IronPlanet, a leading online marketplace for buying and selling used heavy equipment, has sold more than $4 billion of used equipment and has built an audience of more than one million registered users worldwide. Following the appointment of a new managing director in Canada, IronPlanet sought a way to build awareness for the business among buyers and sellers throughout this important market.
