Mr. Padulo is the founder of Padulo Integrated Inc. His clients represent several billion dollars in advertising spend in both traditional and non-traditional media. He is an expert Marketer and a published author. Rick’s published books include I Can Get It For You Retail: Down and Dirty Tales from a Canadian Ad Man.

The Peeks Ad Share Network is a service that will match hash tagged stream titles to potential sponsors.

Payment processing services related to offers will be restricted to brands and approved broadcasters.

“I am extremely pleased to be involved with Peeks because it’s a best of breed! Peeks represents a quantum leap forward in digital advertising that will positively disrupt the market place.
