Clear Channel appoints new sales operations director

Clear Channel UK has appointed Ben Price as sales operations director, it has been announced.

Price joins from Future Publishing where he focused on developing operational processes, products and strategies.

In his new role Price will work to shape and deliver “fast and practical” commercial opportunities across Clear Channel’s estate whilst managing the brand’s sales support, campaign planning and media executive teams.

He will report to UK group sales director, Richard Bon.

“We are delighted to have further strengthened our senior leadership team with Ben’s appointment,” said Bon.

“He brings a wealth of experience to the new role, and I look forward to working with him.”

Price added: “Clear Channel is leading the Out of Home sector and I’m looking forward to being part of their trailblazing investment in the automation of their planning, buying and delivery processes.”

Price’s appointment follows Clear Channel’s move towards digital, which most recently saw the launch of their automated Ad Platform in the UK.
