Herald sales director Guy Johnson leaves after 17 years with Fairfax

Guy Johnson, advertising director of Herald Publications, is leaving the Fairfax at the end of the financial year after 17 years with the company. No announcement has been made on a replacement.

Meanwhile, Fairfax has continued its restructure with appointments and new roles following the appointment of Ed Harrison as commercial director of Fairfax’s metro division just over a fortnight ago.

“In his 17 years with Fairfax, Guy has made a huge contribution to the business,” said Harrison. “I’m pleased that we will be able to use Guy’s experience and knowledge over the coming weeks while we make the transition to the new commercial structure.”

Michael Riach, previously general manager of display sales at The Age, shifts to the combined role of general manager of print sales and sales director for Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.
