Eye Corps beefs sales force with new operations role
Ten’s outdoor media company Eye has brought in new sales staff.
Joining as national sales operations manager is Belinda Harper from APN, while Peter Whitehead joins as Victorian sales director from Southern Cross Austereo.
Whitehead replaces Rachel Page, who left to join NineMSN in January.
The hires come five months after the appointment of Mark Fairhurst as Eye’s sales director.
Fairhurst commented: “Our path to solution selling requires leadership and strategic capability. Peter and Belinda will play key roles in that journey.”
Harper’s career to date saw her work at JC Decaux between 2000 and 2004. She spent the past six years with APN in Sydney as group sales manager and national transit manager.
Whitehead was latterly Victorian sales director at Southern Cross Austereo. He started at Austereo in 1998 as account manager.
Ten’s outdoor revenues fell by 7% in the last half of the financial year – a better performance than the company’s TV division, which saw revenue drop by 12%.
