Media network Say Media has hired the former Ninemsn group sales manager Tony Bell (pictured) as its new national agency sales manager.

Bell has been added to the Say stable in what is a newly created position, where he will be asked to drive the media company’s expansion by building new partnerships with media agencies and clients across the country, particularly in NSW.

Bell brings with him more than ten years advertising experience in the publishing industry. 

At Ninemsn, he led a team selling online advertising solutions, while previously he worked on Top Gear magazine for BBC Worldwide in the UK, before launching Top Gear magazine and TopGear.com in Australia as national sales manager for ACP Magazines.

Duncan Arthur, general manager of Say Media Australia and New Zealand, is looking forward to having Bell on board.
