Newsquest Herald & Times drops Essential Media for sales

The Glasgow Herald & Times Group’s recruitment advertising sales for its online and print titles have been taken on by Newsquest Media Sales.

The work was previously handled by London based sales house Essential Media.  

The recruitment portfolio includes Scotland’s Appointments in the Herald, and S1jobsGlasgow in the Evening Times which will be taken on by the 10 man recruitment team from today (19 March).

The current in-house team of five will continue to work alongside media agencies in Scotland in selling advertising space.

Essential Media is thought to have been ‘badly affected’ by the loss of the business which will see job cuts made as a result.

It is understood that the decision was made by Newsquest for ‘cost effective’ reasons.
