MTV Networks’ director of advertising sales has quit the music broadcaster for a senior role at Fairfax Digital.

The departure of Sharb Farjami to replace Fairfax Digital’s departing national sales director Trent Lloyd follows a series of changes at Fairfax Digital.

Harrison will in turn be replaced by Max Eburne, currently director of Première at JCDecaux UK.
