Mark Fairhurst leaves SBS for Eye Corp

SBS ad sales director Mark Fairhurst is leaving the broadcaster to join outdoor media group Eye Corp after a three and a half year stint.

He is set to leave the company in November, and his post will be filled temporarily by COO Richard Finlayson, who was previously SBS’s commercial director.

One of Fairhurst’s key contributions during his time at SBS was to bring the advertsing sales function inhouse.

SBS COO Richard Finlayson said: “Mark has made a significant contribution to SBS and has helped deliver consistent revenue growth and outstanding results for key sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup and Tour de France. Under Mark’s leadership the SBS sales team were named sales team of the year in 2010 by B&T magazine. We wish him all the best for the future.”
