Lee joins RAD Amplify with more than a decade of experience across creator partnerships, influencer marketing and digital media, working with leading brands in gaming, entertainment and consumer categories, including Activision, Netflix, 2K, SEGA and Lexus. Most recently, he served as Director of Partnerships at QYOU Media, where he built new business and developed creator-led programs for major brands, generating seven-figure revenue.

Previously, he held leadership roles at Super League and Mobcrush, overseeing enterprise account management and large-scale creator campaigns, including a major creator partnership with Ubisoft and first-to-market activations across Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite.

"Danny has spent more than ten years proving that the right creator partnership drives real business results," said Rick Song, CEO of RAD Amplify. "As more brands move creator marketing from ancillary activity to a main driver of growth, they want a partner who can give them a predictive view into performance. Danny understands that shift, and he knows how to build partnerships that deliver on it."

Lee’s appointment comes as brands continue to move media investment toward creator marketing while also raising the bar on performance and ROI measurements.

"Brands don't have a creator discovery problem. They have a decision problem," said Lee. "The teams I've worked with don't need a bigger database. They need to know which creators will actually move their audience before they spend. That’s what drew me to RAD Amplify."

Less than a year since launching, RAD Amplify has moved quickly to build a world-class organization to support the growing demand in creator marketing. Lee's appointment continues RAD Amplify's investment in commercial growth alongside Senior Vice President of Marketing John King, Sales Director Nicole Wilson and Director of Sales Tom Costello, strengthening enterprise partnerships and demand generation as the company scales.

BUNIA, Congo (AP) — Congo’s Ebola outbreak has killed more than 3,000 people out of over 6,100 confirmed cases, the latest government data showed Wednesday, as the disease is spreading at an unprecedented speed, faster than efforts to track and slow it.

Data from Congo’s Ministry of Health showed the outbreak has recorded 6,186 confirmed cases, including 3,007 deaths since it was declared a global health emergency in mid-May. It remains the fastest-growing outbreak of Ebola ever.

Recent weeks have witnessed a surge in cases, with two new health zones affected last week in North Kivu, where the fatality rate is much higher than in the rest of the affected provinces. The virus has spread to six provinces.

Health workers are struggling under difficult conditions and have gone on strike multiple times to demand their pay.

The disease has continued to spread rapidly for several reasons, including conflict in the eastern region of the country where the outbreak is concentrated, attacks on health workers, miners constantly on the move, and inadequate health infrastructure.

The resumption of school in the middle of the outbreak has also raised concerns about transmission in classrooms.

The World Health Organization said the outbreak is on track to exceed the deadliest on record, West Africa's regional outbreak between 2014 and 2016, which killed 11,000 people.

The Africa Center for Disease Control and Prevention said the outbreak is possibly three times larger than the number of cases recorded, as surveillance and contact tracing are still weak. Despite that, the outbreak has already become Congo's deadliest Ebola outbreak.

There is no vaccine or approved treatment for the rare Bundibugyo virus that has sparked the current outbreak. A couple of vaccines are currently being developed to tackle the disease.

The government is distributing the Ervebo vaccine, which has helped combat previous Ebola disease outbreaks and which the WHO said could offer some protection.
