While at Court TV, Reichig developed the first ROI-based secondary effectiveness guarantee, and during the early days of online she conducted the research that led to iVillage.com being the first site to ban pop-ups, developed new ad formats, and turned research into a revenue generator as they fought for TV dollars.
