carsales has appointed Sam Zadgan, general manager – commercial partnerships as the newest member to its media leadership team.
Zadgan will manage strategic commercial partnership opportunities and innovation across carsales’ portfolio. He is also tasked with building upon existing supporting solutions to key industry challenges, and enhancing the carsales media and service offering.
With 20+ years of media industry experience, Zadgan worked at Publicis Media Australia as general manager. He also held commercial roles at Dentsu Aegis Network, BBC Studios and Verizon Media.
“carsales is a data and audience-rich business with a history of innovations in technology. Even with the strength of the company, its products and teams have demonstrated to date, it retains almost untapped potential as a digital disrupter. I look forward to building our partnerships and reinforcing and expanding the long-term relationships across the media ecosystem,” said Zadgan.
“My previous interactions as well as the reputation of carsales as a great business with great people, was a strong attraction for me. From day one, I have experienced an entrepreneurial and natural, down to earth atmosphere, throughout the business which is energising to be a part of.”
