LONDON - Associated New Media, the digital publishing arm of Daily Mail and Evening Standard publisher, Associated Newspapers, has appointed AOL's executive director of international sales, Mary McGregor, as its sales director.

McGregor takes up the newly created role next month, reporting to group commercial director, Mark Milner. She will be responsible for display and classified advertising, as well as commercial partnerships for ANM's Homes and Property and This is Travel websites.

Milner said: "We are delighted that Mary is joining us. She brings with her an extremely strong commercial background and is well equipped to grow the team and develop our relationships with advertisers to build on this year's success."

McGregor, whose previous roles include a stint as vice-president of sales at Sportal, joined AOL Time Warner in March last year.

Earlier this year, ANM put its Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday titles online and this month its Evening Standard website, This is London, was named website of the year in the Press Gazette's Regional Press Awards.
