News Digital Media Boost WA Sales Offering

Completes national sales roll-out

News Digital Media today announced the launch of an on-ground advertising sales team in Western Australia.

This launch means that News Digital Media now has a sales presence in Australia’s five major capital cities.

The sales team responsible for perthnow.com.au and The Sunday Times will now be responsible for local advertising bookings across News Digital Media’s 23 online brands.

Ed Smith, chief commercial officer, News Digital Media, highlighted the importance of creating a national sales presence.

“News Digital Media is committed to delivering the best advertising and sales options to advertisers nationwide. In providing dedicated, local sales teams in every major capital city, advertisers are able to receive a truly focused service from teams with strong local knowledge.

“We have an outstanding on-ground sales team responsible for perthnow.com.au and The Sunday Times so it is a natural progression for us to extend their responsibility to represent News Digital Media’s entire network and build on pre-existing relationships.”

Previously, News Digital Media bookings in the Western Australian market were sold from News Digital Media’s Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne offices.

News Digital Media’s Western Australian sales team will be headed by Simon Ingleson and will be responsible for all of News Digital Media mastheads and national online brands:

- news.com.au

- CareerOne.com.au

- carsguide.com.au

- GetPrice.com.au

- moshtix

- notebookmagazine.com

- overlander.com.au

- taste.com.au

- truelocal.com.au

The launch of an on-ground sales team in Western Australia follows the successful launch of an on-ground sales team in Queensland in July this year.
