FB: Senior Facebook ad exec leaves for Flurry; company sharing TV data

Senior Facebook ad exec leaves for Flurry; company sharing TV data • 2:05 PM

• Grady Burnett, Facebook's (FB -0.9%) VP of Global Marketing Solutions for the last 4+ years, has left the company to become the COO of hot mobile ad-serving/analytics startup Flurry. Burnett helped craft Facebook's ad strategy, and was an exec at Google's DoubleClick unit before joining the social networking kingpin. (PR)
• Facebook has already seen plenty of executive departures this year, including several involving ad execs. EMEA director Christian Hernandez and North American sales chief Tom Arrix left in July, and ad product chief Gokul Rajaram left in June.
• Separately, Facebook says it will start providing NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox (along with a few smaller partners) weekly reports of Facebook commentary about their shows, in an effort to get the broadcasters to increase their engagement. The move follows the launch of new APIs meant to give media companies a quick birds-eye view of trending topics and public content.
