketron customer base.

He contracted with HSW to re-architect the entire How Stuff Works platform which supported seven different sites (over 2M web pages) converting it to be fully CMS-based to support full editorial control of all publisher content. He has now come full circle back to the media industry, joining AdCore® Local, LLC to contribute to the Enterprise Class development techniques and architecture of our AdCore Platform.
