Amplitude Media Partners (AMP) Promotes Industry Veteran Cody Kleitz to Vice President of Sales
Amplitude Media Partners (AMP), a leading podcast ad sales and media representation company, today announced the promotion of Cody Kleitz from Senior Sales Manager to Vice President of Sales.
Kleitz joined AMP in June 2024 and quickly established himself as a key driver of the company’s growth and success. During his first full year with AMP, Kleitz generated a multimillion dollar sales total, helping drive significant revenue growth across the company’s portfolio of podcast and digital media properties. Among his notable accomplishments were securing a custom Pride Month sponsorship package in support of the Forever Dog Network and developing multiple branded integrations on professional poker player Daniel Negreanu’s wildly popular World Series of Poker vlog on YouTube. His ability to identify unique partnership opportunities and deliver creative solutions for advertisers has made him one of AMP’s most impactful sales leaders.
“Cody has been instrumental to AMP’s success over the past two years,” said John Donahue, Managing Partner at AMP. “His deep understanding of the podcast advertising ecosystem, combined with his work ethic and commitment to our clients and partners, has helped elevate every aspect of our business. Beyond his impressive sales accomplishments, Cody has emerged as a respected leader within our organization and someone our entire team relies on. This promotion is well deserved, and we’re excited to see him continue to help shape the future of AMP in his new role as Vice President of Sales.”
Prior to joining AMP, Kleitz built his career on the brand agency side of the podcast business, holding roles at Performance Bridge, VeritoneOne and Havas Edge, where he developed extensive expertise in audio advertising, media strategy, and client partnerships. In his new position, Kleitz will help coordinate AMP’s strategic revenue initiatives in an effort to ensure the company’s aggressive goals are continually met or exceeded: this while continuing to expand relationships with advertisers, agencies, and brand partners across the podcasting landscape.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow with AMP and honored by the confidence John and the leadership team have placed in me,” said Kleitz. “The podcast industry continues to evolve in exciting ways, and I’m looking forward to helping our partners capitalize on those opportunities while continuing to build on the incredible momentum we’ve created together.”
The promotion reflects AMP’s continued investment in leadership and its commitment to delivering exceptional results for advertisers, agencies, publishers, and creators throughout the rapidly growing audio marketplace.
