NRS makes Client Services hire

The National Readership Survey (NRS) has appointed Matt Salandy as its new Client Service Account Manager.

Matt (pictured) will provide client service support across the organisation’s entire portfolio of subscribers and stakeholders. This includes educating all parties to ensure they fully understand the survey and how they can use it to its full potential. He will also work with Research Manager David Hart to collate responses to subscriber and stakeholder queries as well as maintaining the NRS website. Matt will report into Director of Client & Insight, Alison Finch.

Matt joins NRS from The Press Association where he helped to enhance the company's digital marketing strategy as a content consultant. Before that he spent almost two years at John Brown Media where he managed print and online sales for a number of titles. Matt also completed stints at Time Out and Vitesse Media during more than a decade in the publishing industry.

Alison Finch, Director of Client & Insight, NRS said: “Bringing Matt on board not only bolsters our in-house client relationship expertise but also allows us to benefit from his analytical approach to business development and strategy. We’re in no doubt that the experience he has built up in media sales for the publishing industry makes him a perfect fit with the rest of the team we have in place here.”

Matt Salandy, Client Services Account Manager, NRS said: “NRS provides the unique opportunity to work across both digital and traditional platforms to help publishers up and down the country better understand their readers. I can’t wait to begin strengthening relationships with the survey’s existing and prospective subscribers to ultimately help improve the conversations we have with them.”
