iHeart Minneapolis Names VP of Sales

• iHeartMedia Minneapolis has named Dave Jansen as the new Vice President of Sales of the nine-station group. He will report to Greg Alexander, Region Vice President of Sales for iHeartMedia’s Western Great Lakes Region, who commented, “We are extremely excited to have a person of Dave’s skill set join the iHeart Minneapolis team. Dave’s wealth of experience and vast knowledge of the industry will benefit both our sales team and clients.”

Jansen joins iHeartMedia Minneapolis from Comcast, where he most recently served as a Digital Sales Manager. However, this new gig marks a return to iHeartMedia for Jansen, who previously worked there as an Account Exec from 2007 to 2009. Jansen’s sales background also includes five-plus years as Digital Lead at the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

“This is an extraordinary time to work in media, particularly as the lines between traditional and digital media continue to blur,” said Jansen. “iHeartMedia is a leader in the audio, content and promotional space, reaching massive audiences daily. I’m beyond excited to work with the teams in Minneapolis and the Western Great Lakes Region, sharing this story with our advertisers.”
