Fairfax sales department grows while AFR subs axed
Just a day after announcing 13 sub editors were to be made redundant at the Australian Financial Review, Fairfax Media has created two new roles in its sales department.
Following the recently-announced changes to its national sales division which include the promotion of Paul Sigaloff to National Sales Director, Fairfax Metro Media today announced that it had created two new senior sales roles within Sigaloff’s expanded remit.
Ben Gunn has been appointed National Trading Director, with responsibility for managing, analysing and growing contracted business nationally across the Metro Media portfolio.
Chris Freel has been appointed NSW Agency Sales Director, responsible for running the agency sales team in NSW, and developing client relationships across all Sydney- based agencies.
