Sky Makes Mobile Appointments

Sky has appointed former AOL head of mobile Tim Hussain as its first head of mobile advertising, while David Gibbs has been promoted to general manager for mobile.

Hussain joins former AOL colleagues Giles Ivey, sales director for Sky Digital Media, and Andy Jonesco, MD of Sky’s online business unit.

Reporting to Ivey, Hussain will be responsible for developing mobile brand activities.

In his new role, Gibbs will oversee the day-to-day operations of Sky’s mobile products and services.

Sky is currently in negotiations with operators to enable it to sell against its own inventory on their portals.

The broadcaster has around seven million unique visitors per month through mobile network portals and its own range of WAP sites.
