Dean Bishop
Australian women’s lifestyle network Are Media has appointed Dean Bishop agency lead for its independent agencies team.
Bishop joins the team from Nine where he worked across the total tv and total audio sales teams. He was most recently as group business manager.
He will report to Jimmy Kerr, Are Media’s NSW head of sales.
“Dean is one of the rising stars in the media sales world and we’re thrilled to bring someone of his calibre into the business at such a pivotal time,” said Kerr.
“His experience and understanding of the independent agency landscape will be instrumental in accelerating our growth and driving stronger outcomes for our clients.”
Bishop said is excited to join Are Media and work across its portfolio of women's brands.
“I’m incredibly excited to be joining the powerhouse that is Are Media,” said Bishop.
“Their iconic brands inspire and connect with Australian women daily, and now, with industry-leading data and the acceleration of audio and video products, we’re unlocking powerful new ways for partners to grow with us.”
Are Media announced its partnership with ARN’s iHeart podcast network earlier this week, expanding the reach for its premium video-led podcasts and helping create new opportunities for brands across both platforms.
