The network, which includes mediasalesjobs.co.uk and mediasalesjobsUK.com, will be merged with MediaWeekjobs.co.uk to provide a comprehensive online resource for both jobseekers and recruiters.
As part of the agreement, Media Week will also become the headline sponsor of the Media Sales Cup – an annual five-a-side football tournament for advertising sales teams.
Simon Devitt, online publishing director at Haymarket Business Media, said: “The purchase of The Friday Pint clearly demonstrates our ongoing commitment to provide the best online experience for both those looking for media sales jobs and advertisers looking to recruit from within the UK media sector.
“Lee [Branch, founder of The Friday Pint Ltd] and his team have created a vibrant business over the past few years and by combining it with our established job site, MediaWeekjobs.co.uk, we will be able to capitalise on their efforts and provide the sector with a unique online recruitment proposition.
“For recruiters this provides unparalleled access to a growing audience of high calibre media sales professionals, from media sales executives to advertising managers, and for the job seeker looking for their next media sales job, access to some of the leading recruiters within the sector.”
Branch said: “We are delighted that The Friday Pint has become part of the clear market-leader MediaWeekjobs.co.uk, which offers an unrivalled online recruitment proposition for any media owner or specialist recruiter looking for new staff.
“We would like to thank everyone that has supported The Friday Pint over the last three years and look forward to seeing many of you at our football tournament the Media Sales Cup in early summer 2010, which will be run in partnership with Media Week.”
