eBay Advertising has appointed Harmony Murphy as its new Head of UK Advertising Sales. Murphy joins from The Telegraph, where she was Global Head of Digital & Programmatic.
At eBay, Murphy will be responsible for managing and growing the company’s display advertising revenue from ebay.co.uk.
She will head up the in-house media sales teams based in London and Manchester and report into Mike Klinkhammer, Director of Advertising Sales EU.
Having joined The Telegraph in 2017, Murphy doubled international programmatic revenue over the course of two years, in part through upskilling the team. Previous to this, she worked at Groupon, IGP Media and Time Inc.
Commenting on her appointment, Murphy said: “It’s incredibly exciting to be working with a digital- and customer-first company that’s responsible for pioneering programmatic solutions, enviable audiences and rich insights – as well as a really talented team.
“I really admire eBay’s ethos of going ‘beyond the sale’ of advertising inventory as well as its determination to break new ground, and I’m looking forward to building truly strategic, impactful and innovative partnerships with our clients.”
Mike Klinkhammer, Director of Advertising Sales EU at eBay added: “Murphy is a brilliant addition to our team here at eBay. Her experience, drive and passion for digital and innovation will be incredibly valuable for us as we look to cement eBay’s reputation as a leading and future-ready advertising partner.”
