The Seven Network has named Tara Carlon as its executive producer – digital/sport.
Carlon will manage digital and social strategies and operations for 7SPORT, including next year’s Olympic Winter Games Beijing and the XXII Commonwealth Games, along with digital sports programming.
She has been a highly valued member of the 7SPORT production team for the past six years, working in a variety of roles across Seven’s sport schedule.
In recent years, Carlon has played a key role in establishing ancillary content and building brand integration opportunities on 7SPORT social and digital platforms, working on programs including the Armchair Experts franchise, The Grade Cricketer on 7 and The Heater and Daisy Show.
She started her career in human resources before moving into the sport and broadcast industry, where she worked for organisations including the Geelong Cats and Australian Radio Network prior to joining Seven.

Tara is perfect for the role and her new position will come as no surprise to her colleagues.”
