Michael Ghosh, head of UK and Nordic sales at Disney-backed children's TV broadcaster Jetix, has been promoted to the role of pan-European ad sales director.

Ghosh will be responsible for developing Jetix Europe's pan-European ad sales and sponsorship business across its 15 TV channels and 19 websites from 1 August.

He has been with Jetix Europe since 2002 and has played a major role in increasing the UK channel's ad sales revenue. In October 2007, he was given responsibility for the broadcaster's ad sales strategy across the Nordic region, which covers the Swedish, Norwegian and Danish markets.

He will continue look after both the UK and Nordic regions, but as part of his new role will widen his remit to develop a pan-European sales strategy for Jetix's clients.

Before joining Jetix as an account manager, Ghosh worked as a sales group head at Channel 4 and ITV.
