Keiran Beasley has stepped down from his role as national manager, digital and TV sales at SBS Australia after a 13 year tenure with the broadcaster. SBS is searching for his successor.
Beasley became a central commercial leader within the network, holding multiple senior roles and contributing to some of the organisations most significant sporting and advertising milestones over the past decade.
“Many who have worked closely with Keiran will agree that he brings thoughtfulness, integrity and calm to everything he does — always with good humour and quiet confidence. He’s generous with his time, sharp in his thinking, and famously consistent, whether that’s his daily ‘uniform’ or his devotion to a beautifully simplified life of Apple products and Teslas. He’s the kind of colleague who lifts the people around him, and SBS is better for having had him,” said Lee Fifoot acting director of media sales at SBS Australia.
“Keiran leaves SBS with our very best wishes, and he will be missed immensely. We will begin recruiting for his role in the coming weeks, and I’m very appreciative that Kizz has agreed to stay on until 26 June to help ensure a smooth lead-up to the World Cup.”
Beasley joined SBS in November 2012 to lead SBS Media’s sales efforts for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He brought a blend of commercial acumen, curiosity and leadership that would see him through a range of senior roles across the organisation.
Among these was national brand partnership manager, where he led trade marketing, client solutions, strategy and creative services, oversaw the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the SBS Annual Upfronts from 2013 to 2019.
In his most recent role, Beasley helped drive record sales for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, focused on growing SBS On Demand while defending linear TV, and delivered some stellar Media-i results in recent years.
