Media Sales Mastery

Audience research is one of the most under-utilised assets in media sales. Companies invest heavily in data, insights, and studies; but too often it never makes it into client conversations in a meaningful way.In this episode, Jamie Wood sits down with Leigh Lavery, GM of Growth Distillery at News Corp, to unpack how media sales professionals can turn audience research into a true commercial advantage.From simple ways to embed insights into everyday conversations, to reframing value beyond reach and CPM, this episode is packed with practical tactics to help you sell smarter using data.Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-wood-1b824017/

Media sales and media agencies work incredibly closely together—but if we’re honest, there are still plenty of frustrations on both sides of the table.In this episode of Media Sales Mastery, we’re tryingsomething a little different.Ahead of the recording, a number of agency professionals were invited to submit completely anonymous “confessions”—unfiltered thoughts about what they wish media salespeople truly understood about how agencieswork, how decisions get made, and what actually frustrates them when dealing with sellers.These aren’t polished answers or PR-friendly statements. They’re the kind of things agency people normally only say behind closed doors.Joining me to unpack them in real time is Adele Gibb,Managing Director of Carat South Australia. Together, we’llread through these anonymous confessions and discuss what they reveal about the real dynamics between agencies and media sales teams.Some of them are funny.Some are uncomfortable.And some might challenge the way media sellers think about their role entirely.If you work in media sales and have ever wondered what agency buyersreally think but rarely say out loud, this episode is for you.Expect honest conversation, practical insights, and a few uncomfortable truths that might just make you a better seller.Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-wood-1b824017/

In this epside we do a re-broadcast of an interview between Wade Kingley, host of the Quarter Hour Podcast and Jamie.https://www.thequarterhour.com/We cover off how to manage a crisis within a media business, using the very publicised Kyle and Jackie o show fallout as a real time case study.Jamie also covers two listener questions from people facing similar unplanned / unexpected situations that impact reputation, relationship and revenue.Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-wood-1b824017/

AI is everywhere in sales right now, but most of the conversation is either overhyped, oversimplified, or completely disconnected from how media sales actually works.In this solo episode of Media Sales Mastery, Jamie Wood breaks down the real role of AI in media sales and explains why sellers cannot afford to leave AI adoption to IT teams, leadership, or generic tools designed by people who do not sell.Building directly from the previous episode Busy But Not Selling, this episode introduces a powerful way of thinking about AI as seller-owned leverage rather than automation.Using a left-brain / right-brain model of media sales, Jamie walks through real, day-in-the-life examples of how ChatGPT can reduce friction, improve decision quality, and free sellers to spend more time in the parts of the role where human judgment actually matters.This episode does not teach tactics or demo tools.It sets the foundation for what comes next.Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-wood-1b824017/
