Network Ten hires Barry O’Brien as chief sales officer
Ten has hired former PHD CEO Barry O’Brien as its chief sales officer.
The popular O’Brien stepped down as boss of PHD in April. He replaces Mike Morrison who lasted just six months in the role and departed last week.
O’Brien worked on the media agency side of the industry for more than 20 years, building up Total Advertising which eventually successfully relaunched as Omnicom’s Australian operation of PHD.
Barry! I was waiting to see where you’d pop up. Ten are lucky to have you! x
Now thats a better fit.
Massive coup for Ten. Could suggest the serious of their intentions to win the NRL broadcasting rights.
Great move.
Great hire
Great hire. As a client, it is heartening to see Ten appear to be more serious about sales strategy
What a great hire by 10. Got one of the best.
Congratulations Barry! Great hire by 10.
