Member News: Greg Foster to join AWNA’s sales team
The AWNA is pleased to announce that industry veteran Greg Foster is joining its sales department, starting on Tuesday, October 14th.
Greg will help complement AdWest’s efforts to help build our members’ national advertising base, with a focus on Alberta sales, particularly in Calgary.
Many members know Greg from his days as publisher of the High River Times and President of the Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association. He got his start in advertising sales working for Southam (now CanWest) in the early 90’s in B.C.’s lower mainland. Duff Jamison recruited Greg to work for the St. Albert Gazette and later he moved to Lethbridge to head up sales for a ‘shopper’ that Great West Newspaper Group had acquired. Greg then settled in High River and worked for a number of years with Sun Media. He was publisher of the High River Times and was group publisher for Sun Media’s southern Alberta weeklies.
Several years ago, Greg left the publishing industry to pursue private interests, but came back to his roots a little over a year ago, re-joining Great West Newspaper Group as Advertising Director for the Red Deer Express.
Greg looks forward to re-acquainting himself with AWNA members in the near future.
