Seven’s director of program partnerships Lisa Squillace exits
Lisa Squillace, Seven’s director of program partnerships, has left the network after more than nine years.
Squillace has not yet revealed where she is headed, but Mumbrella understands it is to join Ten’s new sales team.
Squillace has been with Seven for more than nine years
For the last two years, Squillace has worked as director of program partnerships having first joined Seven Network as the sales operation manager in 2009 before being appointed sales director for sponsorships and multi-channels two years later.
As a result, Kate Finney, head of Seven’s program partnerships will take on Squillace’s role. In her role, Finney will manage strategy, creative direction and implementation of brand integration into Seven’s programming.
Natalie Harvey, Seven’s director of sales, said she was delighted to announce the new appointment.
“The extensive experience she’s gained throughout her career at Seven has shown her to be second to none, and this is a very natural and perfect step up for her. I look forward to seeing her continued success in this new role,” Harvey said.
Finney: The newly appointed director of program partnerships
Finney said she was looking forward to the new role.
“As we showed with our recent AFL / McDonald’s integration, Seven is a leader in the delivery of high quality, entertaining, brand integration into the most effective medium of TV,” Finney said.
“And with the biggest and best portfolio of entertainment brands to work with, from Kitchen Rules to House Rules, and Home and Away to Better Homes and Gardens, the integration opportunities for our commercial partners across all Seven West Media assets are unlimited.”
Ten declined to comment when approached by Mumbrella.
Awesome work Katie! Good to see Seven promoting great talent from within.
