More information on him: industrystandard.net industrystandard.net The Internet Advertising Bureau reported Tuesday morning that Net advertisers spent $490.7 million during the third quarter of 1998, up 16 percent over the second quarter and up 116 percent over the same period in 1997. "We're seeing greater revenue growth over a higher base," IAB chairman Rich LeFurgy told The Standard. thestandard.net Richard Lefurgy is popping up everywhere.

Meanwhile, LeFurgy maintains his chairman spots at the Internet Advertising Bureau and the Procter & Gamble-inspired Future of Advertising Summit Committee. thestandard.net The Internet Advertising Bureau has named an additional nine members to its board, bringing the total to 16. The new members are: David Adams of Winstar Interactive; Susan Bratton of At Home Network; former Starwave exec Rich LeFurgy; DoubleClick's Lee Nadler; Chris Niemeth from New York Times Electronic Media; Debbie Pinkerston from OnSale; Scott Schiller from Buena Vista Internet Group; Greg Stuart of Cars.com; and Kenny Wachtel, who's at Excite. thestandard.net Though the quarter was healthy, the days of triple-digit increases experienced throughout 1997 are gone, one of the signs of a maturing market. "I don't think there's going to be any big bang when a surge of advertisers will come online, but we'll see steady increases like this," said Rich LeFurgy, chairman of the IAB. thestandard.net Phillips' exit is the latest in a series of abrupt changes at the top of the Disney hierarchy.
