Founder
Chris Nolan is the founder of Spot-On and the designer of its Pinpoint Persuasion automated direct buying service for the political and advocacy ad markets.
Pinpoint Persuasion platform (P3) is rooted in Nolan’s conviction that political and brand advertising should have separate sales and transaction processes – just as they do for TV ads. She testified on this and other matters related to political ad market before the Federal Election Commission in June 2018.
Before starting Spot-On, Nolan was a daily news reporter in Delaware, Florida and Capitol Hill. As a Silicon Valley columnist she chronicled “Bubble 1.0” from 1996-2001 for the San Jose Mercury News and the New York Post. Her writing has appeared in the Washington Post, the Washingtonian, Fortune, The New Republic and Conde Nast Traveler.
Nolan lives in San Francisco and holds a B.A. degree from Barnard College, Columbia University.

Technical Advisor
Bill bridges the gap between the worlds of business and technology. His many years of design and development experience combine with a deep understanding of clients’ needs to create a unique perspective.
As a Senior Application Developer at Technicolor Creative Services, he focused on connecting systems that were not designed to communicate with one another. As Technology Director at Angel City Data, he specialized in translating business needs into actionable designs. As founder of Conglomco, he used a “whole systems” approach to technology development, paying special attention to the interaction between people and the systems they use.
He is expert at “Geek-to-English” translation, helping clients understand the implications of their technology choices in plain language. Personal motto: “To the user, the interface IS the application.”
