APN NZ Media is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew McNally to a new key role of Group Sales Director, starting in February.

The appointment is part of APN’s goal of building a more integrated business with a greater focus on multi-media sales and leveraging quality content across new channels – giving our advertising clients even greater opportunities to reach existing and new markets.

Andrew has also held a variety of senior sales leadership roles across News Limited's newspaper business.

APN NZ Media has also announced the resignation of The New Zealand Herald and Herald on Sunday Advertising General Manager Greg Hornblow.

After 27 years with The New Zealand Herald and associated titles, Greg is to take up the position of General Manager, Bayleys Realty Group, based in Auckland.

Greg started as an advertising cadet with The New Zealand Herald, moving through a number of advertising departments and roles, including Herald classified manager, Herald on Sunday advertising manager and publisher of the Aucklander.

For the past three years, he has been GM Advertising of the Herald and Herald on Sunday.

Greg has made a significant contribution to the company over many years. He has forged strong and enduring relationships with a large number of Herald and APN advertising clients, and driven many business initiatives.
