Meet the team: Julia
Get to know the team behind the Yahoo Search products and partnerships.
Name: Julia Grogan
Team: Search Partner Management
Based in: London, United Kingdom
Time at Yahoo: 6 years. I was an AOLer, working in the platforms team (SSP and DSP) before I joined the Search team in 2020
What I do at Yahoo: I work with our EMEA based B2B Search partners to grow our Yahoo Search reach in the region. Yahoo Search has a big footprint in the UK, France and Italy through our long lasting partnerships with Mobile app/Software developers and Media agencies; and my job is to make sure that our partners drive quality traffic with highly engaged users that drive revenue for both parties.
What I love about Search: Unlike any other type of advertising (native, video, audio, influencers, etc.) search is the least intrusive and, in my opinion, the most valuable one. The search evolution with AI, however, will most likely rewrite the story, which both excites and scares me.
When I’m not working you can find me____: playing with my 1 year old toddler in the English countryside along with my husband and our 5 year old dog, a black and white whippet. I am a nature lover, love running and cycling with my family. Our new family adventure for the year ahead is to build our very own campervan and explore the breathtaking outdoors in Wales and Scotland.
Favorite Yahoo product (past or present): Yahoo Finance, I have the urge at every single push notification to open up the article!
When I’m working I’m listening to: I like a real mix of Afro-soul, Chill House, Country, Dance, Disco Essentials, Hip Hop & RNB based on my mood whether if I need to chill or dance to let some stress go. Oh and my big addiction is Audible, I love listening to authors like Michelle Obama and Brené Brown reading their own books out loud, it feels like having a 121 with them.
Work motto: Against the odds
