Melissa Verner Green returns to ARN as Director of Sales – Melbourne

Melissa Verner Green has been appointed ARN Director of Sales – Melbourne bringing to the network more than two decades of sales leadership experience across Fairfax, SCA, NOVA, Meta and with ARN previously.

For the past decade Melissa has been a senior member of the team at Meta Australia working at the intersection of commercial strategy and digital transformation, leading large-scale adoption of AI-driven marketing, first-party data integration and developing measurement solutions. This new role reflects ARN’s continued investment in senior talent to scale its commercial offering across broadcast, streaming, podcasting, digital and live experiences.

ARN Chief Sales Officer, Richard Hunwick said:

“Melissa’s appointment brings world-class capability to the business. Melissa is one of the most respected commercial leaders in media. The market knows her well, and we are delighted to welcome her back to ARN. Her passion and deep domain experience in radio, and her depth of digital experience is a powerful combination. Her unique skill set will be an enormous asset to our team and our clients.

She has a proven track record of driving growth at scale, from leading complex partnerships to bringing new technologies and commercial models to market. That experience will be incredibly valuable as we continue to build a more integrated entertainment offering.”

Melissa Verner Green said:

“Over the last 10 years, I’ve immersed myself in how brands, agencies and platforms connect in a digital world, but radio is my first love and now feels like the perfect time to step back in and bring my two worlds together.

ARN’s plans using radio, live streaming, podcasting, social and digital video are exciting, and representing the KIIS, GOLD and iHeart brands through this next phase of growth is a fantastic opportunity. I can’t wait to get started.”

Based in Melbourne, Melissa commenced with ARN today, June 1st.
