MediaWorks Radio Appoints Business Development & Product Manager

MediaWorks Radio is pleased to announce the appointment of Jessica Knox to the position of Business Development & Product Manager, MediaWorks Radio.

Knox has worked in the Auckland radio market for some years, most recently as National Head of Client Services & Trade Marketing for The Radio Network. Knox views her move into the sales management team at MediaWorks Radio Auckland as an opportunity to leverage her skills to benefit the business:

“MediaWorks continues to deliver solutions that generate results for clients and the overall business alike,” she says.“I’m excited to join an organisation that keeps clients top of mind and an eye on the bottom line; a business which has a reputation for exceptional customer service while delivering measurable results on a win-win basis.”

Director of Sales & Branded Content Paul Hancox says: "Jess’ intricate knowledge of critical radio sales incentive and product development environments see her well positioned to add value to the business and represents a significant advantage for MediaWorks Radio.

“We welcome her as the newest member of our enormously talented team”.

Knox has experience in local and international media, beginning her career in the US working for Directors and Producers and later producing photo shoots, commercials, music videos and visual effects and main titles for film and TV such as National Lampoon’s Van Wilder and CBS’s First Monday. Knox is also represented as a writer in the US.

First as Product Development Manager and later when appointed as Head of Client Services & Trade Marketing for The Radio Network, Knox developed and managed one of the most effective loyalty programmes in the Auckland market, and was known for her market leadership in this field.

Knox begins at MediaWorks Radio on 10 April.
