Mark Corte

VP, Brand & Agency Partnerships

Mark Corte is the VP of Brand & Agency Partnerships for the Midwest and West regions at KERV.ai.

Mark has 20+ years of experience developing and executing sales strategies across existing and emerging media platforms. He has built strong relationships with decision-makers and representatives of Fortune 500 brands, as well as leaders in corporate innovation and transformation—relationships rooted from his experience at The Trade Desk, Warner Bros. Discovery, and The Weather Channel. His previous experiences paved his path to a career in streaming and linear video across sports, news and entertainment, as well as OLV, display, programmatic, and data-driven audience-buying solutions. Mark has built trust with his clients and team by prioritizing clear, transparent, and direct communication, and by exemplifying agility, grit, and grace under stress.

Mark lives with his wife and three teenage boys, who have him busy as an unpaid rideshare driver across great Los Angeles. He’s a native Chicagoan—still a fan of all Chicago sports teams, (sans the Cubs)—and an alum of the University of Iowa.
