Ad Results Media Taps Imran Ismail To Lead Client Operations And Strategy.

The audio ad agency Ad Results Media has hired Imran Ismail as its first Managing Director. The audio-centric ad agency calls it a “pivotal addition” to its leadership team as it continues to scale and evolve in an increasingly dynamic audio and media landscape.

Ismail most recently served as Executive Director of Planning and Business Leadership at Crossmedia USA, where he led evidence-based strategies to enhance client engagement and drive measurable outcomes. Earlier, Ismail spent time at ad agency media-buying giants including Mediacom, Initiative and Omnicom Media Group. That has included work for a diverse roster of clients, including Sony PlayStation, U.S. Bank, Planet Fitness, Kay Jewelers, Zales, Jared and Amtrak.

In his new role, Ismail will oversee all client-facing operations and is focused on deepening client partnerships and ensuring his team is seamlessly aligned to deliver the measurable impact for brands. Internally, he is also tasked with helping to sharpen how ARM’s media teams work together, strengthening the connection between strategy, planning, creative and measurement.

“ARM is at a moment of exciting growth, and Imran is precisely the kind of leader who will help guide our team and clients through what’s next,” CEO Jordan Fox says in the announcement. “His knowledge of advanced analytics, passion for brand-building, and client-first mindset make him a perfect fit for the role.”

With the audio industry rapidly expanding into video and other emerging platforms, ARM says Ismail’s expertise in cross-channel strategy and measurement uniquely positions the agency to help brands navigate this shift. With more than 20 years of experience leading complex organizations and partnering with brands to drive measurable growth, it says he has developed a deep understanding of how data can unlock smarter marketing decisions.

“This is an incredible opportunity to join ARM at such an exciting moment in the evolution of audio and creator-led media, and to work alongside a team that’s truly redefining the industry,” says Ismail. “I’m passionate about building meaningful client relationships and helping our partners navigate this space with clarity, creativity, and measurable impact.”
