BOULDER, Colo. (BRAIN) — Australia-based website CyclingTips.com has hired U.S. industry veteran Steve Brawley to manage commercial media sales.
Brawley left Bicycling magazine in May when his position was eliminated. He worked at the Rodale publication for 11 years; prior to that, he served as advertising director at VeloNews, where he worked for nine years.
Based in Chicago, Brawley will join the existing CyclingTips U.S. team of editor Neal Rogers, tech editor James Huang, and director of North American sales, Mark Gouge.
Wade Wallace, the founder and publisher of CyclingTips, said he was thrilled to bring Brawley aboard.
"It's a difficult time for publishers, but we're thankful for the generous support we're seeing from our industry brand partners," Wallace said. "Being small, nimble and efficient has allowed us to offer our advertisers much more than traditional media, and even the Facebook and Google giants. The all-star team we've attracted is now even stronger with Steve on board. He'll be instrumental to creating more partnerships and helping us invest more in the U.S. market."
Brawley starts on Monday, July 10, and can be reached at steve.brawley@cyclingtips.com.
