Eye Airports, the UK’s leading airport advertising company has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of Ged Weston as Sales Director, and Jim Cohen as Head of Agency Sales.
These high profile appointments are part of the overall growth of the sales team that will provide two fully integrated agency teams with responsibility for Eye Airport’s entire portfolio including Experiential and Sponsorship opportunities. Having two agency teams will provide more bandwidth so each team can focus on their own set of agencies, providing better coverage and forging stronger agency and client relationships.
- Ged Weston joins Eye Airports having spent the last two years at Clear Channel where he was Agency Director; prior to that he was National Sales Director at JCDecaux.
- Jim Cohen joins Eye Airports from JCDecaux UK, where he was Head of Rail. Cohen will work alongside fellow Head of Agency Sales, Beau Dallon, and will be responsible for driving the sales performance of client and agency teams. Both will report to Ged Weston.
Managing Director, Sarah Parkes told us “We’ve got ambitious plans for Eye Airports and with airport audiences continuing to grow apace and further investment in digital advertising, the future is very exciting. I am absolutely delighted that Ged Weston has chosen to join Eye Airports and share in this vision. Having both Jim Cohen and Beau Dallon heading up their own agency teams is going to be integral to Eye Airports business and will make for more informed planning and decision making with our agencies.”
