Eurosport has restructured its sales department and created a new
commercial strategy and development department, which will be run out of
its Paris office.
Eurosport's sales director, Dominic Burns, has been promoted to director
of the commercial department and will relocate to Paris.
Liz Jones, deputy sales director, who has worked at Eurosport for
four-and-a-half years, will take on the position of sales director.
Burns and Jones will both report to Jean-Yvef Bonsergent, deputy
managing director of Eurosales.
Burns will look at what Eurosport is calling 'special operations' -
exploring commercial opportunities other than straight advertising. He
will also handle Eurosport's marketing and trade communications.
Meanwhile, sales manager David Orman has taken the role of deputy sales
director, reporting to Jones. Orman will continue to sell to a raft of
agencies, chiefly Carat.
Completing the moves, Claire Holland has been promoted to sales manager
from group head. She will run the Zenith and Media Planning Group
accounts.
