Overland Park, KS (PRWEB) May 12, 2011

Custom publisher Ascend Integrated Media LLC and its operating brand Ascend Media has hired Darren Sextro as its Vice President of Sales.

According to Ascend president Barbara Kay, “Darren was recruited for the position based on his 20+ year successful track record in media marketing, advertising sales and both technical magazine and health care publication management.”

Darren most recently served as group publisher of four professional-facing brands in allied health care specialties: Plastic Surgery Practice (plastic surgeons), Sleep Review (pulmonologists, neurologists, sleep doctors and allied sleep professionals), RT: For Choice-Makers in Respiratory Care (pulmonologists and allied respiratory care professionals) and 24×7 (biomedical equipment specialists working in hospital environments). His advertising clients included device manufacturers, service providers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. His responsibilities involved complete brand management, including sales and financial oversight, editorial strategy, marketing and audience-development oversight for print and electronic platforms.

Darren has worked in health care media since 2003 and has been in the business-to-business media environment since 1987. He started his career as an editor, and then migrated to publication marketing, sales, sales management and publication management positions, primarily in the electronics and telecommunications market. Among the titles he has managed are Cellular Business, Mobile Radio Technology, Wireless Review, RF Design and the WirelessWorld Conference and Expo.

According to CEO Cameron Bishop, “This year, we’re growing at a strong double-digit growth rate. In fact, business we have added for existing clients who need us to sell magazine and journal advertising and event media advertising and sponsorships for them is growing at an exponential rate. We needed someone with Darren’s experience to manage this growth and our team of 10 media sales specialists where we are currently adding two new positions.”

I always love the hard hitting SUN headlines. They should just write ‘BE AFRAID’ on every front page. That or ‘OBEY’.
