In February, Nine appointed a new national sales team under Total Television, Total Audio and Total Publishing as it accelerates towards its digital future.

Michael Stephenson, Nine’s chief sales officer said: “Nikki is one of the most senior sales leaders in our industry and I can’t wait to welcome her into the Nine family. Nikki is an important part of our senior team and will make sure that we continue to lead the way in Total TV, Total Audio and Total publishing.”

“She has an outstanding track record and is one of the industry’s most respected players for a reason. Nikki has an in depth understanding of what marketers need in a world where consumer behavior has changed forever. The future of media is total media and Nikki is the perfect person to lead our single largest sales team. I can’t wait for her to start.”

Earlier this year, Stephenson told Mumbrella the network was focusing on Total TV, audio and publishing.

“I can’t think of a more exciting time to be joining Nine,” said Rooke of her appointment. “The scale of audience and depth of data in combination with some of the most premium environments for brands across TV, BVOD, Radio and Print provide a proposition that I just can’t wait to be part of.

“In addition, there are so many talented people at Nine, many of whom I have worked with before, and I’m looking forward to learning from them and working with them to deliver brilliant results for advertisers and for the business.”
