ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Cox Target Media on Tuesday announced the new hire of Jim Hackett as sales director. Hackett will join the company to further develop its growing portfolio of over-the-counter brand partnerships, and represent CTM to the OTC pharmaceutical industry. 

 

Hackett joins CTM with more than 25 years of industry-leading experience in marketing, sales, research and business management roles at major media organizations. Hackett spent 12 years at Parade Magazine, holding positions as SVP integrated solutions and SVP sales, marketing and research. Prior to that, Hackett was the VP advertising sales at Gannett/USAWeekend.

"With increased challenges in traditional channels, OTC brands are looking for new ways to reach a broad set of consumers. Cox Target Media has an innovative solution that offers massive scale through print, digital and mobile channels, but also allows advertisers to effectively target shoppers that are most important to their brands."
