Outcast has expanded its national sales team with the addition of John Caronna as vice-president of sales, western region and Roger Blackshaw as vice-president of sales, central region.
They will report to Nathan Gill, chief media officer.
“The growth of our sales team is a direct result of the overwhelming demand for our services,” says Gill. “We have seen significant growth quarter-over-quarter and to support our aggressive regional growth, we have added two of the most experienced interactive media sales executives to our team”.
